According to the article, it’s done for market research, i.e. finding out who buys what, which is a thing businesses like to know. But also apparently it allows the machine to generate “AI-powered product recommendations”, which i guess means it tailors reccomendations to each user? Which it can do because it has a touch screen, and the touch screen itself already strikes me as full of shit.

That’s what the article says this machine in particular does; but yes, it could totally change the price on you depending on what you look like, and all other kinds of deeply shady things. You can count on a private company to do that kind of thing and then use their favorite argument: it’s technically legal.

None of my family members know what a furry is and i’m keeping it that way.

i want a turn in a femboy sounds good

i would have never thought of this in 1000 years lol

I never knew that the stock drawing is based on an IRL stock photo

What’s funny is that i ran this image through Nightshade to protect it against AI, whereas i posted to FA and E926 before AI was as big so that older version is clean. Apparently the bot doesn’t get confused between the two versions which is great.

impressive

wait how?? does the bot find the furaffinity link and do a reverse image search? that’s so cool and honestly overbuilt lol

You don’t understand, this batter was a lot saltier than the batter you’re thinking of

Tons, and cinnamon, flour, and a little bit of salt. I find that the bread dilutes the flavor, so i overload the batter to compensate.

I don’t like bland french toast

First thing i did, while my mouth was still salty from the first bite, is go get my sharpie.

Never again

There’s a 1% chance that the weird cousin who never comes to family gatherings might be a furry. That’s absolutely it.

The idea of having hobbies in common with family members seems alien to me - which i think, to quote the meme phrase, Says A Lot About Society.

The stereotype is just too perfect, you know? I’m sure there’s a ton of furry hackers, but there’s a lot more people who have heard of this stereotype and think it’s funny.

I also think furry hackers would target the Repuclican National Convention or something

I did find a KazuK9 on Twitter, but i scrolled really far down their media tab and didn’t see the tweet in this screenshot. Either they deleted it or it’s an older meme. I did see a lot of furry femboy paws though.

Searching Faruk Kazuk with no other indication returned a lot of turkish-looking men.

This man needs to discover furries. Being walked on all fours is pretty weird even for furries, but he would definitely have some sympathy and less judgement than with normies.

YouTube, Amazon, Allrecipes?

Some of those were around in floppy disk dimes, others not so much.
