Gimmick Post Verification Status: DUBIOUS
The image in this post is a stock photo uploaded to various hosting sites by Africa Studio, a large stock photography studio.
A google search for "Blue Shell Spray Bottle" brings up several results, and it is inconclusive if the Annie Ozen Shell Spray Bottle that the gimmick blog linked is the one depicted. "BROXAN Seashell Spray Bottle 10.14oz" (Available at the link on BLUEOCO's website, BLUEOCO being the parent company of BROXAN) is close, however this bottle is much shorter and wider than the one in the stock photo. The Boring Brand (not to be confused with the Elon Musk-founded "The Boring Company") also offers a similar product, that being "Shell-Shaped Water Bottles." These bottles, in their product photo, may seem to feature a much more closely matching nozzle, however each bottle has a nearly identical nozzle, differing only in coloration.
Regardless, it's possible that the photographer who staged the photo swapped the nozzles.
This image may make it appear that the Annie Ozen bottle is far wider than the one in the photograph, however the slightly differing angles make it hard to tell for sure, and even then it's possible that not all bottles are manufactured to the exact same dimensions. The Boring Brand's bottle also isn't safe from scrutiny, as the bottle itself seems shorter, the shell design's pattern seems more concave, and the material appears as a lighter shade of blue - though these, too, could be a quirk in manufacturing. The coloration specifically could be different for multiple reasons, be that general manufacturing, the lighting of either photos, the different backgrounds, etc.
Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful in finding official information regarding this photo's origins. While I was able to source it to Africa Studio, the name of the photographer was not listed on any stock image distribution sites nor the studio's official website. I originally thought to contact the studio regarding the bottle, however after creating a LinkedIn account and finding the contact email for the oddly Ukrainian-based Africa Studio, I realized that that would have been fucking insane of me.
The only other noteworthy thing regarding this photo is that the specific distribution channel's watermark, 123RF, really threw me for a loop for a moment. 123RF, while a genuine and functional stock photo distribution platform, is a really poorly managed website. users on r/stockphotography reported extremely slow verification times, odd delays in payouts and photos being flagged as containing irrelevant captions at random. In addition, this website was recently in the news for a comically devastating data breach affecting 8.3 million users, with leaked information including:
- Full names.
- User names.
- IP addresses.
- Phone numbers.
- Email addresses.
- Password hashes.
- Facebook profile links.
- Addresses including postcodes.
- Date of account registration on 123RF.
- Location including Country, States, and cities.
That isn't relevant at all, but like, damn.
the commodification of friendship is the most annoying thing to come out of the internet in ages. like actually i love to break this to you but you're supposed to help your friends move even if it's hard work. or stay up with them when they're sad even if you're gonna lose sleep. you're supposed to listen to their fears and sorrows even if it means your own mind takes on a little bit of that weight. that's how you know that you care. they will drive you to the airport and then you will make them soup when they're sick. you're supposed to make small sacrifices for them and they are supposed to do that for you. and there's actually gonna be rough patches for both of you where the balance will be uneven and you will still be friends and it will not be unhealthy and they will not be abusive. life is not meant to be an endless prioritization of our own comfort if it was we would literally never get anywhere ever. jesus.

We should talk more about what a dick move it is to name horror movie villains regular-ass people names.
Michael Meyers? Dick move. How many thousands of Mr. Michael Meyers are out there every day meeting people going "Ope! Haha Michael Meyers! Oh just don't kill me! Haha." Shut up. Meyers et al should kill you, and John Carpenter for causing this.
You know who did this right? Thomas Harris. Named his villain just the right inconceivable combination of sounds. I don't think there are any fucking Hannibal Lecters out there uncomfortably laughing off cannibal jokes in a job interview. And if there are, then I think they've got bigger problems coming from parents willing to name a squishy little baby Hannibal Fucking Lecter.
ALT"Hannibal Fucking Lecter, you were named after the best chance at achieving internet privacy in the digital age because all attempts to search for you will be buried beneath three decades worth of horror movie discourse and an unspeakable amount of Hannigram porn."

i know the 'is mcdonalds a date' questions making its rounds but i feel kind of insane bc thats never even been a metric for me. a date is just when someone says its a date. i went on a date w someone to smoke in a building w a caved in cieling in the rain, shoplifted from a gas station paranoid as hell to get them a soft pretzel and then we chased a rat around. where is your sense of adventure people
also ill be honest now in a relationship w my bf for almost four years and living together for two... the person whos gonna stick w u is the one that even a mcdonalds date sounds fun with. theyre the person whos gonna understand when youre tired from work and just want to watch a movie together. or understands when u cant do something grandiose and just wants to be with you.
if you cant learn to like the person you're with and not the expectation youve built in your mind for who they SHOULD be, you'll never love like that. you'll miss the person right in front of you, and thats the saddest thing of all.
Robot characters who are given names like SL-308-62 but instead of their human friend going Well let's call you Sally for short, they instead ask the other if they Like their current name.
"Do you like your serial number?" they ask. "Yes, quite. It reminds me of who I am" the robot replies. "I have heard others like me go by different names after some time, and maybe one day I'll choose one for myself, too. But right now that is my full name, yes" they continue.
Because it's not your decision to make whether or not the robot will receive a new name. It should be theirs only. What's the difference? One is more complex and the other is simplified. They were both given by strangers instead of themselves.
"62 will do," they conclude. "It's my model number - there will be no other 62 after me."
Robots who instead start assigning numbers to their human friends
“Not that I mind,” I tell SL-308-62 one afternoon as we enjoy our shared lunch break (I have my packed lunch, and 62 has connected themself to their portable power bank) “but why do your call me ‘four’?”
The LEDs along 62’s appendages twinkle- a tell that they’re mulling over an answer.
“It’s a nickname,” they explain, “you are my fourth acquaintance aboard the station, and I’ve assigned you a serial number. Your full designation is F-001-04.”
“What does the ‘F’ stand for?” I ask, curious and charmed.
“Friend,” SL-308-62 says, their tone fond. “It stands for friend.”
