I forgot to charge my water bottle, and I forgot to drink anything for several weeks. Now I'm dead. Way to go HidrateMe.

 Unlike many crowd funding's I am not selling a product, instead I am asking for your participation in a design experiment.

Don't worry! You'll be able to play it at the exact same time as everyone else, and whether or not you (or anyone else) gave money to the kickstarter was irrelevant because they already had a team and a publisher.

I liked this story: http://www.kgw.com/story/money/business/2015/06/11/feds-ftc-kickstarter-gofundme-scams/71070848/ Classic scam in which the creator used $55000 of the money to relocate to Portland and also making his monthly rent payments.

Unless this is a "I don't like steampunks, so they aren't allowed to have any fun" situation. When would you need a disposable monocle. Even for a joke. The entire premise is "I need to make a joke about being sophisticated but just making a monocle motion with my hand is not enough. If only I had a one-time use monocle." The times where any given human being will say this is precisely 0. Sure, this incredibly niche thing is definitely worth 125,000 dollars of investments. edit: rephrased CJacobs has a new favorite as of 00:53 on Jun 15, 2015 |

I love that kickstarter because the joke is definitely on the guy owning the monocle. Pledging is essentially saying "yes, I want to be the loving idiot in the comic".

Zach Weiner started a conference based entirely on bad, ad-hoc misinterpretations of existing scientific theories. He is entirely capable of creating something stupid if his fans will pay him to do so. That's what he does. edit- I can't differentiate zach and the dinosaurscomic dude anymore, they're basically the same person right?

FirstAidKite posted:I don't think anybody is funding the kickstarter for the dumb silly pun item for any reason other than giving money to a guy whose comics they like and getting a funny pun item in return Several hundred people spent more than $50 on it which seems to me like they were slightly more than casually invested in it but less than 100 pledged $100 or more so people definitely didn't go apeshit over it. Well, apart from that one guy who backed the $1,000 reward tier which earned him 200 monocles and a personal letter from the creator "advising you to seek greater moderation."

Collateral Damage posted:Because in the year of 2015 the first priority when looking for a partner is obviously that she's physically ready to have a child RIGHT NOW. As far as I have understood, it's not if she is ready right now, it's that she is as far from ready as can possibly be. It's telling everyone that she is bleeding, not that she is ready to make a child. Or have I misunderstood how this... Product (?) works?
