People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
- If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

QR codes are great. Make a website that pays money to your bank account when people enter their credit card details and leave the QR code on top of other QR codes like the ones to pay for parking.
Its a crazy simple scam. Sure you might not fall for it but someone will.
Oh wow I just replied that QR codes for stuff like menus is nice, but for paying ? That is a terrible idea lol. Never seen one in the wild though.
In the UK a lot of them take you to a site that you order the food from and that includes payment. Replacing it with your own QR code is very easy.
That is a terrible scam, you will be caught in days when people go to court because they were towed when they paid on that site, and banks might well track you down out of spite.
It's like fishing.
