burritos are like "yeah we're going to take all the individual components of a meal and smush them together into a cylinder" and it's just so implausible that this works

1950s sci-fi was right about the "meal in a pill" thing they were just wrong about the pill size, composition, date of invention, and culture of origin

Meal in a pill burrito, you say...

i know it's kinda bound to happen since they're all manufactured over there but it still makes me sad when I go on Aliexpress and see knockoff enamel pins. Like I don't usually have many qualms with knockoffs, because yknow, big company? fuck em. But when it's enamel pins from small artists, kinda sucks. especially when they have basically 0 recourse

a friend of mine (who's on here, actually!), in a previous life, designed fan patches for space missions, and got low volume runs done, had a distributor and everything

someone lifted the most popular spacex design wholesale and it got knocked off hard, it sucked.

An enamel pin artist I really like did some great Bojack Horseman designs and they were all knocked-off and sold on Ali. She quit making anything in that vein and the ugly copies are all but ubiquitous now.

Ick.
