Tony's Chocolonely bars are shaped unevenly to represent farmer inequality and the coastline of Africa
(lemmy.world)
"It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 6.35 oz bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.
And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon."
There is absolutely no difference in price between the two - i.e. a "fancy" one like this and a regular one. Both will most likely be made by machining a block of graphite and using EDM to make the actual mold. The difference in machining time wouldn't cost more than $200 or so
Wow, techno music is so versatile.
Do you also find it hilarious to use the word techno whenever somebody mentions EDM?
One time this dude who is maybe a little autistic, possibly very autistic, made this super detailed post about all the different genres of electronic dance music. If you know anything about it, you know there's some hyper-specific sub genres out there, and this dude took the time to not only list them all out, but verbally describe what made a piece of music fit into one genre versus all the others.
Obviously I replied with something like "Man, I love techno."
To be honest, this is the first time I've had the opportunity to do so.
What does techno music have to do with cutting metal with wire?
