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

Eventually they hyphenated it.
- https://www.penisland.net/
  
  Still works and everything.
  
  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
- I mean, if I got a sex change, I sure as hell would want it to be done by an expert.
  
  Amateursexchange.com?
  
  Sex change operations as a hobby, now that's something
- /#susanalbumparty lol
- powergen.italia
They are following on the footsteps of Procreate, but missed the concept of nuance.
- What a wonderful day to have a mind
  
  Got a triad going with GIMP!
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.
- Maybe they're aware and this is how they get their free advertising ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  
  Could be.
  
  A bit like pen island?
- 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.
GTA grade name.

(There's already a company in GTA called ProLaps, which is sports equipment)
Sounds like this brand name needs a new start.

A NEW START... Hmm...

I got it!

ANUSTART!
- For that you might need an analyst. Or a therapist?
- Sounds like a Windows start menu replacement.
- "...and she never even saw the license plate."
- I see you work for the marketing company prolapse hired! Its like shitty hallmark cards!
- the best kind of tart
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".
- The one that always gets me is the stock market app being called Bawsaq
  
  Is that a pun on Ballsack?
  
  Sorry if it was obvious, English isn't my first language.
Stab-lapse. For stabilisation, not for stabbing.
- Or when you've not kept your stabbing credentials up to date?
- Stabilapse?
- That sounds like a timelapse of someone being stabbed.
  
  In 4k
- Laspter Free and Lapster Pro.
I goatse what they did there.

They knew.
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
  
  Why miss out on culture? Goatse, meat spin, lemon party, tub girl, 2 girls 1 cup, that one Japanese one with the guy laying on his back and the seat beer bong hooked up to a mask? Like what do you even talk about on first dates?

  You bastard. I totally came to post that video. For the uninitiated do not click that link.
  
  Wtf this unironically goes so hard
Wow... didn't even read the title, saw the logo and my brain responded Rectum‽
- Nearly killed him
  
  Hey Dad! I didnt know you were on lemmy!
It's a pretty good marketing strategy, to be honest. I'm telling all my friends about this as I'm writing this post.
- I'll remebef the name of this for sure
Brought to you by the American National Automation Laboratory Corp?
Now That's What I Call a Shitpost 2024
- It certainly is a post about the
What's wrong with this?
- Use "prolapse" as a search term on a porn site
  
  Or WebMD maybe
  
  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)
