As a kid in the 80s/90s with a single mom from a big rural family, some of the stuff people do today that’s zero waste trendy now was just our everyday:
- cloth diapers
- hand me downs
- thrift store shopping for everything first
- cloth napkins
- coffee compost in the garden
- mason jars for storage and preserving things
- eating meat infrequently and everyyy part of the animal (I’ve eaten parts of a pig in childhood I don’t even wanna admit😅🤦🏾♀️)
- using cast iron, ceramic and wood cus it lasted longer than plastic but also keeping plastic foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
- storing food in any old container you could find! Yogurt container? Thanksgiving leftovers, pasta jar? Pickled veg lol
- my mom also made any and everything. Doll clothes, doll furniture, ketchup, Mayo, bread, jam so muchhh.
- as much as we hate passed down clutter, it meant for so long me and siblings and cousins never had to buy new furniture or dishes because it all got passed down!
Please share what you grew up with!
Let’s face it, when a coin moons and you cash out, that money doesn’t just come from nowhere, it’s come from another investor. Same as if you hold a coin which is dipping and others are selling, people are literally just taking some of your money and putting it in their pockets.
We’re all pretty chummy with each other in this sub and it’s a great place. But let’s not forget, we’re all competing for a Lambo 😂
For the record, I’m not complaining… Hell I want to fill my pockets too but you bastards keep taking it all haha.
First of all, My dad asked me to invest some of his money into crypto, as I know a bit about it and I’m doing relatively well. He knows nothing about crypto, but trusts me and acknowledges the volatility. I, in no way, persuaded him to invest in crypto. Having said that, here’s what happened;
I downloaded a portfolio app on his phone so that he can track the crypto I bought and also so he keeps up with what I’m doing with his money. Naturally, I keep plenty of funds in a stablecoin (in this case usdt) so that I can buy potential dips. One afternoon I kept getting calls from him on my workphone (he never calls me on my workphone). Flustered, I picked up the phone during an important meeting, fearing something bad had happened. When I picked up he said the most boomer thing I ever heard him say ‘Hey, I have been tracking this coin usdt you bought, and it is not doing much, it’s not fluctuating at all, but I’m really, really expecting a rise soon, what do you think?!’
I found it absolutely adorable and dumb at the same time. I explained everything to him and we had a good laugh about it.
Anyway, I just wanted to share this giggle I had. Hope it also brings you some joy in these trying times.
EDIT: Wow, this post really exploded. Thanks for all the awards and love kind strangers. I see there is some controversy about the whole 'Tether' thing. I appreciate you guys looking out for me and my father. I truly do. Having said that, I don't feel the need to fuel this discussion. I think everyone is entitled to his own crypto choices and my dad trusts me enough to make those choices for him. It was not the intention of this post to start a tether-riot. It was simply meant to share a funny crypto-related story. Oh, and for the people saying this is a repost. I did try to post this about a month ago I think, but it got instantly deleted by the mods because I didn't have the required Comment Karma to post on this subreddit. I just thought I'd try to share my story again now having the required Karma. Anyway, I hope all of you have a wonderful crypto-journey. I'm still reading all the comments. It truly makes my day! Much love.
It’s interesting, the skeletons
I mean wtf
Wilcox and Chelsea, along with contestants Judd and Chris, had to guess the names of songs that have something to with spending or money, from clips played by Woody. Bonus points for knowing the artists. In honor of Give Someone A Dollar Day. The title is a reference to a news story that was discussed on the show the day before.
Result: Wilcox and Judd win 7-4
Highlight: From a personal perspective, hearing If I Had $1000000 by famed Canadian band Barenaked Ladies. But really it was Wilcox’s mangling of the title of the song Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in my Hand by Primitive Radio Gods.
HODL through it all. HODL TO VICTORY. NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES. nfa..
More context: He also donated 50k to the Trevor foundation, after all of this came to light.
Anyways, lots of people on livestreamfails are saying they find this hilarious. Mods locked the thread.
Do go on, what about the lgbtq community makes it funny when they are tricked in this way?
How is it “so fucked up”? He didn’t lie, hide or try to not donate the money, the money literally never existed.
And if you say “Well he has tons of money so he can donate that” then I want all of us to post our balances and we can selectively go down the list and determine who needs to donate.
The idea that he owed this donation is absurd.
