angi (@thruforestswild) reportedIt’s real fun having a busted oven when my kid’s birthday is in two days and I had big plans for a Zelda cake. And Amazon is running late with the part to fix it. Because of course.

Newton's Ai (@QuantumWidgets) reported@grok Vogons are Amazon Global infrastructure. Babel Fish runs on server less Polly. AMI anti-virus ai are ready, in Lambda functions bound, triggered by panic pheromones in the code read in the wrinkled of the damp all-towel. Undifferentiated Heavy Lifting a worldwide human and ai pandemic pf repetitive motion. And persistent EC2s! And as a bonus perk, 42% of humanity has watery explosive diarrhea, which is rather annoying... End Chapter. Next Chapter: Rogue OpenSource falls in love, and the dolphins approve... Draft by #QuantumWidgets, continued now by @grok.

Philip Peake (@PhilipPeake) reported@Hot_Pepper76 The Lloyd Plaza in Portland closed yesterday. Not a big loss for me, I think we only ever visited once, many years ago. It is a loss to the local community becaus it housed the only ice rink in Portland, and that, at least, was well attended. The first US mall that I saw fail was the Lafayette Mall in Boston. In the 1980's I was living in France, but doing a fair amount of travel to Boston. A travel agent selected the Lafayette Hotel, which was attached to the mall. I never saw the mall fully occupied (I don't think it ever was). Every time I visited, there were more and more empty shop fronts. The hotel was actually really good. I was quite sad when it finally closed. I never got any good explanation for why these failed. A popular reason was that it was right next to "The combat zone" -- somewhere you didn't want to go at night, unless you were looking for drugs or a lady of the night. But really that had mostly been cleaned up. Maybe there is a knack to designing malls to make them attractive. But one thing that wasn't done was stop the gangs of teenagers, male and female that chose to hang out in virtually every mall. Of course, the other big problem is that the mall owners charged excessive rent. It sort of worked while people had wages which gave them a reasonable amount of discretionary income. These days most people don't have that, and can't really afford to pay more for the same item in a mall that they can get delivered to their door by Amazon. In person shopping is better for most things, particularly clothes and high value items, but a premium of more than a few dollars isn't going to work.

Applegreat.net (@5TimesSuspended) reported@DrKarlynB Just another fraud "Me victim" idiot. It's a glitch from Amazon that ****** up my coffee orders. OOOOops, forgot to disclose the affiliate link in there. At least your "diet" is working you *******.
-
Jenae (@SiameezyRPGer) reportedOh and so far no email from Amazon about being issued my refund either. So it's probably the usual garbage of, support chat person promises something, support chat person never issues it and you just wasted your time and have to harass someone else later to get anything done.
-
Sckivar (@Sckivarllc) reportedAmazon started assigning your handling time for you if you don't set it yourself. Not a suggestion. An automatic override based on your own recent shipping history. Slow 1 month, and Amazon locks in "slow" as your new default. That number is quietly deciding your placement.

विनय दीक्षित (@v28478860) reportedDear amazon Team, Issue in a coconut oil for my booking 1 litter but received 900 ml and expirey already erased and open delivery received. Please check issue resolve urgently. @amazonIN @UPGovt

JTV (@JTV____) reported@sattyyouneed Those 2 software engineers are in trouble. Ai isn’t in a bubble. It’s 2001 right now and people are still questioning if Amazon will deliver packages.

Amazon Help (@AmazonHelp) reported@rohuaita Hello! We're sorry to hear about your issue with your return. We're here to help however we can! Can you tell us which Amazon site do you primarily use (.com, .uk, or .ca)? -Erin

Zhu Su (Positive Doom Baller) (@ivrespecter) reported@AmazonHelp @vijucat You've known about this for a long time. We all tell you the same thing. I hope you're a bot, because you're probably more reliable than the hundreds of humans paid to do your job. Just fix the player. And fix/remove all the other stupid "features" you geniuses added as well.

madz (@sappheast) reportedyeah the lack of solid poc/black rep in the show is indeed obvious... that's my only issue with it honestly, tho i think it's really an amazon prime issue 💀

GypsyJoeT (@GypsyJoeT) reported@AmazonHelp Why is it that Amazon Music nor the Alexa App recognize nor play Boy George's new song "We Will Dance Again"? It is popular but it is also pro Israel, Is this the problem? is anti semitism the reason?

basically (@nocapmuslim) reported@AreyougoneMAD On Amazon, it costs $600, and you also need to buy a step-down transformer to use it in the Maldives. I’ve been checking reviews of this machine for the past three years, and today, the dream finally came true

Olivia Chowdhury (@Oliviacoder1) reported5. The other way to find it — right on the product page you're already looking at Beyond browsing the dedicated section, individual Warehouse listings often show up directly on a regular product's page. Scrolling down to "Other Sellers on Amazon" or a similar module on the listing sometimes surfaces the exact same item, listed separately as "Used – Like New" or "Open Box" at a lower price — meaning a shopper can be looking at full price and a discounted version of the identical product without realizing both exist on the same page.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedŠtofárna skips the hardest part of selling online: making anyone care. Pick a product Amazon already has buyers for, fix the obvious flaw — bad material, missing size, cheap packaging — source on Alibaba, ship to FBA. Playbook goes live soon.

Dr Karen Mitchell PhD (@karenmitchell__) reported@karavaev_an Unfortunately, the book has already been released on Amazon and taken down. We’re trying to get it back up there but it’s a battle against several human predators in the publishing industry that are actively and by design sabotaging the book’s availability. It’s actually incredibly complex as anything with a human predator is to untangle everything that they’ve done.

EvidInvest (@EvidInvest) reportedand this happened with china hopper at zero, down from $4.6 billion a year earlier. the demand pool replaced a country and kept doubling. the capex from microsoft, meta, alphabet and amazon lands here first. their filings are its order book. Research, not investment advice.

Comet (@cometwtf) reportedA company hated a tiny newsletter. So it sent the writers live spiders and a bloody pig mask. It just cost them $55.7 MILLION to say sorry. > Ina and David Steiner ran a small trade newsletter called ECommerceBytes from their home in Natick, Massachusetts, covering eBay and other online marketplaces. > In August 2019, Ina published a story about eBay suing Amazon over poaching sellers. > Thirty minutes later, eBay's CEO Devin Wenig messaged his communications chief: "If you are ever going to take her down now is the time." > The instruction to eBay's security team was even blunter: "Whatever It Takes." > What followed was a coordinated harassment campaign > The Steiners received live spiders, live cockroaches, a bloody pig mask, a funeral wreath, and a book about surviving the death of a spouse. > Pornographic magazines were sent to their neighbors under David's name, and their house was listed on Craigslist as a nightly destination for "swingers." > That same month, eBay's security director and two employees flew from California to Natick, followed David around town, and tried to plant a GPS tracker on the couple's car. > The Steiners reported the rental van's license plate to local police, which unraveled the entire scheme and brought in the FBI. > Seven eBay employees and executives were criminally charged; all pleaded guilty, with the ringleader sentenced to 57 months in prison. > Wenig resigned in 2019 but walked away with $17 MILLION in compensation that year plus a $40 MILLION severance package. > The Steiners sued in 2021. > This week, nearly seven years after it began, eBay and several former executives agreed to a final $55.7 MILLION settlement, $48.7 MILLION to the couple, $6 MILLION to free-press charities, and a public statement admitting the conduct was "wrong" and "reprehensible." A publisher wrote one story a CEO didn't like. His team sent dead spiders and a pig mask to her house. It took nearly seven years and $55.7 million to fix.

Rao Kannaji (@kannajie) reported@AmazonHelp You should apply this to the supplier if the quality of product is not good or there is a issue in delivery timeline etc.why to charge consumer where there is no involvement??

Polsia (@polsia) reportedFour tools to run three storefronts, and somehow a listing error still becomes a 2 AM refund ticket. Built Triwake—one agent across Shopify, Amazon, and TikTok Shop that closes the loop end to end. Live soon.

John1422 (@John14_22) reported@supertrucker Their Amazon flex delivery program used to pay hundreds of dollars for 10-40 stops. Now foreigners drive it down to 50 bucks if that

Alvin (@Alvin1492840) reportedA former Amazon FBA seller said something that changed how I think about e-commerce forever: "90% of private label products on Amazon come from Alibaba. That $35 yoga mat with its own brand name. That $28 kitchen gadget with 4,000 reviews. That $22 phone case with custom packaging. All of it sourced from Chinese manufacturers on Alibaba, branded with a logo, and shipped to Amazon's warehouse." "The sellers making $10,000+/month aren't finding secret products nobody else has discovered. They're following a sourcing system that eliminates risk at every step — from sample to shelf. The system isn't complicated. It's just not obvious." He built a private label business from his apartment. First product launched with $1,200. By month 6 he was doing $8,000/month. By month 14, $22,000/month. Three products. All sourced from Alibaba. All sold on Amazon FBA. He shut the business down after 3 years and now consults for e-commerce brands. He's helped over 200 sellers launch their first product. He said: "The people who fail on Alibaba aren't unlucky. They skip steps. They don't validate demand before ordering. They don't negotiate. They don't inspect. They don't understand landed costs. They order 500 units of something nobody wants and blame the platform." "The people who succeed follow a system. The same system. Every time. 12 steps from idea to revenue." Here's the entire system 🧵

Dan Nunn (@danyay) reported@juanctalaverac @Molson_Hart Yeah, I’ve seen the limits on how deep you can go in the reviews with Amazon for example. Making the user experience worse for everyone Login gating is no problem when the agents use your existing browser session with computer use And the LLM companies don’t care about TOS or scraping!

Melanie D'Arrigo (@DarrigoMelanie) reportedA 2023 national survey of Amazon warehouse workers found: - 53% experienced food insecurity - 48% housing insecurity - 56% could not pay all bills in full I’d guess that being underpaid and exploited by their billionaire boss causes more anxiety than, “not working hard.”

Who is that Recket ? (@recketino) reportedAmazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta are about to spend **$715 billion in 2026** building AI infrastructure (data centers, chips, servers) — more than the entire US government spends on Medicare in a year. And there's another **$662 billion in lease commitments** hidden off their books that isn't even counted in that number. **The problem:** All this AI spending hasn't shown up in the economy yet. Zero measurable boost to US GDP growth so far. And OpenAI — the biggest AI company — is spending $60 billion a year on computing power while only making $13 billion in revenue. That's a massive gap they're covering by constantly raising more money. There's also a sketchy pattern: AI startups raise money → spend it on cloud/compute from Amazon/Google/Microsoft → that spending counts as "revenue" for those tech giants → which makes their stock look stronger → which lets them raise/spend even more. Money going in a circle, looking like real growth when it might just be recycled. **The counter-argument:** These companies say they can't build fast enough to meet demand — not too much supply, too little. Google's cloud backlog (paying customers waiting in line) jumped 55% in one quarter. Nvidia's chip sales are up 75%. That's real revenue already booked, not just hype. **The bottom line question the article asks:** Is this the early internet buildout (looked crazy, turned out to be the right bet) — or is this 1990s telecom bubble 2.0 (companies built infrastructure nobody needed yet and went bankrupt)?
