"roommates"

In some places, rents are quoted weekly...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Mine is $760, but i also live in a tiny town about 2 hours away from the closest metro with over a million people. But Toledo is only 45 minutes away if you wanna wild out on a Saturday night

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Ours is 800/mo. 3 bedroom. Minor metro area - less than a million.

Never ever wrap a ziptie around a limb or anywhere on your body.

[–] some_designer_dude 60 points 10 months ago

Not for safety reasons, but because you’d be forfeiting $700 in profit by not selling it to some brain dead one-percenter.

[–] NABDad 32 points 10 months ago

Yes. Let the officer do that for you.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Unless you spent $700 on it. Then you should wrap it as tight as you can, preferably around your neck

[–] Anticorp 24 points 10 months ago

It's called fashion, sweetie. Look it up.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 10 months ago (2 children)

$800 for a fuckin' zip tie?

Shiiiiit. I got some red ones lying around. I could make bank.

[–] TheQuietCroc 9 points 10 months ago

You should honestly try it

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, the red ones are the cheap ones.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Discount then, only $300

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Hey now, those are safety pins. Which fully explains the exorbitant price.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Whenever I get to know brands like these I wonder how many $800+ clothes I have unknowingly seen on people that I just thought of "damn, that's ugly." and went on with my day.

Made from 100% brass 😂

[–] pete_the_cat 1 points 9 months ago

It probably was but some idiot probably fell for it, like QAnon, and Flat Earth.

[–] beebarfbadger 31 points 10 months ago

It's just like any other scam: find gullible people, convince them that what you're selling is for some reason worth what you're asking, trade them shit for gold, repeat.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago

Is this how marketing works?

[–] monkeyslikebananas2 27 points 10 months ago

This is 100% money laundering.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Tell me you live with your mother and have no bills without telling me you live with your mother and have no bills, there aint nowhere rent is that cheap.

[–] Soulg 5 points 10 months ago

My rent is lower than that in Arkansas

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Well...here it is... It's a small city and for a flat but that converted to EUROS is more or less the rent. That said not a lot of flats to choose from and they are old.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

It being expensive makes it a scam, not fashion.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Please tell me the generation that bought pet rocks aren’t making fun of this.

[–] mods_are_assholes 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Where the fuck you gonna find rent for 800 bucks!?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Psh, with three roommates; duh.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

I wish rent was that cheap

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So wait, you can't take them off again?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

This is on purpose in order to increase scarcity. Supply and demand, bro. Follow my newsletter for more NFT investment tips.

I see Neal Page has diversified from shower curtain rings

Ziptie can replace a belt.

[–] littlebluespark 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

If you can get a ziptie around your waist, you're already dead.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

If you can't get this ziptie around your waist, you're probably going to die soon

McMaster is where I get all my fashion products

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

McMaster must be a french clothng brand. Wow this engine manifold would match my shoes perfectly

[–] ramenshaman 3 points 10 months ago

Holy shit that's awesome. I love McMaster.

[–] TheQuietCroc 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You don't need to get it around your whole waist, you just need to connect two loops.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Veblen’s corpse just leaked some ejaculate.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

I have 37 months of your rent in my bank account.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

LOL I'm finna have one of these, just as soon as I find what I did with that pack of zip ties...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Your wallet is about to be ambushed
