    What nonsense. How could they spend their hard-earned money on that?

    Luckily I made much better choices, so my kids will some day inherit quite the impressive Star Wars Armada spaceship collection.

      Unfortunately those kids will have misplaced nostalgia for flowery tea seats, but their kids will love the spaceship collection!

      Of course she does, she carries the weight of civilization.

      “The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. Studies have shown that an ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.”

    We have four sets of fine china in our basement, from various grandparents passing. We also got one for our wedding. One day I’m going to pass them all to my kids.

    I’m hoping that one day society collapses under the burden of guilt ridden plates.

      I started using one of the sets I inherited as day to day plates. So far nothing’s broke, and I feel classy AF eating a bologna sandie off fine china.

        Love that. I always found it mildly annoying when people have all these sets but never use them. Why. Why not. What’s the point of having them in a drawer

    As someone who haunts estate auctions, for the voyuerism as well as the opportunity for cheap goods, this looks very much like a standard staple on auction in an effort to clean out the item of real value: the house.

    One of my friends family had one of those filled with so many plates that one of the shelves buckled and fell breaking all of them.

        i think the picture in the post might have been run through some ai filter. the plates, cups, etc. have those characteristic ai “smudges” on them, and i can’t say that the hand looks any more correct. i’m just wondering why would somebody bother putting this through such filter, unless that was done automatically by some random software

          That does seem quite possible, I was suspicious of the smearing as well which is why I went looking for a source. As to why it would get put through a filter, hard to say, but it’s becoming far too common which further blurs the line between real and AI.

      What makes you think it’s slop? Yes, she has an abnormally large bicep, but apart from that? Honest question.
