Kmart has just given up
@drunkenmadman now only describing myself as a person shaped object
@drunkenmadman I prefer my objects unshaped.
@drunkenmadman You didn't go to the book department, did you? Their best seller is:
"Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning."
@ausgroucho And just like that, you get a follow! I always appreciate a HHGTTG reference 😂 @drunkenmadman
@drunkenmadman They’ve figured out how to market off cuts. Peak capitalism.

@drunkenmadman sounds like a mathematician joke
@drunkenmadman K-mart? Haven’t seen one in years. Gone the way of Ames, Bradlees, Woolworths, Service Merchandise, Toys r Us, Radio Shack.
@drunkenmadman what’s this supposed to be? What does it do?
@arnandegans it is a pair of objects and I think its purpose is to just… exist?
@drunkenmadman these are certainly the objects of all time
@drunkenmadman It also looks like they're made of materials! Though the box does not seem to mention this.
@drunkenmadman And here I was, thinking there were no more K-Mart stores. Didn't realize they hadn't completely folded yet.
@yestergearpc this is Australia. K-Mart is ubiquitous.
@drunkenmadman Well that makes sense. I never realized it was a completely different company in AU than US.
@drunkenmadman
I think I saw similar scene in the movie "THX 1138"
@drunkenmadman I’m getting pretty strong THX 1138 vibes from this.
@drunkenmadman
you traveled back in time to a K-mart?
@warisill still very much a thing here in Australia.

@drunkenmadman

you must have strict bankruptcy laws there

@warisill iirc, the trademark etc are wholly owned by Wesfarmers group here. It’s not a subsidiary.
@drunkenmadman But those objects aren't shaped like '2' at all!

@klp @drunkenmadman

If you can't place those objects so they are in the shape of a 2, then I think you may need to repeat ... all the grades.

@drunkenmadman “Product may vary from image shown” 😆
@drunkenmadman [looks up from playing with my unshaped objects] You mean there's a better way??

@drunkenmadman for a moment I thought that this would have been a showcase of something from one of the last US based Kmart but then I saw it wasn't lol

Glad that Kmart AU separated from US cuz US management and owners pretty much killed off the brand

@drunkenmadman What's worse is they aren't even 2-shaped.
@shriramk @drunkenmadman Is that... is that an office ceiling tile?
@drunkenmadman Kmart is still alive? 😲
@LyraChang in Australia, yes. Separate company.
@drunkenmadman your patience in explaining to Americans there are other countries is incredible.
