Lucky for you, the human body comes with a magnetic card reader and a place to stick the new chip cards.

It's ... eerily familiar. And a shame, too, because he was genuinely funny back in the day.
Ok, this one I don't quite understand...
I got the robocall from "my credit card company" and pressed 1.
"Thank you for responding, how are you today?"
Me: "Very good, thank you"
"Fuck you." *click*
I mean yes, that's how I expected the call to *eventually* end, but normally that doesn't happen until after they become aware that I'm deliberately wasting their time.
Does every scammer in India recognize my voice now?

Yes
The reason I suspect this is because I've now been called by "Hilton/Marriott" five or six different times, and when I press 5 to get my free cruise (funny, I thought Hilton and Marriott were two different companies, and they had hotels) the next thing I hear is Allison Smith (the voice of Asterisk) saying "The number you have dialed is not in service. Goodbye." And that makes me suspect that these particular scammers are just seeing my number and dropping the call, instead of answering the phone and then requesting a bedroom encounter with my sister.
Either that or their predictive dialer is really really bad, and has been making calls faster than they can answer them for several weeks now. But I'd rather believe that they know me.
I am to the point I don't trust Amazon anymore. Too many questionable sellers. It is worth it to pay a little more for piece of mind know it isn't a counterfeit or tampered product.
WalmartDOTcom has a lot of third party sellers as well.
Walmart owns Vudu I believe. Let's just say that the app is a bit more stable (on webOS at least) than Prime Video.

Similar here.
I often use Amazon to locate a seller that has a product, then contact the seller through a side channel if it seems reputable. I have found some small awesome online stores this way. Whatever I do, I don't buy from asian sellers that can't fill a proper item description for their product.

Mee tooo. A couple of months ago I decided to buy a replacement battery for my wireless headset through Amazon, because everything on eBay (my usual source) is cheap Chinese counterfeit crap. The battery arrived, and sure enough, it has a fraction of the running time of a genuine battery. More cheap Chinese counterfeit crap from Amazon as well.
I do hope we reach "peak Amazon" soon. I'm really tired of them existing.

I have notice a few really odd things as well. Today I saw an electric hair straightening brush that was approved by the FCC!
FCC APPROVED & PROFESSIONAL SERVICE & Auto Shut off design: Upgraded design with FCC approved for safety use & We provide 30-days return/replacement service. The AUTO Shut off design- The product will automatically shut off in 30 minutes if no use to ensure the safety use.
It doesn't have a Bluetooth feature, so I am unsure why it would be FCC approved. What sort of radio interference waves is this giving off?
The other bullet points are confusing as well, the FCC comment had me wondering.
As Dave Berry once said, "It looked as if it was translated from Japanese to English by someone who spoke neither Japanese or English."
Big red flag that you are buying a fake, a cheapo or some sort of knock off.
I am not ordering anything on-line at the moment, too many people handling the product and the package. I did look at Amazon to see how the prices are changing, what I noticed was that nothing will be delivered until May.
