At some point you have to take responsibility for yourself. You cant just blame every failing on your parents.

My parents did a lot to model being smart with money and only one of their kids (me) picked up on it. Kids often love being the opposite of what they're taught, no matter how much it hurts them.

Sometimes no matter how much parents try their kid will still end a dumbass.

I always tell people "you can't fall off a unicycle". I've actually fallen once and nobody was around to see.

99.9% of the time you can easily dismount and let the cycle drop, but once in a while you can actually fall

Hahaha I had to scroll back and come back here because I couldn’t believe it.

Your photo on unicycle is 3 posts down below this one on my Hot-All feed xD

I wish you quick recovery :D

I once said I should do a thing and break a bone and then I did the thing a few times until I broke a bone.

You're in second place

I think digitally verifiable ownership could be cool for, like, a digital TCG or something. But you'd need an actual use case for why this 'ownership' matters, which just isn't true of the most noteworthy use of nfts.

Not sure what internet circles you were in, but I've hardly ever seen people be positive about NFTs in mine

The dangers of using reddit

See, you forgot the important rule of the Internet: Being first is the same as being wrong.

Eh. Use an AI to make smaller AI models that have different combinations of personalities (this one acts like Elvis singing opera, this one mimics Einstein with a cowboy accent) and the create NFTs for the ownership of those personalities. Each one comes with it's own bot-created twitter account, and it posts. The holder of the NFT gets any revenue the account generates.

Anyway, if you build this, send me a cut, I'd like to get rich from stupid people who would actually go nuts over this.

nobody buys nfts anymore. that shit crashed fast and hard

At least Dad got to touch something for his money. NFTs don't even deliver on their sole mission statement

My uncle used to go to timeshare sales pitches 2-3 times a week. Never bought a timeshare, just went for the free dinners. He was so bored with life that he didn't even mind sitting there listening to them babble. The only other thing he had to do was to call up my dad and discuss how gas prices were slightly different at different filling stations.

I love people who have time shares, because I have a thing that let's me pay $300 for a week at the resorts when the owners don't utilize their time slot.

NFTs are stupid. Provenance only matters when it comes to the ownership of art. For the real purpose of art, the viewing and appreciation of art, it doesn't matter at all.

For digital art, provenance only matters if someone wants to create artificial scarcity by applying intellectual property laws to art. Trying to make digital things artificially scarce is stupid.

What's very dumb about this is that the rings themselves are probably already non-fungible, so even then, it's dumb to store an NFT inside of them 😬
