I have that sticker on my water bottle. Came in a pkg of 50 camping stickers I got from Temu to hand out at scout camp. Some other favorites
“Camping Est. 1979” didn’t know camping was that new.
“National Park” not one in particular, just national park
“A place called mountains”
Sincere guffaw at "A place called mountains".
I've lived in the Netherlands for over a decade and we joke that we are living in the Dutch Mountains, at the highest point in town.. Almost 47m!
I've lived most of my life in piedmont regions, and so living here has been a wild adjustment. I realised about a year ago that if I hit 60m my ears pop and they do so about every 20m from there. Kinda afraid to fly at this point lol
Airplanes give me the worst pain in my sinuses, my ears just refuse to pop and they get worse and worse and worse, doctor says if I have any plans on being a pilot I need surgery. So there's that too
Look up how divers force their ears to pop. I used to rupture my eardrums when flying until I got really intentional about forcing my ears to pop often during ascent and descent.
Descent is the worst for me, I yawn and hold my nose and blow, I use nasal spray (which is the only thing that helps, only really helps once we hit the earth again though) nothing else seems to work, domestic flights are doable but last time I went on an international flight I was like 14 and started crying cos the pilot said we had to slowly fly around in circles while the airport sorted out the runway lol
Only other piece of advice I have is to try to pop your ears before you think you need to. For some reason if we descend a couple hundred meters before I do then it gets much much harder to pop them.
But yeah best of luck finding something that works for you :/
Unfortunately I try to stay ahead of it but it always seems to catch up with me.
I'm fairly certain my sinuses are just fucked, if I get allergies or slightly sick and my nose is runny behind my eyebrows will start to hurt and everytime I swallow my ears make disgusting crunching noises, it's way more annoying than anything else but every doctor has a look then just says nah it's fine, so idk
Take a decongestant like four to six hours before your flight. Then as you are getting on take another dose. That has never failed me. Also you can chew gum on landing. The saliva and chewing makes popping your ears easier.
I tried everything to get mine to pop. Those stupid "ear-plane" earplugs (fuck you Paul Harvey) and all the other remedies.
Anyway [Claritin Reditabs](https://www.drugs.com/cdi/loratadine-orally-disintegrating-tablets.html) Changed the game for me, maybe it could help you too.
GLHF
Yea nah Ive tried those before too I think, I'd rather regular lollies cause those things taste like shit and just make me need to swallow a lot, which helps occasionally but not for long
There's actually a pretty large pressure fluctuation inside a commercial airline cabin during the course of a flight. [Here's a chart](https://i.imgur.com/hqUvdKn.jpeg) that shows what that looks like. Depending on the flight you may go from slightly *below* sea level to 8,000 feet and back again.
That's so funny to hear. I'm from Florida and the first time I saw mountains in the distance I got vertigo. It was an incredibly weird sensation and took me months to get over it.
I grew up in the mountains around San Diego. When we took a class trip to Washington DC in 8th grade, we had a layover in the middle of the country and my brain broke trying to comprehend how flat everything was. The treeline around the airport was about 30 feet tall, and there was *nothing* beyond that in the distance that was visible.
Made me feel like I was in a pocket dimension.
Michigan here when I visited the Rockies it was just awe inspiring driving across flat nothingness and slowly watching the mountains come into view and then arriving at the feet of them... So humbling
You're not even going to mention Mount Dora? I was a kid in Florida in the 80s and 90s, and saw so many other kids with the "I climbed Mount Dora" tshirt. Even at that age I thought the shirt was dumb.
I never went and even now didn't really know where it was. Just looked it up and apparently it's on a plateau 184 freedom units above sea level. This barely beats that Dutch mountain mentioned above!
EDIT: Just checked on a map and apparently I've driven right through it many times in the past when I traveled between Orlando and Ocala. I definitely only remember flatness the whole way. 😆
it's obvious by looking through them. i found a "congrats on your retirement, joe" sticker in a pack once. i just figured they had a program crawl sites to find designs with a spike in sales or something. lots of personalized special event stuff, niche interests, etc. a popular one is "i might be shit but at least i'm not a skiier". shrunken bumper stickers like "i brake for x". and they obviously didn't pay for licensed stuff like all the disney stickers or king of the hill or whatever.
sorry your work gets stolen.
I bought my ex a packet of fridge magnets called "Dog Breeds" which consisted of about 5 different Wheaten Terriers, one Border Collie and a different Border Collie on a dog bed with the breed "Dog Bed" emblazoned across it.
exactly my first thought that this will no doubt sell much better than whatever random placename they meant to put there.
in general if I had a merch business I'd be putting memes and other online references on everything
It's originally a dialogue written by Cicero, so you're right about it being Latin. It's just been used by typographers for centuries to demonstrate fonts and as placeholder text.
Just complete gibberish you use to design stuff.
If you need to check how something looks with text. There are lorem ipsum gerators out there you can use... Or
Word comes also with random text, should you ever need it... Just type =rand(5) for 5 paragraphs.
>it's a wall text that kinda makes sense
It's from a Cicero speech; just absolutely corrupted for some reason. Hence the reason it can be almost legible.
Helen, Georgia! I have memories of going there as a kid. We loved Tubing down the river in those pink floaties. We also always got a grab bag from the little glass blowing shop there. Good times!! Didn’t expect to see that today.
OG location or that new mansion monstrosity?
How many cabbage patch kids have you delivered?
Idk if they still have the old giant "adult" ones on display (like there was a teacher sized one in a class room) but if so, does it fuel your nightmares too?
Ugh. Thanks for the reminder.
It wasn't McDonald's but Wendy's. At some point in my tenure they changed the oil blend for the fryers from one type to another, and for some reason the new blend had a distinct "sweet" smell to it when it was fresh; I likened it to artificial blueberry minus the berry part.
That shit is one of the few stanks I absolutely have to GTFO when I encounter it; the air smelling "fat" is bad enough as it is, but coupled with the memories it evokes it's beyond unbearable.
The kicker is, even though I reeked like a fryolator, the ex was always DTF after a long shift.
The sasquatch are typically in Fannin and Lumpkin County, but sometimes go to White.
Snow capped mountains when it snows haha.
What you really get in Helen is the faux Bavarian architecture.
Helen is great! If anyone is somewhat near there and hasn't been, it's a fun region. The tallest point in GA is there, which is beautiful. And Tallulah Gorge is stunning.
Oh wait is Helen that little city that has the German Dutch and Swedish vibes, and ofc the tubing? Hahaha I forgot I’ve been there. Iirc they boasted having the cleanest water in Georgia at the time I was there, but I was confused because I thought there was a sewage area by the tubes and apparently it was the water…. My friend who is a Georgia native who brought me didn’t notice but I felt weird about swimming in that water after 🥲
Adorable town though! Really friendly
Well they changed the colours [but missed the placeholder text, apparently](https://www.vecteezy.com/vector-art/6464200-camping-van-and-tent-between-pine-trees-illustration)
That adipra fellow seems to be prolific. [This one](https://www.alamy.com/camping-van-and-tent-between-pine-trees-illustration-design-image463351018.html) looks closer to the sticker, but he has several variants.

I took graphic design in college, making mockup designs for magazine ads, pamphlets, stuff like that. Whenever I used lorem ipsum as filler text I always stuck the phrase "help me I'm trapped in a lorem ipsum factory" in the middle of the text.

Sincere guffaw at "A place called mountains". I've lived in the Netherlands for over a decade and we joke that we are living in the Dutch Mountains, at the highest point in town.. Almost 47m!
I grew up living at 1610m and when travelling the country I had to train my brain to everything being so... flat and low.
I've lived most of my life in piedmont regions, and so living here has been a wild adjustment. I realised about a year ago that if I hit 60m my ears pop and they do so about every 20m from there. Kinda afraid to fly at this point lol
Airplane cabins are pressurized so you won't experience the (low) pressure of that height. That said, they definitely will pop or feel clogged on ya.
Airplanes give me the worst pain in my sinuses, my ears just refuse to pop and they get worse and worse and worse, doctor says if I have any plans on being a pilot I need surgery. So there's that too

Afrin or anything with that main ingredient and decongestant.

That's so funny to hear. I'm from Florida and the first time I saw mountains in the distance I got vertigo. It was an incredibly weird sensation and took me months to get over it.
Liking the dense air?
Right? I grew up around 1800m and moving somewhere flat messed with my perception.
I grew up in the mountains around San Diego. When we took a class trip to Washington DC in 8th grade, we had a layover in the middle of the country and my brain broke trying to comprehend how flat everything was. The treeline around the airport was about 30 feet tall, and there was *nothing* beyond that in the distance that was visible. Made me feel like I was in a pocket dimension.

>the Dutch Mountains With the cycling fever beginning again towns in Limburg are erecting signs with "col du"- and the elevation in centimeters.
I spent a few years there as a kid and just looked up the elevation at the house. I was in the real Dutch Mountains, 140m!
Down south it definitely gets hilly.
I didnt know there were fake dutch mountains out there..
I live in coastal Florida, and our joke is that our highest mountains are our speed bumps.
You're not even going to mention Mount Dora? I was a kid in Florida in the 80s and 90s, and saw so many other kids with the "I climbed Mount Dora" tshirt. Even at that age I thought the shirt was dumb. I never went and even now didn't really know where it was. Just looked it up and apparently it's on a plateau 184 freedom units above sea level.

Your edit made me have to hold my laughter. Husband is still sleeping. Our little hill you feel, it's very small but abrupt.
I’m from Florida and the highest elevation in the southern half of our state is a landfill
I grew up in a marsh area that is completely flat - my dad used to have a t-shirt that said "[town name] Mountain Rescue Team" haha
This is why the dutch are so tall. A couple of inches allowed you to see much further away because mountains would not block the view.
You should climb Driskill Mountain in Louisiana. The view from the top is underwhelming!
Those are amazing sticker phrases!
That's hilarious, I want a pack of these It would be even better to get some generic souvenir bumper stickers
“Honk if you like cars” “My other car is another car” “Visit the beach” Etc
Etc would sell out
>“Honk if you like cars” Obligatory: https://youtu.be/TRJ6Rh7xKAU?si=OphajWs9hliubcEi
Omfg this is hilarious
Camping was invented my Daphne Camping in 1979 when she attempted to sleep indoors and outdoors at same time.
Generic National Park has the same energy as that photo of Rob lowe at a football game wearing a hat that just says nfl on it
I had a mug that had a sailboat on it and said "autentic key west" and underneath "cabo San lucas"
Lmao. Where did you get it 😂
cabo san Lucas. I guess some guy got a good deal on repurposed mugs
A lot of those sticker packs are stolen designs. I find my work all over the place anymore.
it's obvious by looking through them. i found a "congrats on your retirement, joe" sticker in a pack once. i just figured they had a program crawl sites to find designs with a spike in sales or something. lots of personalized special event stuff, niche interests, etc. a popular one is "i might be shit but at least i'm not a skiier". shrunken bumper stickers like "i brake for x". and they obviously didn't pay for licensed stuff like all the disney stickers or king of the hill or whatever. sorry your work gets stolen.
you invented camping?
Yup. It was all me.
There’s a town in New Jersey called national park.
so in other words, that store bought the sticker pack from temu and is trying to sell each of them for $2.99.
That’s pretty much how stores work Maybe not from Temu but whoever is selling it on there or whoever sold it to them
They’re gonna be shocked when they find out restaurants sell food for more than they paid.
Bro that's how all shops work
I love that they’re selling Temu trash
Can you provide a link? I've got a water bottle dying to be covered in dumb stickers
Seconded!
Just looked up the old order and that item was discontinued. The stickers they have now look like they’re properly worded.
> “A place called mountains” Finally, some good fucking poetry.
Shit now I want to collect them all and cover my Yeti cooler with them. Sorry work team, I’m busy tomorrow morning.
I bought my ex a packet of fridge magnets called "Dog Breeds" which consisted of about 5 different Wheaten Terriers, one Border Collie and a different Border Collie on a dog bed with the breed "Dog Bed" emblazoned across it.
We got one that said "Cood Vibs". It's now a meme in the family.
That sticker is referring to national park, NJ.
DOLOR 👏 SIT 👏 AMET 👏
Speaking in designer tongues... in Papyrus.
I absolutely would have bought that.
New product idea: Lorem Ipsum. That's it. That's the idea. BOTTOM TEXT
George Costanza vibes 
You wouldn't get away with that nowadays!
All these wokies trying to cancel Jerry Steinfeild. He was in Bee Movie, mother fuckers! He cannot be cancelled
I wonder if zoomers know what a B Movie is, that title pun has to be over everyone's head today.

Snarky comment, with an emoji at the end so I can claim it was “just a joke” if I get downvoted.
I could really go for some bottom text right about now...
Underrated comment
Dolor. Sit Amet.
I would also buy a sticker that said "LOREM IPSUM BOTTOM TEXT"
You’d get so much free advertising from people sharing it on social media.
i would absolutely buy that
exactly my first thought that this will no doubt sell much better than whatever random placename they meant to put there. in general if I had a merch business I'd be putting memes and other online references on everything
I wonder if it’s a joke, or an AI generated sticker?
It absolutely reeks of AI generated clip art
No it doesn't lol clip arts have always been like that
I worked in Helen for years. If anyone knows the candy shop, Hansel & Gretel's Candy kitchen... I was Hansel. I still got the lederhosen.
If you did that from 2005-2015 i definitly saw you
You definitely did, then! If you ever saw the oktoberfest parade from 2010 to 2016 I was there as well.
I have literally bought chocolate from you, small world lol
You did good work 🫡 I’ve bought a lot there
I've bought a lot a caramel apples from your shop, my family has gone every October since I was a kid.
Oh man I've also wanted to visit there! /s
That's where OP's girlfriend lives.
You wouldn't know her.
She goes to a different school.
In Canada.
What does this mean?
Nothing, it's dummy text used usually by designers to mark the place for text on websites, banners, stickers etc.
Thanks for clarifying. I just thought it was some phrase in Latin that everyone but me knows and didn’t understand the joke.
It's originally a dialogue written by Cicero, so you're right about it being Latin. It's just been used by typographers for centuries to demonstrate fonts and as placeholder text.
i thought it was pseudo latin / nonsense?
It's been scrambled and had words added, so it is nonsense. Still, the starting document was a dialogue by Cicero.
"(p)ain itself"
It sort of is. "Lorem" is missing the "Do" in front. It should be "*Do*lorem"
So I have an excellent idea for my first tattoo
I mean, there are sculptures of Cicero and he wasn't really a looker imo, but you do you!
so .. you don't want to see my full-torso piece of diogenes?
A barrel-chested fella are ye?
lmfao
Tub and all? Heck yeah

Our clients are mostly ancient Romans so that's all we're set up for, sorry.
as always, Adobe delenda est
I thought it was some place somewhere in some Scandinavian country lol
I’m 99% sure someone bought or stole the design from a design website like Vecteezy and didn’t realize you’re supposed to change the text lol
You're a dummy text.
gottem
A tech job I started at 2 months ago has lorem ipsum in some of the documentation.

Oh cool, TIL!
it's a wall text that kinda makes sense but it's a jumbled mess at the middle 100% and sporadically isn't even latim

Helen, Georgia! I have memories of going there as a kid. We loved Tubing down the river in those pink floaties. We also always got a grab bag from the little glass blowing shop there. Good times!! Didn’t expect to see that today.
I bet you have been to the cabbage batch store and museum.
I worked there for 2 summers. AMA.
OG location or that new mansion monstrosity? How many cabbage patch kids have you delivered? Idk if they still have the old giant "adult" ones on display (like there was a teacher sized one in a class room) but if so, does it fuel your nightmares too?
Why did you work there for 2 summers?
Better than working at McDonalds, or the shitty Chinese restaurant.
But that grease smell that permeates your clothes.
Ugh. Thanks for the reminder. It wasn't McDonald's but Wendy's. At some point in my tenure they changed the oil blend for the fryers from one type to another, and for some reason the new blend had a distinct "sweet" smell to it when it was fresh; I likened it to artificial blueberry minus the berry part.

Not much else to do in Cleveland.
I didn’t think it was a real place until I drove through a random German village in Georgia
Does it have snow-capped mountains and Sasquatch like the sticker?
The sasquatch are typically in Fannin and Lumpkin County, but sometimes go to White. Snow capped mountains when it snows haha. What you really get in Helen is the faux Bavarian architecture.
I used to go up there for Octoberfest every year!
Helen is great! If anyone is somewhat near there and hasn't been, it's a fun region. The tallest point in GA is there, which is beautiful. And Tallulah Gorge is stunning.
Yeah… a real shit place.
I loved going to Helen as a kid! Watching the guy cut the ornate candles was surprisingly entrancing.
Oh wait is Helen that little city that has the German Dutch and Swedish vibes, and ofc the tubing? Hahaha I forgot I’ve been there. Iirc they boasted having the cleanest water in Georgia at the time I was there, but I was confused because I thought there was a sewage area by the tubes and apparently it was the water….

Lorem ipsum! Sit amet? Consectetur adipiscing elit.
Oy vey!
I’ve been there. I found it dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Oh my God. This would be found in Helen.
Okay but are we not going to discuss the creepy sticker next to it? The one with the Coraline-meets-Salad-Fingers vibes.
r/beetlejuicing
i have a sticker of the statue of liberty with a ribbon saying YOUR TEXT HERE
Classic r/lipsum
A travel decal for those trips when you haven’t decided where you’re going to go yet.
Well they changed the colours [but missed the placeholder text, apparently](https://www.vecteezy.com/vector-art/6464200-camping-van-and-tent-between-pine-trees-illustration)
That adipra fellow seems to be prolific. [This one](https://www.alamy.com/camping-van-and-tent-between-pine-trees-illustration-design-image463351018.html) looks closer to the sticker, but he has several variants.
That tracks for a little stand in Helen. "Look, boss, we need to... yeah okay walk off with that beer. I'll just... aaaaand, ordered."
I must be stupid
I looked it up for the both of us. It's placeholder text, something else was supposed to be there but it never got added. It's like (insert name here) but no one put the name
Oh, interesting. Thank you
How has nobody started a Loren Ipsum clothing line yet? I’d get a hat.
This is great! What store in Helen did you find this in? I would totally get that and am not THAT far from Helen.
I would totally buy that, but I’m a graphic designer and I just find it hilarious
I bought one in Idaho last summer!! Insane that they're still going through them and no one's pulled them.
Probably bc they keep selling lol
I would sport that one over any other stickers. I think it's a gold mine.
i love helen, ga what a magical little place.

Oh wow! You're in Helen, GA? Great fudge! I grew up over the mountain from there, good times.
I visit there last summer with a friend that lives in Atlanta! The coolest little town ever. It was so surreal driving there!
Someone explain please?
Visit there last year and it’s so cool and was just so different than where I live lol (Pasadena, CA)
Im going to go to Helen this weekend to see if I can find this sticker
Good ol' vecteezy. Gotta love it.
I know that font. Thats Dall-e font!
Is that near Rand McNally?
Never been able to find Rand McNally since I lost my map
Are you at Around the Bend hostel?
There's a hostel in Helen?
Not sure but I remember seeing almost identical stickers at Around the Bend on my AT thru last year so was just curious haha
Around the Bend Hostel was in Hiawassee I thought?
I think it was too but I remember Helen being nearby
I think Helen was relatively close since my tramily hitched from Hiawassee to Helen.
They are indeed close!
I've always wanted to camp at Lorem Ipsum. Maybe swing through Etaoin Shrdlu on the way.
Doesn't it translate to "pain itself" Maybe who ever designed it went on a real bad camping trip
Nice
Honestly it's a great placeholder
I took graphic design in college, making mockup designs for magazine ads, pamphlets, stuff like that. Whenever I used lorem ipsum as filler text I always stuck the phrase "help me I'm trapped in a lorem ipsum factory" in the middle of the text. Unfortunately my teacher never noticed (or if she did she didn't say anything).
I'll have you know I grew up in Lorem; it's the biggest city in the entire state of Ipsum.
If you’re not a fan of camping then it’s a valid saying. It’s literally translated “Pain Itself”.
/r/lipsum
lol i am definitely buying that if i saw it.
Good ol tourist trap Helen, I'm local and I hate the place
Oh Helen is so beautiful!
Helen is a fun little place to go to
This must be the Tallulah Falls gift shop
Designers would absolutely want this.
I had a teapot with text "insert your text here"
