My dad could have taken out a LOT of six year olds in a fight.

I need to find that picture of him using a chainsaw without a shirt so I can prove this..

I'm aggressively wrong about everything!
The best part of this thread title is that eventually someone's going to ask what it is, and someone else is going to have to explain how we got to this point.

Someone early on ITT ruled out sports gambling but I doubt it would take too many exact Super Bowl/World Series score predictions to convince my parents to start betting the farm

Hell, it worked for Biff Tanen.

Do I have Biff's handy dandy almanac because I definitely don't remember the exact scores to sports finals games in 1993 off the dome. Again, I'm probably too stupid to be an isekai protagonist like the other tweet thread users

You don't need the scores, just pick winners. Pick a sport with a no ties. pick a team. Convert wins to 1 and losses to 0, and then you have a binary string. A 23 length binary string can be converted to a 7 digit number, it's like memorizing a phone number. If you want to get really fancy, pick a specific string of games that actually produces your own phone number or another easily remembered pattern like 8008135 (boobies). Hell if you can remember two phone numbers that's even better since you now have 46 days of bets. Bet a single dollar on your first game and double it (or whatever the odds are) every day. Then you just gotta find someone willing to take a 14 trillion dollar bet on a midseason baseball game and you're set for life. It's all very simple.

No, but 'we got hacked and lost millions of dollars' is pretty much the worst thing you could have happen to you if your whole thing is speculative digital currency transactions. That's like IKEA announcing that their furniture has been melting recently.

It's like that weird shop that makes furniture out of chocolate announcing that someone melted some of their furniture.

Actually? Or self-proclaimed...

Normally when the topic of gifted programs comes up you get a flood of posts like "oh man, I was considered so smart when I was younger but now [story about how their potential went to waste and they ended up living with the owls in an abandoned belfry]

All Princesses are Tyrants

When I was in college I knew this guy who would offer to buy weed in bulk for people he knew. The idea was that everyone would give him $50, he'd go to the nearest city to his "hookup", buy an oz or two, bring it back and split it among his investors. What he would actually do is stay home, claim he was mugged by the dealer, and pocket the money. He must have done this about 4 or 5 times.

I feel like I have a fairly good grasp of the crypto market because of that.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
