I think itās just to make sure people donāt vote twice.
At this point, Musk has all your personal information. What else is there to lose?

You know, there didnāt used to be such a rift between Minnesota and Wisconsin beyond the American hand-egg teams and the acceptable number of pubs in a small town. I blame Reagan.

There is a version where it gets better. But seemed like, while not directly related, it fit with @Millie_Fink 's post.

A YouTuber on a video I watched recently commented how Blendtec got bought out by another company. Not surprising but def when I think about Will It Blend it gives me nostalgia.

Graphic design is my passion, part one million:
Oh, itās my favorite shop, āAna Anus. Er, Anima Anus? Uh, Animal Anus? Oh, Animal Anius!ā

Good god, that logo needs to be in one of those ātop ten worst designsā lists. Maybe even in first place. I literally could not guess what it was supposed to say.

Yeah, I couldnāt get it without help. Thereās just so many things working against legibility here. The animals-as-letters arenāt of consistent shape or readability (the toucan isnāt very readable as an āiā but itās also wider than the fish thatās supposed to be a ād,ā making the fish read better as āiā; the dog as āmā is huge and not a very good ām,ā and the cat brings into question all the other letters because itās so much more readable as an āLā than anything else is). Kerning is, well, basically ignored, which isnāt helped by the inconsistent logic of the design. They destroy the possibility of internal logic right off the bat by having two legible letters between an animal shape that youāre supposed to ignore, which also creates a huge gap between the letters, and then itās followed by animals-as-letters that overlap each other. After using huge animals for letters, the fish isnāt nearly big enough to read as a ādā and thereās not nearly enough space for the āan?usā to be read as two words - especially as, given the ārulesā established at the beginning of the sign (two letters forced apart by an animal shape to be ignored), it should be read as āanus.ā
On top of all that, it doesnāt help that the shop name doesnāt make sense. āAnimal and Usā? Animal, singular? What!? What animal? (It makes it sound like the animal is a metaphor - our animal nature, or something.) āAnimals and Usā isnāt necessarily a great name, but at least it makes some sort of sense. So youāve got to fight inconsistent visual logic, bad design and kerning, to try to decipher a name that isnāt at all obvious.

I really wanted to guess that this was faked as a joke, but no, hereās another angle. It seems to be in Mexico, if that helps?

I did wonder about the odd name with the (singular) Animal And Us, and if it was made by someone for whom English was a second language in a primarily English-speaking country, but it still seemed odd if the presumably English-speaking audience wasnāt constantly pointing out that it was easy to (mis)read as āanal anus.ā I guess that would explain that bit, anyways. (Though if the intended audience is speaking English as a second language - or not at all - the difficulty in parsing it becomes all the more baffling, as it would be even more difficult to make sense of.) The general graphic design disaster nature of it remains, of courseā¦
