Her 4y/o apparently stumped a “multi trillion dollar corporation” yesterday even though she lost custody over him 2 months ago and he lives in a different country now… pure insane fantasy….

Honestly I think my favorite part is how the multi-trillion dollar corporation then deleted its website and disconnected its entire business OVERNIGHT because of a four year old

Yeah that was the least believable part. Is there even a single trillion dollar company on earth? I am pretty sure Apple hit the trillion dollar mark but I don't think they hit two trillion.

I am pretty sure Apple hit the trillion dollar mark but I don't think they hit two trillion.

They have, as has Microsoft. Saudi Aramco (oil) is also over two trillion and Google, Amazon, and Nvidia are over one trillion.

Maybe the kid was opening childproof oil barrel prototypes!

And as we know, Saudi Aramco and Amazon shut down overnight. RIP the Saudi economy and also half of the internet, I guess, thanks to this 4 year old.

Good to know it's just because Amazon shuttered after testing a toddler.

Even if this was real (it's not), the tester literally would not care. The parameters of the test weren't "see if anyone near a child could open the product for them," it was "can chubby child hands open this product." Some people's fantasies.

[deleted]

3 years ago

Yeah this idea is fucking bizarre. A 4 year old could probably open the container if they had a hammer or a flamethrower, too, but the cap is “child proof,” not “hammer proof,” “flamethrower proof,” or “adult proof.”

The person also seems confused as to why market testing or any of that exists. Researchers don’t invite people to try their products to feel a sense of superiority over 4 year olds, they do it to see if the product works or is received as intended. These people are constantly focusing their lives around proving to those people they’re not dumb that they don’t have time to consider that those people aren’t doing the same thing.

And even if chubby child hands can open it, a negative result is still a result, just one prompting further R&D. Nobody would get beet red, disconnect phones, shut down websites, etc. It would be, "Well, that didn't work. Let's go back to the drawing board and do some redesigns."

And even with the idea of "tricking them into showing them how it's done"

That's still fine. That's how the containers are supposed to be used. You think you're supposed to only open a childproof anything in secret? Kids will see it, they just can't figure out how to do it yet. And if they can, they probably know not to chug a bottle of bleach.

My favorite simple childproof product was like a little flexible bag that went over the door knob. You had to squeeze it from front and back to get the knob to turn. And then you had to hold it and push the door open. Which kids just can't do, mostly their fingers aren't long enough to get a good grip, but the idea of pulling with the fingers and pushing with the arm just isn't there yet for them

Over the years, I’ve come to realize that a very large portion of the conservative voting bloc have a worldview that can best be described as “constant competition”. Like, they are incapable of the idea of working together or doing something altruistically. The only goal of any action is to be in a better position than the people around them.

She sounds like one of these people. The idea that a product safety test would be to find out whether the product is safe is incomprehensible to them. The only reason a company would do a product safety test, in their mind, is to stick it to whoever is taking the test and prove that they are smarter than the test taker.

You’ve worked with these people. They are the combative backstabbers that blindside you by throwing you under the bus when there was absolutely no reason to. It’s because you were thinking “I’m going to work with this person to accomplish this goal”, and they were thinking “We’re in a battle and I’m going to win it”.

Then, you realize, these people don’t vote for Democrats because when Democrats lay out a plan to work together to make everyone benefit, they think one of two things. Either “This is a trick. They are trying to make me complacent so that they can double cross me” or “They are lazy. They are just saying that so they don’t have to actually do anything.”

And they vote for Republicans, because the Republican Party views government the same way. Privatize everything so that competition decides what happens, no one gets anything for free because they should be competing against everyone around them, if you are poor, you deserve to be poor because you just aren’t competing hard enough, etc. It’s also why Donald “tired of winning” Trump became their cult leader, because he is the embodiment of “Do whatever it takes to beat people”.

But yeah, this is fake, and it’s just imagination porn for someone who thinks like that.

I worked in marketing research for a while. We actually did tests on safety caps and see how easy it was for people of assorted ages to open them. The manufacturers don’t care that some kids can open some of the containers. They expect that to be the case. What they care about is how hard it was for a child compared to how hard it was for an adult. The design intent is to find something most kids can’t open easily while most adults can.

That’s my long way of saying that lady is full of shit.

First of all, we all know this never happened, however, if this did happen, all the boy did was prove that the company was doing its job. One purpose of having childproof containers is so that adults have to open them and regulate how much of what is inside is given to children. So by forcing an adult to open it for him, Jared only proved that the company accomplished their goal. Also worth noting, usually when to do surveys / trials the company is never revealed to you to avoid bias. So she would have no idea what the company was let alone what it was worth. But really, why do people tell blatantly made up stories and think anyone believes it?

61

Yep. If she had any phone number or website at all, it likely would've been for the testing agency, not for the company that contracted with them for the product testing, and even more, it likely would've only been associated with this particular study. So even if this actually happened, it would be somewhat expected, as the phone number would've been turned to "unmonitored" once the study was over.
