The idea of "getting bored" with clothes is very strange to me. I have had some of my clothes since I stopped growing. If it doesn't have too many holes in it it isn't leaving the wardrobe and I'm not buying anything new until I wear out the old stuff.

I suppose I should be glad that apparently a lot of people do get bored with their clothes though because I get them cheap at the charity shop.

I know this isn't the thread for it, so can someone give me a quick answer or a link to an article/thread about NFTs that answers my confusion about them:

Why do you want to own NFTs?

Because it will be worth more later? But why would it be? Just so that people acknowledge that you own a digital asset? What does it mean to own a tweet or a picture of weird cat? I truly do not understand.

I've read a few articles but none of them explain why you'd want to own one aside from reselling it.

As someone who shops in both men's and women's clothing departments, women's clothing is particularly bad for being made of thin fabric with lovely stitches, compared to men's clothing in the same store from the same brand.

I have shirts that I've had for fifteen years. None of them are women's clothing. I'm not sure of the exact justification for this (women buy more clothes because women's fashion changes more than men's, therefore cut as many corners as possible because they're expected to have higher turnover?) but it's true.

A friend of my SO had a high-heel subscription service where she'd get a new pair or two of heels every month. It was insanely expensive.

I have flat feet and I'm very jealous of all you people who can just order a pair of shoes, and (as long as they're in your size) can have a reasonable expectation that they'll actually be wearable. Probably 80% of all the shoes I've ever tried on are unusable, since they have structure poking up into my foot-meats where most people have an arch.

Same. It sucks! I think we’re just supposed to deal with it until our arch forms, because it’s technically a fallen arch. But it hurts and is bad.

Flat foot buddies try out Vans and New Balance if you want a decent fitting shoe that won't hurt without trying to find brands that offer wide sizes.

I buy a pair of Doc Martens every three years, and I use those boots for everything. (In total I own only a handful of pairs of shoes - trainers, DMs, interview boots, riding boots, motorcycle boots)

Tiggum posted:

You know that scam where they sell land on the moon? So you send them some money and they send you a certificate that says you own a piece of the moon? So you can put that certificate up in your house and tell people you own a piece of the moon, but really all you own is a certificate?

Now imagine that, instead of the moon, it's a picture of the moon. And instead of a certificate, it's a digital certificate that you can't even show people. But because it sounds extremely technical and complicated, when you say "I own an NFT of the moon" people tend to just assume that means something because it couldn't possibly be as stupid as it sounds and these things seem to be worth a lot of money so there must be something to them and maybe I'm the dumb one for not getting it? No. You're not the dumb one. There's nothing to get. It's a worthless digital certificate of pretend ownership for a picture on someone else's computer that they still have complete control over and responsibility for.

It literally doesn’t. Two pairs of shoes worn in rotation will last more than twice as long as one pair of shoes worn every day, because shoes need 24 hours to dry out fully between wears.


Oh, no, where will people go to find beef recipes now? Except everywhere.

Also, I was kind of “oh, okay, good for you” until they were all “PROUDLY BROUGHT TO YOU BY A FAKE-MEAT COMPANY” and then I was :thunkher:

Probably a long shot but does anyone have that twitter exchange between the guy who has the GENIUS idea of getting a covid business loan and using it to start a credit line and opening a credit card with it, and the guy who works for (I think) the IRS saying "My job is literally to find people doing what you are doing and arresting you" or something to that point?

I'm pretty sure it was last year after one of the stimulus packages went out, but that's about 800 pages to go through, so I'm hoping someone just saved the screenshot.
