  1. Was denkt die #Bahn sich eigentlich bei solchen völlig fehldesignten, rein symbolischen Ablagen? Hätte man die wenigstens waagrecht montiert und das Wagendach nicht seitlich abgeschrägt, bliebe zumindest Platz für ein Daypack.
    Dass #Regionalzüge auch Zubringer für #Fernverkehr mit großem Gepäck sind, wurde gar nicht bedacht. Und so steht völlig brandschutzwidrig der Gang voller Gepäck und eigentlich kann man Leute, die mit Gepäck Sitze blockieren, nicht mal kritisieren …

  2. Hints for the housewife

    Finding it hard to attract ants into your home?

    Missing Formicidae making long trails across your floors and cabinetry?

    #Coles comes to your rescue with their "Australian white Sugar" 1kg bags.

    Carefully designed by experts, these bags split almost invisibly, helping the modern housewife spread tiny sugar crystals throughout her home!

    And, if cash is short, this product can be returned to a Coles supermarket with their money back guarantee after use.

  3. Oh, the joys of web design gimmicks! 🎨✨ Let's all give a warm welcome to "Scroll Fade," the digital equivalent of trying to read a book while someone gently but insistently shoves it away from you. 🙄 Bravo, web designers, for making sure we all get the same "truly terrible experience." 👏😆

  4. 😵 Dark mode just cost me two straight days of work at least. How? Just look at the picture below and witness things appearing out of nothing.

    Background info: I like #Futo #LouisRossmann and the #ConsumerRightsWiki and planned to do a drive-by-contribution so that they get a proper logo.

    And, yes, I DID search thoroughly for an existing logo. Now that I'm almost finished I turned on dark mode by accident and was baffled. Looks like all my work was for nothing.
