Modern Times Pins and Buttons
Description: Hitting the save command just once is an act of reckless confidence that no modern computer user can afford. When a student finishes a paragraph or an employee updates a spreadsheet, an overwhelming sense of paranoia immediately takes over. Clicking on that tiny floppy disk icon a single time is never enough to fight off the deep, lingering fear of a sudden software crash or an unexpected power outage. Instead, the only real solution is to aggressively mash the save button five, six, or even ten times in rapid succession. It is a frantic, comforting method of digital survival. There is absolutely no logical reason why the tenth click is safer than the first, but it provides total peace of mind. It is the ultimate policy.

Description: This design says "Prove you're a human" in a somewhat menacing font. Are you a bit disturbed by all this AI stuff, and finding it a little concerning when some website comes at you with this phrase and makes you click a checkbox (which of course robots are incapable of doing)? This mug might be for you. Makes a great gift for any loved one in these post-modern late stage capitalist dystopian times.
