Clothing with brand names all over the place
SUPREME.
I don’t buy clothing with any kind of text on it. What most designer put on clothes is either so bland or just advertising.
Anything gilt in gold. Its a poor mans idea of wealth
Have you seen the new improved oval office?
Case in point
Fake nails.

Food with gold leaf. It doesn’t add to the taste, it doesn’t add to the look, but rich people and wannabe alike love it because it has gold and they have trash taste. If i went fine dining and see a gold leaf covered food, imma send it back because it’s aurum contaminated. And i said it as someone who won’t ever set foot in fine dining restaurant.
Why is it an objectively trashy: it’s a simplest way to appease those wealth chaser and showoff, yet it takes 0 effort to apply it and overcharging their food.
And gold leaf isn’t even that expensive
A single leaf is so thin, that is costs only a little over a buck. The tiny piece of gold on your fancy food? Only a couple cents
But you can bet your ass that you will pay way more than that
fine dining’s price is loosely coupled to the ingredient cost for everything but the most expensive ones
Gold leaf is cheap yes, but they are paying for ‘the experience’
Is it stupid? Yes
But not even close to the moderately stupid spectrum of human idiocy
Saw a thing about the world’s most expensive pizza ($2k+) the other night. Squid ink pizza dough, caviar, truffles, gold leaf, etc. It looked revolting.
Okay, squid ink pizza dough sounds intriguing.
A lot of people doesn’t realise that expensive ingredient doesn’t make the best food, it just make them look pretentious.
that was salt-baes thing, overpriced, overcooked food with a little gold.
and for some reason his forearm sweat…
people were willing to pay 1600 for his shitty gold flaked burnt steak.
wait till you figure out that some rich people like the fact it makes their shit gold flecked
Military parades
Especially for draft dodgers, imagine one of those would ask for a military parade for his birthday.
Trump.
Teslas
Giant fake gold chains lol

Most cars especially BMW, Cybertrucks, corvettes, cameros, Hummers. Chat gpt, caviar, phone ring tones, expensive weddings, store bought cakes/cupcakes, fake grass/colored rock landscaping, overpaying/over borrowing for higher education.
store bought cakes
All store bought cakes?
Yeah, they lost me there.
Hummers… I’ve rarely ever seen someone pull off the style you need to have to not look tacky.
I absolutely love my Audi but I can’t argue that it isn’t a pile of shit.
I’m still holding my judgement on caviar. I assume there’s a reason that it’s so popular, and not just because it’s expensive, which is to say that I think the people shelling out to eat it wouldn’t do so if it tasted like fish ass.
I used to work in the seafood industry and I got invited to a seafood expo once. There were tons of vendors and since I’m super poor and not fancy, i ate everything. Figured I’d never get another chance. I ate so much caviar and roe that day.
It’s fuckin’ nasty. Every species and preparation I tried. Tbf I was at an expo, not a nice resturant, but also tbf, it was an expo, they were trying to market their best products.
I’ve had it and while it’s good it’s often served with hard boiled eggs and crackers so it kinda tasted like those things. I would say it’s overrated.
have you ever driven a BMW? Not one of the SUVs but like a 3 series?
it’s considered something fancy for a reason, the cars are quality engineering and have a unique quality to the feeling of it’s drive
a unique quality to the feeling of it’s drive
I have to admit I’m skeptical, and not just because it sounds written by a marketing team.
Things like the subjective feeling of something are strongly socially determined. When we’re told something is fancy or high quality we have a different and better experience of that thing.
As humans it’s rarely possible to separate our experience of a thing from our judgements of the people and identities we associate with it.
I have had 2 BMW’s, both 3 series. The feel of the road is something very different from all the other cars I have driven.
That is why I asked if this person had ever driven one. Its one thing to judge it because others think its popular, its another thing to experience and have an opinion based on that.
their steering wheels have a special feel to it, rarely have I felt it on other cars. They say you should be able to feel rolling over two stacked coins. IDK about that but the way you can feel the little things in the road while also not feeling the full impact of a pothole or something is really a truth.
I have never spent more then $15k to acquire one, so I am not suggesting you have to spend big bucks to get into the seat of one. But if you have the chance to test drive one, you should take it. You might have a full on different opinion afterwards.
Both things can be true though, bmw does have marketing which will effect our impressions of driving one but at the same time there are objective differences in quality between a 3 series bmw and say a Honda Civic that you will definitely notice when driving one.
You can argue the beemer is overpriced and that marketing had an effect but that doesn’t eliminate the differences entirely.
I have driven a lot of cars (mostly rentals) and BMWs are quite nice. And in Germany they are considered middle class cars.
The shear overwhelming amount of times I’ve seen this exact question posted.
sheer
Full sets of matching cookware. Its almost always a bunch of display junk that never gets used. Buy your stuff as individual pieces, you’ll likely have nicer quality. This goes for pots, pans, knives, silverware, spatulas, damn near everything cooking related.
Personal opinion, all-clad is overrated. Their skillet/saucepan handles are shit and hurt to hold for longer cooking sessions.
Do you have a YouTube channel?
Lol. I ain’t good at content creation that I’m aware of Jack of all trades, master of like 2 at best.
J Kenji Alt Lopez and Alton Brown are pretty good for the more technical side of things tho
Maralago
flashy, gaudy gold, or diamond encrusted rooms by rich people.
Luxury clothes bags jewellery etc. Old money will walk down the street and look like just some average guy.
