When this slop first starting appearing, I laughed uproariously. If I was in my 20s, I would have put money down for that horse t-shirt because goddamn what a fantastic train wreck.
Nowadays, I kindly request that it all be burnt down.
Even if that means we have to start again.

I have updated my auction-processing program to work with an auctionary house’s new api (the old api is being deprecated at the end of the year). They also recently made a change in the quality of matches given for your search strings. This is day two of production with the new api, and I was greeted by this collage of “vintage german hand blown rocker glass doll eyes brown” though my search term in this case consisted of -none- of these words.
My search term included “chocolate.” “Chocolate” is close to “brown,” sayeth the algorithm. Here are two dozen scary doll eyes on stalks. I could have given you actual matching guesses, I just thought maybe you would like the disembodied eye pairs more.
I don’t know why anyone would find this sort of awful seemingly-random guesswork to be helpful in any manner whatsoever.
