Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Did they really think that making the least charismatic man alive the face of their product would endear the public to it?

Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day.

  1. Merman Melville is an S-tier username
  2. If I were to somehow become a billionaire and I for one reason or another couldn't use it to improve people's lives, I'd just pay a bunch of indie game studios to make all the dumb game ideas I don't have the time or energy to create myself. Oh, and get myself a hot tub.

Honestly it's a communist power move asking people what they would do with a billion dollars and then telling them how much they would have left after they list changing their lives, the lives of everyone they know, their entire community

Fancy Pants.

imagine having a billion dollars and you choose to spend your life in board rooms and meetings instead of, like, starting a hippie commune on a tropical island

think bigger. 2 hot tubs

A friend of mine got a $700 Herman Miller office chair in perfect shape that was in a university's dumpster, the rich fuckers throw so much away if you know where to look.
