TimeSquirrelHey. Hey buddy. Want a keyboard or guitar? How about a jetski?
craftyindividualHold up before you place the order!
I need train carriages, a supercomputer, radiotherapy equipment, nuclear power plant, aircon, self propelled artillery and an escalator. Don’t ask me why.
Fine, oh and add that CPU from the Dreamcast
I also need a 3.5" harddrive and a push lawnmower
And it’s the lawnmower that surprised me here!
Still got room for an electric screwdriver, a hand drill and an orbital sander?
Me: I need a trumpet, a xylophone, full drum kit, an electric guitar, a full PA system and a grand piano for my jazz show
Yamaha: I got you
Me: I also need a motorcycle to get there and a set of golf clubs for Sunday
Yamaha: I gotchu there too
I love how these logos often still reflect the initial small scale business, a Yamaha motorbike still features a trio of tuning forks for music. A Mitsubishi… anything… has the three propellor blades of a Zero fighter plane. I made that second one up but apparently it’s three Oak Leaves or Water Caltrops, a simple and enduring symbol.
I was going to point out the BMW Propeller but apparently it’s a myth from 1929 and now my day is ruined.
Well, at least we are partners in 20th century logo disappointment.
They did make engines for planes though right? bavarian motor works.
Yeah but that’s not the origin of the logo, which is just the stylized coat of arms of Bavaria. Then in 1929, 12 years after creating the logo, they ran an add that showed it over a propeller, and never really did anything to dispel the myth that that is the origin of the logo, since it’s a much better story than “IDK we’re bavarian I suppose”.
Plot twist: Mitsubishi is secretly controlled by the Bavarians
Mitsubishi literally means “three diamonds”
Me: I want to play games until I get fat
Konami: yo, there you go
Me: damn, that was a bad idea, I need to go work out in a gym
Konami: I’m way ahead of you

Bally: What if we offered the same thing, but also with casinos and crappy sports channels?
you can lose weight AND money in the same day, what a deal! ~/s~
Me: I will also need a motor for my boat
Yamaha: anything else?
YourFavouriteNPCMe: An ATV for the beach, a Snow Mobile for the winter and a Jet-Ski just because they’re fun.
Yamaha: Of course!
Me: Oh, and you wouldn’t know where I could find a DVD player?
You forgot digital mixer, SMT assembly systems and gas generators
I saw a Samsung excavator the other day
Samsung also makes military vehicles.
And they built the Burj Khalifa!
Samsung excavator = Volvo excavator. Samsung is just relabeling the Volvos.
ITT: people who are surprised large manufacturers manufacture lots of things.
East-Asian megacorps are kind of on a different scale if you’re not used to it though
There’s a reason that popular Cyberpunk looked to Japan for inspiration when it comes to end stage capitalism in a digitally connected world.
The assumption was that these Japanese style megacorps would segregate and dominate the internet, in the way we’ve mostly seen tech-bro startups manage.
Honestly I prefer the cruel indifference of the Cyberpunk musings on megacorp dystopia than what we’ve got.
They also do the vocals! Smh how could you forget Hatsune Miku?
Don’t forget the jet ski saxophone and clarinet recital. Then there’s the Lexus LFA
kudzuSamsung though: phones, tanks, healthcare equipment
don’t forget the shitty refrigerators
Their TVs were fire the last time I checked
CalcProgrammer1So was the Note 7
They are. That’s all we buy for TVs. Monitors are great too. Have super fancy ones at work. Not that I go to the office much, because that place sucks.
I got an LG last time, never again, WebOS is trash and there is no way to flash anything else on it. I’m kinda over smart tvs all around, but if I have to get one it will never run that shit again.
I really wanted to like things like WebOS and Firefox OS, but here we are. Just never panned out.
RivenMy next TV is gonna be a projector. I only ever use it at night for movie/shows occasionally. I don’t really need a TV, my pc is what I’m using most days.
Samsung is scum. They are cheating on tests.
Won’t argue with that. But I do like my Samsung devices. Won’t vouch for their (or any company, really) ethics tho.
My Samsung fridge has been fantastic over the past 10 years but for one thing. The control panel is borked so I can’t actually change any settings lol. But as it stands, doing a solid job.
yeah they are okay when they work but repairs are more difficult to do than other manufacturers, and parts are hard to come by
ARCTIC SHUTTLE - Oil tanker cargo ship by SAMSUNG HEAVY INDUSTRIES | NauticExpo
In 2007, SHI built a 70,000-ton, bi-directional Arctic shuttle tanker, which was the first ever of its kind. In 2014, the company successfully obtained orders for 6 additional ice-breaking oil tankers from European shipping companies. The tankers are designed to break ice measuring up to 1.4 met...
OwlAnd autonomous killer robots
🇺🇸 : So they can autonomously democratize some of the oil trapped in the Middle East and then bring it back home, too? 🇺🇸
Samsung is South Korean
Also 20% of South Koreas economy
They also make some fantastic solid surface counter tops that are pretty nice budget replacements for higher end stone counters.
So random.
Large (if not the largest) cargo ship maker, apartment builder, and used to make cars.
Also top tier SSD
I gotchu fam
Also VCRs and TVs in the 90s.
Ok, now can you replace the motor in the personal massager with…
I’ve just got really deep knots.
Cthulhu has awoken and demands release.
H2207Calm down
How? It’s a picture of a massager and a dump truck.
