They live with 2 roommates

"roommates"

In some places, rents are quoted weekly...

Ours is 800/mo. 3 bedroom. Minor metro area - less than a million.

Never ever wrap a ziptie around a limb or anywhere on your body.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 1 year ago

Not for safety reasons, but because you’d be forfeiting $700 in profit by not selling it to some brain dead one-percenter.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

Yes. Let the officer do that for you.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Unless you spent $700 on it. Then you should wrap it as tight as you can, preferably around your neck

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

It's called fashion, sweetie. Look it up.

Hey now, those are safety pins. Which fully explains the exorbitant price.

Whenever I get to know brands like these I wonder how many $800+ clothes I have unknowingly seen on people that I just thought of "damn, that's ugly." and went on with my day.

Made from 100% brass 😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It probably was but some idiot probably fell for it, like QAnon, and Flat Earth.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

It's just like any other scam: find gullible people, convince them that what you're selling is for some reason worth what you're asking, trade them shit for gold, repeat.

This is 100% money laundering.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

Is this how marketing works?

Tell me you live with your mother and have no bills without telling me you live with your mother and have no bills, there aint nowhere rent is that cheap.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

My rent is lower than that in Arkansas

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Well...here it is... It's a small city and for a flat but that converted to EUROS is more or less the rent. That said not a lot of flats to choose from and they are old.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

It being expensive makes it a scam, not fashion.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Please tell me the generation that bought pet rocks aren’t making fun of this.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where the fuck you gonna find rent for 800 bucks!?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Psh, with three roommates; duh.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I wish rent was that cheap

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So wait, you can't take them off again?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

This is on purpose in order to increase scarcity. Supply and demand, bro. Follow my newsletter for more NFT investment tips.

Veblen’s corpse just leaked some ejaculate.

Ziptie can replace a belt.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If you can get a ziptie around your waist, you're already dead.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If you can't get this ziptie around your waist, you're probably going to die soon

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

McMaster must be a french clothng brand. Wow this engine manifold would match my shoes perfectly

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Holy shit that's awesome. I love McMaster.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't need to get it around your whole waist, you just need to connect two loops.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

LOL I'm finna have one of these, just as soon as I find what I did with that pack of zip ties...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I have 37 months of your rent in my bank account.
