Domain name was cheap.

Everyone in tech knows you find a domain name first, then decide what kind of business to build around it.

Prolapse tech is blowing up and out the door. The back door.

That prolapse joke was a stretch.

You wouldn't get it .... it's an inside joke

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 46 pts · 1y

It's supposed to be, anyway.

Reminds me of the old website for Microsoft Exchange support... expertsexchange.com

Eventually they hyphenated it.

From their FAQ:

Q: Can I provide my own wood? A: In most cases we can handle your wood. We do require all shipments to be clean, free of parasites and pass all standard customs inspections.

Ye, but that one is on purpose

Dasus@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

Yeah after reading the whole site, I agree. I just remembered it being mentioned in the same context on QI as the site "expertsexchange".

hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 38 pts · 1y (3 replies)

I mean, if I got a sex change, I sure as hell would want it to be done by an expert.

Sex change operations as a hobby, now that's something

It's a fun way to spend a weekend, the most important thing is to rememeber that it's just a fun hobby and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

I typed in the URL figuring it wasn't going to be real, but it is.

I'm thinking that there were people in the chain who recognized the issue, but didn't speak up because they thought it would make them look bad. A grass roots emperor's new clothes kind of thing.

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 39 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Maybe they're aware and this is how they get their free advertising ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 1y

Could be.

a2part2@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 1y

A bit like pen island?

ArtieShaw@fedia.io · 15 pts · 1y

I could believe that. Alternately, someone knew exactly what they were doing and just let it ride to see how far it would get.

I've seen both cases in real life.

abfarid@startrek.website · 46 pts · 1y

GTA grade name.

(There's already a company in GTA called ProLaps, which is sports equipment)

rockhstrongo@lemmy.world · 27 pts · 1y (6 replies)

Sounds like this brand name needs a new start.

A NEW START... Hmm...

I got it!

ANUSTART!

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

Sounds like a Windows start menu replacement.

aulin@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y

For that you might need an analyst. Or a therapist?

Related: GTA games are full of parody companies and brands with childish humour and, yes, there's a sportswear brand in GTA called ProLaps. Their motto is "Strain Hard".

Is that a pun on Ballsack?

Sorry if it was obvious, English isn't my first language.

Sylvartas@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y

Yes, that is basically how one would pronounce "ballsack" with a Scottish accent (Rockstar North, the historical "main" GTA studio, is Scottish). And it is also referencing the IRL Nasdaq

Since it's Halloween, there is a music video about anal prolapse. I'm not going to link to it because it literally gave me nightmares, but search for it if you dare.

Please just tell me the search term

So I can block it

Use "prolapse" as a search term on a porn site

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 1y (3 replies)

Or WebMD maybe

AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Maybe, but you're going to get the real experience on a porn site.

As an aside, with no intent to kink shame, I've always been surprised at how significant/popular that subcategory is. I have a hard time even seeing the thumbnails.

ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (1 reply)

It's certainly prevalent. I've no intention of ever watching it.

AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y

I remember once upon a time not knowing what it was and watching one. If I saw that in real life, I'd call 911.

pumpkinseedoil@mander.xyz · 5 pts · 1y (4 replies)

Oh it's a term linked to that industry...

But I suppose average people will not know of that meaning, so it's a perfectly fine brand name (I also still don't know what it means but know enough to know that I don't want to know it)

AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 1y (2 replies)

Here's the "fun fact" related to the term. When dogs poop, their butt prolapses a bit, meaning some of the insides extend to the outside, and then retracts after. That's why they don't generally have a bunch of poop on the outside afterwards.
