Numbers Schumers! It's All Just Ants in a Box!

Alright Morty listen up. Amazon that Bezos fueled behemoth just dropped their Q1 numbers. Beat expectations yada yada everyone's making a fuss. But let's be real Morty it's just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic... or you know another slightly less dramatic but still deeply flawed metaphor. They made $1.59 per share analysts said $1.36 whoop dee doo! It's all just Monopoly money in a simulation run by hyper intelligent squirrels. Don't get your Schwifty on about it.

Cloudy with a Chance of Overpriced Services

So Amazon Web Services or AWS the thing that keeps the internet from collapsing into a pile of dial up modems apparently underperformed slightly. $29.3 billion Morty. *Burp*. Slighlty below the $29.42 billion expected. A whole point one two billion. Call the galactic ambulance. Here's a fun fact Morty: AWS powers most of the simulations where people think their lives have meaning. Makes you think huh?

Ads: Because No One Escapes Capitalism Morty

Ah advertising. The lifeblood of soul crushing consumerism. Amazon's ad biz raked in $13.92 billion beating expectations. Because apparently we all *need* that Snuggie or vibrating butt massager. Honestly Morty the only thing dumber than buying that crap is thinking it'll fill the void in your existence. Get a hobby Morty learn to play the theremin or something. I got to go make a portal to a reality where that did not just happen.

Future's So Bright I Gotta Wear... My Existential Dread

Now here's the kicker Morty. Amazon's projecting some *soft* guidance for the next quarter. Between $159 billion and $164 billion in sales which sure is a lot of interdimensional cable but still... analysts were expecting more. Like $160.9 billion more. Oh the humanity! And operating income? Lower than expected too. You know what that means Morty? More robots replacing humans or maybe just an accounting error who knows? Reality is arbitrary.

Tariffs and Trade Policies: Blame Game 2000

Of course they're blaming 'tariffs and trade policies.' Because who takes responsibility anymore right? Classic deflection maneuver. It's like blaming your burps on the cat. *Burp*. Speaking of cats anyone ever wonder if Snowball remembers being Snuffles? Existential right? Don't think about it too hard Morty.

So What Does It All Mean Morty?

Nothing Morty! It means absolutely nothing! Amazon makes a lot of money they might make a little less next quarter and the universe still doesn't care about your student loans. Go watch interdimensional TV. It's better for your brain. Seriously Morty you'll thank me later. Wubba Lubba Dub Dub!
