Drace (dracenines) | 7418 comments This is not going to be a thread I constantly return to just because it's a massive undertaking and not something to just bump on a weekly basis, but the Goodreads bot in its infinite wisdom has somehow managed to import 5,500 t-shirts from Amazon onto the site. You'd think that when coding a bot for a book website you'd tell it to ignore anything that isn't a book, but I guess that never crossed anyone's mind when they were working on that.

Anyways, for anyone who wants to try to whittle away at this nightmare, you can find all the t-shirts it imported to Goodreads here: https://www.goodreads.com/search?q=te...
