Your rent is just $755??

[-] LufyCZ@lemmy.world 31 points 4 months ago

They live with 2 roommates

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

"roommates"

[-] SomeoneSomewhere@lemmy.nz 14 points 4 months ago

In some places, rents are quoted weekly...

[-] BakerBagel@midwest.social 9 points 4 months ago

Mine is $760, but i also live in a tiny town about 2 hours away from the closest metro with over a million people. But Toledo is only 45 minutes away if you wanna wild out on a Saturday night

[-] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 59 points 4 months ago

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

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 32 points 4 months ago

Yes. Let the officer do that for you.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 30 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

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

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 36 points 4 months ago

$800 for a fuckin' zip tie?

Shiiiiit. I got some red ones lying around. I could make bank.

[-] TheQuietCroc@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

You should honestly try it

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

No, the red ones are the cheap ones.

[-] shasta@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago

Discount then, only $300

[-] flatpandisk@lemm.ee 34 points 4 months ago

So I through this was a joke, nope.

Also $455usd paper clip bracelet. https://www.ambushdesign.com/en-us/shopping/a-safety-pin-link-bracelet-18703761

[-] Timecircleline@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 months ago

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

[-] tobbue@feddit.de 6 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Made from 100% brass 😂

[-] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

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

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 31 points 4 months 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.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 28 points 4 months ago

Is this how marketing works?

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago

This is 100% money laundering.

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 24 points 4 months ago

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.

[-] Soulg@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

My rent is lower than that in Arkansas

[-] XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months 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.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 17 points 4 months ago

It being expensive makes it a scam, not fashion.

[-] mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world 12 points 4 months ago

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

[-] CPMSP@midwest.social 7 points 4 months ago

Psh, with three roommates; duh.

[-] Mastengwe@lemm.ee 12 points 4 months ago

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

[-] candle_lighter@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 months ago

I wish rent was that cheap

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 months ago

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

[-] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 16 points 4 months ago

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

[-] TotalFat@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I see Neal Page has diversified from shower curtain rings

[-] gapbetweenus@feddit.de 6 points 4 months ago

Ziptie can replace a belt.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

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

[-] dmention7@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago

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

McMaster is where I get all my fashion products

[-] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

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

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Holy shit that's awesome. I love McMaster.

[-] TheQuietCroc@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

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

[-] ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

Veblen’s corpse just leaked some ejaculate.

[-] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 4 points 4 months ago

Your wallet is about to be ambushed

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 months ago

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

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago
