What are your thoughts on billionaires?

Jump

  • I think they're bad for the economy. Money has to circulate. Every time a billionaire throws another million on the pile, they make things worse for everyone else.

    • Do you think brown haired and blonde haired people can be friends?

    Jump

  • A brown and a blonde, friends? I think I saw an anime like that once.

    But no, obviously not. Not in the real world.

    • If you could be reincarnated as anything what would you want to be reincarnated as?

    Jump

  • I'd like to try being a lemur. Swinging through the canopy on those long arms, giving/receiving back scratches as a form of social currency and hooting at leopards when I feel like it.

    • How do you nicely tell a loved one that they stink?

    Jump

  • "Dad, I'm saying this because I'd want you to say it to me if the situation was reversed - your new hygiene routine isn't working."

    • Almost all software can be a video game if you find something interesting or fun about it

    Jump

  • Hard mode: Microsoft Teams.

    Frickin' company-mandated interruption generator...

    • You have 300billion dollars to use for the good of the country/planet. What do you do?

    Jump

  • Fair. The techbros are emblematic of the problem, but it extends far outside the tech industry.

    • Where do people dance?

    Jump

  • If you're an angel, on the head of a pin.

    • You have 300billion dollars to use for the good of the country/planet. What do you do?

    Jump

  • What are the most cost-efficient ways?

    • You have 300billion dollars to use for the good of the country/planet. What do you do?

    Jump

  • We can do a lot more to change the system without a bunch of over-moneyed under-principled techbros trying to stop us.

    • What's the weirdest place you've slept?

    Jump

  • How many hours had you been awake?

    • Why do people with lots of 'karma points' tend to be nothing but egotistical assholes?

    Jump

  • Really? I can't see yours.

    • You have 300billion dollars to use for the good of the country/planet. What do you do?

    Jump

  • Kinda hate that I'm upvoting you.

    • You have 300billion dollars to use for the good of the country/planet. What do you do?

    Jump

  • Assassinate the other billionaires. I genuinely believe billionaires are the source of all the biggest problems the planet has right now.

    • What's a website you've heard of (besides Lemmy) that you're sure nobody else here has?

    Jump

  • It's still there? I visited yesterday.

    • For the next 24 hours, everyone in the world, regardless of a language barrier, has to listen to whatever is on your playlist of no more than 15 songs on repeat no skip. What's on your music playlist?

    Jump

    • When you die, what do you want to be done with you?

    Jump

  • The average human skull has a volume of about twice the average bottle of wine. Thanks to your sacrifice, some artsy goth is getting wasted.

    • When you die, what do you want to be done with you?

    Jump

  • They are. I researched it because my mother wanted to grow a lemon tree from her cremains. Human ashes are too acidic for most plants to grow in unless you mix them with soil or compost. Which doesn't seem at all respectful.

    • Favourite cheese! 🧀

    Jump

  • Aged cheddar. But I'm also fond of blue and haloumi. I like strong flavours, and the taste of fried haloumi... so good.

    • Have you used so-called "AI" for actually productive work ?

    Jump

  • I don't use AI for productive work, for the same reasons I don't stir my soup with a dishrag.

    Pretty good for recipes, tho'.

    • Does anyone else use the bookmarks bar as a to-do list?

    Jump

  • How lucky that we're on the internet! 😉
