[Arlekino]

Would you share your thoughts about commodities I mean absolutely nonsense which I am surprise what capitalist can provide for us.

Any birds. Interesting we can buy in shops catapults. Anyway is crap commodity.

You mean slingshots? I've never heard of any bird so big you need a catapult to kill it, except maybe for one of these (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moa).


perfumers

I would say those serve a pretty straightforward function if you consider smelling nice a good thing.

Coca-Cola. A lot of people are addicted to the caffeine/high fructose corn syrup combination.... I personally don't see the point in it, but some people like it....

Now that is a non-sense commodity. Do the owners of the business actually believe in it or are they just taking advantage of fundie foolishness and laughing all the way to the bank?

Just a joke. I'm a woman and fuck people that call me a bird :lol: I must not have spoken to anyone normal for a while. It took me about five seconds to realise you were using "birds" in the vernacular for the effect of an ironic sexist joke, rather than literally as a surreal one.

Anyway slingshots are far from being a "nonsense commodity" given that some birds are geniune pests. Plus in countries where guns are illegal they can be, if you're practiced enough, good weapons of defence.

Gardening tools ("weird" or otherwise) similarly have quite an obvious set of horticultural applications.

Well, this is a classic of course:

For $135.00 we will guarantee that should the Rapture occur within ten (10) years of receipt of payment, one pet per residence will be saved.
God surely has a nose for business.

Fidel is and Che was a great fan of coca-cola. Fidel even called New Coke an example of capitalist decadence.

Since we're on the food thing:

But really I don't think food (or cola even) are idiotic commodities although they are often produced in an absurd and idiotic form in capitalism (as seen above). People like sugar and fat and so it's not a completely "useless" commodity like some things.

Debt is a useless non-thing that has become a commodity.

Redundant technologies while different companies fight to become a standard or monopolize an industry produce a lot of useless commodities. For example, why do video games have to be produced for each format; why aren't all programs open; why are 6-7 different companies all competing with different ways to bring web-distributed film and television to home TV sets; why format battles like Beta v VHS and HDVD v Bluray?

Why all the programs and technologies to prevent information technology from doing what ti does best - distribute information at no cost. Programs to prevent digital copying, to prevent reading DVDs from different regions, etc. With technology, it's like companies didn't buy the road but they are putting tolls up anyway.

SUVs can't haul like trucks and can't carry as many as a van, so they are only really useful in generating higher profits for auto-companies and side-stepping environmental regulations on trucks/cars.

Capitalism produces a lot of commodities or services or technologies that only really help companies squeeze a little more profit or compete with other firms producing essentially the same product. So from any normal person's standpoint or an abstract use-value standpoint all these things are just bullshit.

fuck u, coke is goodAfter the revolution we'll have the formula... mua-ha-ha-ha. We'll know that and how they make McDonalds french fries and so then people can decide weather it makes sense to keep producing these things or not.

I think people will probably decide to keep both, but they will become more of a dessert or treat rather than every-day staples. They are staples now mostly because sugary suryp and little dehydrated french fry seeds are cheaper to make and distribute than a fully mixed liquid drink or real potatoes.

They are actually pretty nice if you're trying to quit. I used one once, but it was a cheap one and the nicotine cartridge popped in my mouth. I still smoke a pack a day :/
