Your new neighbor, a genie, opens 'Temptation Mart' next door. Food, alcohol, substances, carnal pleasures, gambling - all complimentary, 24/7. How does this affect your daily life?
I think you asked this in the wrong community, this is better suited for c/asklemmy. This community is for earnest questions.
This felt too stupid for !asklemmy@lemmy.ml but you are probably right about that
The "what would you do" type of questions where everyone shares their subjective opinions is exactly the type of question asklemmy is for. Nostupidquestions is for questions seeking objective answers.
I'm in the opposite boat, this feels too opinionated, and not serious enough for c/nostupidquestions
So I take it that you interpret “no stupid questions” to mean “don’t post stupid questions.” The way I interpret it is “there’s no such thing as a stupid question.”
The sidebar says “No such thing. Ask away!” So I think the idea is that people should feel free to ask any question assuming they really want an answer. However, joke or troll questions (and I don’t think this is either one), are allowed on Fridays.
No, I interpret this community as a safe place to get answers for questions you'd be scared to ask because you think you'd get judged.
I see asklemmy as the place to ask fun trivia and make fun conversations.
I'm afraid people who have awkward questions might get scared away from the community if questions-for-fun like these were common.
How does this affect your daily life?
It'd take a substantial amount of days off my life, but I consider that a bonus
😩
Oh god my neighborhood would become a magnet for annoying people. I'd move.
Free food you say? I guess I can put up with the traffic...
How does complimentary gambling work btw?
No vig on bets, no green tiles on roulette.
I move into the store permanently and then die of a heart attack after about a month. I imagine I would have no regrets.
A month long, fatal binge is probably not that high of a budget. Don't let your dreams be dreams!
Keep this away from them!
(edit, not accusing of bad credit necessarily, just preempting a possible objection)
It's too easy to ignore these temptations if I have to go out and aquire them myself with my own money lol
Great! Free food that I don’t have to cook! I’d be instantly spoiled. The rest of it I don’t care about.
There will be a lot of strangers in the stairwell in my apartment building.
If the place was actually called "Temptation Mart", I would be very suspicious, a Temptation usually means that if you fall for it, something bad will happen.
"Hey, Stoy, wanna go to the Temptations show with me?"
"I dunno... What's the catch?"
All complimentary meaning free food? Well that helps me save quite a bit on groceries then.
If you can resist endless donuts and cakes and ice cream and all that!
Free gambling means free winnings means...
lol
I'm getting Lotus Hotel and Casino vibes.
Make you never want to leave and become a zombie.
Hey that is what it might look like!
So if I only ever made it this far…
…and thought it too much appealed to kids, think that would change if I kept reading?
Percy Jackson books (movies less so but still decent) are absolutely great. Regardless of age they are still good!
I spend less money on beer and don't have to drive to get it. Otherwise, not much has changed.
You know those three packs of tall boys convenience stores sell? I see guys get out of their pickups to buy them after work on weekdays and I’m under the impression they’re doing it for portion control. 30 racks are massively more economical but I think they’d only last two days for some people, so they overpay every day in exchange for not showing up hungover.
So, sounds like no matter how full your fridge is, you drink the same amount.
lots of people dont have the cold storage space for 30 cans... and lots of other people simply cannot sleep with undrank beer around.
Sublet my apartment
So much noise! 😩
New modern remake of I dream of Genie, right here! Genie is a badass temptress this time, and it's produced by HBO so they can have nudity.
.............I have GOT to stop comkng up with dark but creative pilots for shows I want to watch but aren't even being considered.
i'd like to see a new Dream of Genie where she's constantly trying to seduce some lower-class guy who's actually trying to improve his world and she's always inserted a gotcha which sabotages the good idea. he slowly hates her and she loves him more for it.
Youd Become happy for a few months. And it would become normal, then eventually boring. And you would find hobbies again.
Look guys, @jet@hackertalks.com has never tried fentanyl
Sounds to me like we've solved scarcity. Excellent.
I'd get a normal amount of food and carry on the way I have been. Cutting out the grocery bill would be a life changer.
might have some fun having alcohol
I might check out some of the food, but the odds are pretty high that I won't like it. So I'm probably safe.
Traffic is gonna be a nightmare.
Maybe the question should’ve been “if your fridge were permanently stocked with all your vices” (& your living room was chock full of blackjack, sex workers, and cocaine)
Long wait times for the toilets
I thirteened this. I don’t take those substances and I have yet to find a place where the food tastes about half as gourmet as my own cooked meals.
Try your local genie
