son_named_bort, in This is basically what drives the economy

Gets $25 gift card

Regifts it to friend

Friend regifts it to another friend

That friend gives it to me

Gets $25 gift card

Regifts it to friend and so forth

So yeah, we’re basically keeping the economy afloat.

sorry, I’m a little slow today. how is this seemingly keeping the economy afloat?

Theharpyeagle,

Movement of money = economy

Gift cards are just fancy plastic money

Ergo, OP is doing God’s the invisible hand’s work.

You see the thing is shut up

In Belgium it’s (often) referred to as the day of the “stupid” children. Because you’d have to be pretty stupid to be born on the day all the newborns were to be slaughtered.

What happens when you can’t give up the christmas gift card no more

Chakravanti,

What happens when you can but the other guy is broke including homeless now. Do you murder the economy just because the “mutual” “giving” dies on one end?

grayman,

One of them loans you $25, then you regift it.

When I first moved to L.A., you needed a prescription card to buy weed. I had zero experience with edibles. I was going on a flight, and my friend, who had a card, asked me if I wanted an edible for the flight. I said, what the hell. He asked me what strength and I said “the strongest.”

First of all, once it kicked in, all I could say to my wife as she drove me to the airport was, “I’m so high.”

Then I was on a something like eight-hour flight high off my ass, unable to stretch out or move or even do much. And this was pre-smartphone days, so I couldn’t even relax and watch a movie.

Do not do really strong edibles and fly commercially in the 2000s is what I’m saying.

Counterpoint, getting high and taking a commercial flight now is awesome. On my last flight, I had a few edibles before boarding and watched interstellar during the flight. As they were landing on the first planet, the plane hit some turbulence. 10/10 most immersive experience ever

I did specify that you shouldn’t do it if it’s the 2000s.

rockSlayer,

Fair point. When the unix epoch happens and the world is returned to 1970, I’ll keep it in mind for that flight in 44 years

ouRKaoS,

Technically, it’s the 2000’s for another 977 years.

Bearbi3,

We are technically still in the 2000s 😝

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Don’t do really strong edibles and do pretty much anything that requires any kind of commitment.

You have to move? No. You have to not move? Forget about it. You need to focus? Good luck. You need to not focus on a specific thing? Impossible.

Xartle,

I’m with you! I did the same thing before a flight to Australia. Ate it before security thinking I’d get on the plane and fall asleep. Of course the flight was delayed and I was way higher than I meant to be so I sat in a chair staring at the gate for a couple hours so I didn’t miss the plane. It’s hard to get edibles right…

This beats the drake template, but maybe that’s just novelty talking?

Love it, though. Much respect, OP

mononomi, in Axe desire

Were hearts a symbol even back in ancient japan? Didn’t know they were around for so long

usualsuspect191,

Apparently so, although it seems to have a separate history and meaning from other historical uses. From Wikipedia:

Since ancient times in Japan, the heart symbol has been called Inome (猪目), meaning the eye of a wild boar, and it has the meaning of warding off evil spirits. The decorations are used to decorate Shinto shrines, Buddhist temples, castles, and weapons.

You know, this might actually taste good…

pepperonisalami,

It’s actually pretty good! I made it several times when I was a kid. It will curdle a little bit though…

    I’d imagine it’s kinda like a less sweet coke float

    Frozengyro,

    It doesn’t, tastes like an ice cream float.

    Godort,

    You’d think that, but it doesn’t seem to, or if it does, the separation isn’t noticable.

    Pilk isn’t bad, it’s kind of like a disappointing Pepsi float

    manuallybreathing,

    ever had an ice cream float? it’ll probably be fine. there must also only be a splash of pepsi in that glass judging by the colour.

    it certainly isnt going to turn fresh milk rancid, I guess would could mean curdle. 🥛

    ted,

    Works better with 35% cream, in my experience. Poor man’s ice cream float.
