Up for sale is a flying carpet project. Currently doesn't fly for me, but I feel that I just wasn't believing enough in myself.

Original seller demonstrated the carpets impressive flying abilities, so I know it works. I may have eaten a few mushrooms prior to their demo, but they assured me it had nothing to do with it.

So far, the only thing it's done for me is break a few bones (and my spirit). Up to new buyer to get it working again.

I lost the original instructions, sorry.

Price is $4,000

You drive a hard bargain. I'll accept the offer if you also promise to never stop believing in yourself. Otherwise you end up selling broken flying carpets at blowout prices.

Also I just bought a rug earlier today for my wife's birthday. It didn't fly or anything, but I can swap the tags and she'll think I'm awesome.

Just print this Lemmy thread as your proof of purchase, she'll have to believe you.

Oh definitely. She actually had ankle surgery today so she is so high she'll never know anyhow. Plus she's on here occasionally, and she knows as well as I do, no one can lie on the internet. I believe you're a solid business person selling me a solid product. The Internet forbids otherwise.

Nice doing business with you. I'll buzz your house once I get this baby flying.

Is it cool if I already did but promise to start believing in myself again from now on?

If I can get my wife to stick around for 17 years I bet I can get this to fly.

Might take some shrooms but I'm willing to risk it...

Sold. No takesie backsies on your promise.

Pinky promise. I'll believe in me from here on. Especially if it only cost me $20...
