    It has a 4.8 Star review. Kinda weird. The verbiage in the photos in the description are glowing and "normal." Someone must have posted a question about the description because when I searched on "funny," this came up:

    AMazon answer.jpg

    Note the "Rufus is learning. How did he do?" at the bottom.

    Their store has spoons and melon ballers. but not the cutting boards. All of those product descriptions are normal. Perhaps they live in a state where pot is legal.

    ps: Why the tiny url?

    eta: Rufus is Amazon's AI thing.

    I had already asked "Rufus" if the description was a joke. I freakin' HATE AI. And the tiny url because the Amazon direct url was a couple of paragraphs long for some reason.

    Since Bezos stepped aside, the Big A is circling the drain. Chinese junk, poor delivery service, etc., etc.

    My big complaint is that they sometimes merge reviews for a bunch of different stuff the seller offers, so you have no idea what folks thought of the product. Sometimes you read the reviews and they make absolutely zero sense for that product.
