    A satirical CBC Radio This Is That sketch profiling a Vancouver artisanal firewood company that sells bundles of kindling for $1000.

    HN uses it as a punchline reference when a product or trend seems like a parody of artisanal premium goods.

      I guess I'm a dork, but I'll never understand beer branding. The active ingredient is alcohol, a drug that induces various desirable effects. You wouldn't pay extra for artisanal aspirin or tylenol, so why alcohol? Reminds me of this: this video

    2. @082349872349872Dec 2024· in “Who can claim Aristotle?”

      trimming the ink sticks reminded me of nothing so much as this video ! > IRL the substrata (objective-C? PowerPC?) get cleaned out real artists ship, and shipping (like cherry blossoming) is ephemeral? 花の雲 鐘は上野か 浅草か

    3. @leoffJun 2022· in “Why championship chess sets are so expensive”

      At first I thought this was a parody like the Artisanal Firewood video ( this video ). It seems like a lot of this process could and should be automated to improve consistency and quality.

    4. @odysseusJul 2022· in “How I clean my glasses”

      I feel like this article lays the groundwork for a high quality artisanal eyeglass cleaning video. Reminds me just a touch of this video
