The way I understand it, it's like one of those bullshit "buy a star" things except that this one requires two metric tons of coal to transact.

I'd really like to see an interview with anyone who buys these things for non-money laundering purposes. I guess it could be like collecting shoes? I have enough self-awareness where I know there are things other people like that I won't be able to understand, similar to how there are things I like that other people can't understand. Maybe some people just like giving away their money to celebrities they like? Kind of like that girl who drowned trying to save a portrait of Kim Jong.

It's posted on youtube publicly and you don't even get a thank you notice you get a record in a blockchain that says "address x owns URL y"

The pro move is to buy that poo poo for your nieces and nephews and then not have kids. The noisiest toys and most annoying disney movies.

I've never seen Frozen but my brother can probably recite that poo poo line by line.

what i do is take the worst toys (think loud ones that use like 12 batteries, play-doh, toys that are basically copies of what they already have) and say "we'll open them up another day" then stash them away in my secret closet until they're forgotten about and either re-gift them or donate them to charity.

We already have like 6 battery operated dinosaurs that walk and roar, i dont need anymore its not going to enchance my sons playtime expierence.

and christ...so many legos, i started getting duplicates of lego sets we already have

also markers. i loving hate markers. just give me the big box of 64 crayola crayons because every marker lasts maybe about a day or 2 before someone forgets to put the cap on it and its dried out

Lol.

The battery thing is something I like to solve immediately. "Oh it's great, kiddo. But we don't have enough batteries right now to use it."

My kid has a bunch of toys. But what he really enjoys is just collecting literal rocks and pretending they're dinosaur fossils. Paying money for toys is a poor substitute for actually teaching them to play with what they have.

If I knew gently caress all about making noisy toys, I'd make them so loud that they'd eat D batteries in 5 minutes and a can of compressed air with a proprietary nozzle for an airhorn that runs out in less than a minute.

Then sell "recharge" kits.

Probably win an award for "Childless Uncles' toy design" or something.

Melt it down into a lego piece floormat and place it next to your kids' bed at night so they have fresh hell to step on in the morning.
