@0x00 @nick @terryenglish thanks for incidentally reminding me about that one time Pepsi bought a bunch of the Soviet navy in exchange for syrup

> As a result in the spring of 1989, Pepsi and the Soviet Union signed a deal that will go down in history. Pepsi Co. came into ownership of 17 old Soviet submarines, a frigate, a cruiser, and a destroyer. This for a brief time meant that a company was in the top 10 rankings of the world as a military power, more specifically the 6th most powerful military power in 1989.

@ratkun The fact that Pepsi would want to purchase such things is extremely disturbing. By which I mean please Pepsi do not shell my house. @0x00 @nick

@terryenglish@social.librem.one @0x00@social.panthermodern.net @ratkun@pl.smuglo.li well, then you should probably order some from your local restaurant instead of relying on some massive entity sapping all the funds to fly to the moon and shit.

I get it tough, american chain pizza stores are apparently real bad.

@nick I know it's such a shame NASA is struggling for funds so these retarded companies can have their vanity projects. @0x00 @ratkun
