First I clear all my debts.

Then I buy a Senator.

I am disappointed in the lack of "your mum/mom" jokes.

It's because of your mom oknojkjk

carlyman,

I don't need a billion for that; I have enough in my sofa seats to buy your mum.

Buying stuff is how you stop being a billionaire.

gatlace,

buying liabilities is how you stop being a billionaire. buying assets is how you become a billionaire. big difference

metaStatic,

making money is easy, keeping it is the hard part

Shivs, (edited ) in How do you stay interested in something for a long time?
@Shivs@kbin.social avatar

I have ongoing hobbies like training my dog and doing garden-stuff during summer but other than that, I switch between gaming, reading, writing, drawing and making pixel art. I've had the same hobbies for years and must have spent several 1000 hours doing all of them by now but suspect I'd have burned out on everything if I didn't switch around. I like making things but I'm not trying to make any of it into a side-hustle - I have plenty work at work - so there is no pressure to keep doing a particular hobby when it begins to feel stale.

One billion is an insane amount. You can literally buy everything you see and your bank account would still be increasing from the interest alone.

In order to spend one billion you need to think in extreme cases, like buying some kind of company that is hugely overvalued.

Personally I'd buy a lot of land and create a research facility of sorts.

grahamsz,

With money like that you could buy 1/44th of twitter!

Shinra_K,
@Shinra_K@kbin.social avatar

Or 1/69th of ActiBlizz

YolkBrushWork402,
@YolkBrushWork402@kbin.social avatar

Or a 1/716 of Meta

Slartibartfast,

Yeah even if you parked your billion in some account with super low interest, say 0.1%, it'd still generate a million dollars a year without you even doing a thing.

Chuck-Shepherd505, in You just won One Billion Dollars, what are you buying?

Stocks. Nice thread idea btw.

Mental health and some peace of mind.

XTL, in You just won One Billion Dollars, what are you buying?

FIRE. And maybe a pizza.

greensky, in You just won One Billion Dollars, what are you buying?

I'd go to an electronic store and buy everything I want

Duchess, in Now that you've used Lemmy and /kbin which do you prefer and why?
@Duchess@lemmy.world avatar

i found and tried out kbin first but it was still very small. i saw lots of activity on lemmy.world so i joined here. at first i was very confused and trying to use mastodon to access lemmy/kbin content which, while it technically works, makes following threads really confusing. so yeah, lemmy is where i access everything from but i'm following lots of kbin magazines here too

I've not tried Kbin myself, but I've poked around it and the husband is on there so I've had a detailed tour. Initially picked Lemmy because I found the design of it in general to be more modern and pleasing, and seeing him use Kbin has definitely reinforced that choice for me.

Then I see threads with tons of people saying it's the exact other way round and Lemmy looks too old fashioned for them!

So I guess what I'm saying is we're all just clueless apes who have no idea what we're talking about and it's good there's an option for everyone 😆

I'll probably make a Kbin account at some point anyway though since that's the easier codebase for me to contribute to.

GONADS125,

I think people can make logical points for and against each, but yeah it really just boils down to personal preference. I like Lemmy better myself, and most of the complaints I see about it will be smoothed out in due time.

Fizz, in If you could place any object on the surface of Mars, purely to confuse NASA scientists, what would it be?
@Fizz@lemmy.nz avatar

I would put one of those rock faces 🗿. It would make nasa think ancient tribes had space travel capability.

roman, in Now that you've used Lemmy and /kbin which do you prefer and why?

I used kbin during the blackout but I've been liking the ui of lemmy a bit better.

Flyingtiger188, in Now that you've used Lemmy and /kbin which do you prefer and why?

Desktop - Kbin. Android - Lemmy. Mobile apps for Lemmy instances are far more function than the mobile site for kbin.
