Let me get this straight...a homeless crackhead comes up with an idea and designs the world's most comfortable pillow making millions.

If he can do it whats stopping our weaponized autism in coming up with a good idea so we can escape the wagey cagey and be living the NEET life with our collection of classic shit boxes and the best workshop money can buy?

>> No.1706446

we live in a society where we have gone to the moon and send computers far beyond
everything is already invented and most likely already patented
one homeless soul hitting the lucky jackpot one day does not mean we all can spontaneously come to the same outcome.
It requires the right person having the right resources at the right time.

It's easy for a homeless crackhead, nothing but free time for activities. Me I got to go to work, commute, household chores, shower, cook and eat, he ain't got none of these responsibilities.

Plus, its a fucking pillow let's be honest, nobody really cares about how comfy a pillow is. Comfortable enough to sleep on? Yes? Ok good enough YOU WONT CARE BECAUSE YOU ARE SLEEPING YOU RETARDED CUNT FUCK.

From what I've read what he invented was simply a pillow, and it pretty much sucked. Then what he did was lie a lot, and sell them at a high price, then never answer the phone on the complaint line. The infomercial was of course full of liars, but idiots up at 4:00 am are either stupid enough, or stoned enough, that they don't notice the bullshit.

Wait till you're over 35, you'll start to care more about things like pillows and mattresses. When I was 18 I'd sleep on rocks and not give a shit. Now pushing 50? Yeah, I'll pay for a decent pillow.

They're nice pillows. I have two and like them. What's nice is that if it goes flat, you just put it in the dryer.

The thing about spergs, is that we're inherently arrogant, we think our idea is the best idea, we're unwilling to compromise, and we definitely think that we're supposed to be the one in charge, usually to the point of sabotaging anyone that tries to tell us what to do.

Any significant project is going to require a team effort, and spergs just aren't team players.

There are some very profitable businesses that just sell waste products. Just look at natural gas companies. They charge to haul away your yard waste, bury it and let it ferment, then capture the fumes and sell it back to you as fuel. Juices, jams and sauces are all typically made from damaged and ugly fruit that would otherwise just be composted anyway. Or fertilizer companies, selling actual waste.

What's the best thing about being a fertilizer manufacturer?
Shit's money.

Who ever said you couldnt wash down? You throw them in the washing machine.

Regardless, you should rarely if ever need to wash any pillow.
There is a reason you put pillow protector on your pillows, and then put a pillow cover on it.

Are you really paying a faggot methhead 60$ for a pillow, and then trashing it in the washing machine instead of using clean bedding like a normal person?

No, he designed a memory foam pillow that is just like every other memory foam pillow on the planet. He just marketed it correctly. Look at how many tards in this thread admitted to buying an As Seen On TV pillow for a stupidly high price.

There are rubes out there willing to line your pockets, you just have to market it right.

you have no clue how much fucking money i have spent on trying different pillows over the last 3 decades and how many good and bad pillows i have gone through over the years trying to find a good one that lasts

the mypillows i have had for going on almost a year now, are for me some of the best pillows I've found in a long time.
the ones i bought have just the right amount of softness, flexibility, support, and breathability. and once a week, when they seem to be going flat all it takes is fluffing them by hand for like two seconds and they're good as new again.
not saying they're the best. but for me, theyre the best I've found lately and ive been through alot of pillows.
only rarely ever actually find a good on

I bought a Serta one several years before My Pillow even existed. They feel almost exactly the same. The only difference is I paid more than double for the My Pillow.
