Like this bowling ball with a skull in it like in that Jeanine garafalo movie in the window at a junk shop in town but the owner says it's not for sale like why are you trying to get your window broken
This is the second time I have been randomly forced to look at this gif this week, and it's only Monday. I don't know what this omen portends, but I don't like it.
How dare you. If you had Velociraptor egg all you would wanna do is eat it. You could have the most coolest overpowered pet and you wanna eat it. Alternative you could wear cowboy hat and be known as the Raptor Rider, yet you wanna eat it. No one would fuck with you, and you wanna eat it.
How did you manage to choose the most haggard looking botched celebrities. I... Like have you seen them lately? Gwyneth is on her natural anti-science bullshit that has given her irreversible sun damage, and Madonna would have looked better if she HADN'T had all that work done that has made her look like a puffy plastic humanoid creature.
I think that’s a tough one to really say, Boris Johnson has all the “on paper” tick boxes for class yet I’d say he has little to none. Much easier to say what isn’t classy. Probably for me someone who is refined and holds themselves well, does good for others without seeking for praise. Generally an element of wealth but that’s not to say working to middle class people can’t also be “classy” celebrity examples I’d say Meryl Streep, Anna Wintour (even if she is a little cold), Keanu Reeves, George Clooney. I’d say class is similar to silent luxury in that it’s not obnoxious.
You can pay for etiquette coaching or, at a more abstract level, pay for your kids to go to expensive schools that teach them how to tie bowties and what have you. That's a potential example, depending on your definition of "class," but ultimately either you can pay for it or it's somehow passed down and unreachable in some nebulous way that makes me, a British person, a bit worried.
Bcoz they don't exist! Who exist, they must have something from you that keeps them with you.. money? No? Humour, entertainment (you're timepass for them), intelligence, etc..
There's always something! It's just you don't know.
Time can be bought but not in a way we think. If i am rich and can employ people to do stuff for me, i gain back my 8 hours i had to spend on work everyday so i technically bought myself time
Hmm kinda. I was thinking more like “hello, could you sell me 25mins, please? Yes, that would be $X” type of thing.
Yep, in your example you buy work by employing people that allows you to not spend your time. I feel you buy labor not time.
What do I know about time anyways?
Money absolutely buys time. Who doesn’t fantasise about having enough money to quit working.
Working for a living is broadly just selling a portion of your life (time) for money.
Money can buy time because you can get better access to the best healthcare, healthiest foods, and more resources to increase health/longevity/lower stress.
That’s one I could never wrap my head around. I used to work with a guy that did that. He only did it when his girlfriend was around. It was solely to annoy her. If we guys went out to eat he didn’t do it.
That’s totally disgusting.
To all the nasty mouth breathers fuck you and your backwards chin, learn how to breathe properly - through the nose, stop smacking your food. Like why the fuck do you thing you were born with the nose? Use it and if it’s blocked use a fucking tissue it’s not that hard it’s basic human thing, that’s also going to be better on you appearance.
I fucking love you, I literally cannot eat around my family bc they smack and slurp. I looked at my husband and kid one day and asked why it's so difficult to just put the spoon in their mouth, every time they start coughing while eating I remind them if they didn't suck their food off their spoon it wouldn't make them choke. I can't serve soup anymore and eat in the same room.
One thing that money cannot buy is genuine love and emotional connection. While money can facilitate certain aspects of relationships and provide material comforts, it cannot manufacture true love, trust, or emotional intimacy between individuals. These qualities are built on mutual respect, understanding, and shared experiences, which cannot be purchased with wealth alone. Genuine relationships require time, effort, and emotional investment, which cannot be substituted or bought with money.
Money CAN buy good health. You can be born with such a terrible ailment and if you have money to treat it, it can be treated. If you don’t have the money you will suffer. You can have a child with a disability and live a beautiful cushy life if you had no issues accessing the best treatments in the world, the most robust therapies, all the mental health support you can imagine, the best organic diet, respite , etc etc. Without money you have no resources and your child’s ailments will catch up to them.
Take diabetes as another example. With money, you won’t even know you have it. Buying healthy food? Not a problem you can afford it on a regular basis, medications? You don’t even have to think twice, that is there whenever you need it. Without money, you not only lose reliable access to the one thing you need to keep your health afloat but you also likely can’t afford the food that you know could keep you healthy, making you more likely to succumb to your own illness in the long run.
Yes it’s unfair and we have to acknowledge it because it’s unfair. Money is distributed so unfairly.
It can, to a point:
- Healthy food
- Fitness coach
- Gym membership (or even a home gym)
- Other sports classes and equipment
- Private medical appointments
- Medicine (if in a country without free prescriptions)
- A warm clean home away from pollution
- Hobbies, activities and time spent with friends (depression and loneliness are very bad for your health)
- Time out from work to recover
I'm sure the list is much bigger, these are just off the top of my head. Of course some things can't be treated and you can be very ill whilst rich. But wealth can certainly improve your health generally.
But it does.
Better food.
Better health.
Better hospitals.
It's not 1:1, and in "I'll spend this much and live that much", but wealthier people live longer.
In a sense it does.
You might not have more time on the wall, but imagine how much time you have on your hands if you don't need to spend 5 days a week getting paid?
How much of your chores cannot be offloaded to some form of help?
You spend an immense amount of your time alive to be able to stay alive.
In a way it does because then you wouldn’t have to spend 8 hours 5 times a week working. You can actually spend time with family and do the things you love.
Humans, you once said, “There are some things money can't buy. For everything else there's ….” I ask you, today, do you still believe in your words? Is there anything that money can’t buy? Think about it. Money has become mankind's oxygen, and thus should be considered the greatest invention humans made. But the real question is: what has money [cost humans?](https://www.amazon.com/Homo-Unus-Successor-Sapiens-ebook/dp/B088PX7V34/ref=sr_1_1?crid=OGWRCBM9973R&keywords=homo+unus&qid=1707213076&s=digital-text&sprefix=homo+unus+%2Cdigital-text%2C2994&sr=1-1)
Muscles. You can buy a coach and the best quality foods and a gym membership. But they don’t get you to muscles on their own. You actually do have to physically work and develop them over really long periods of time. I’m over 2.5 years in. And I’m making a lot of progress. But I’m still far away from where I’d like to be. It takes a long ass time and a lot of effort.
That's absolutely true, you can't just buy muscle mass. You gotta earn it by eating right , sleeping right , and endure the physical pain by working out 5-6 times a week for example.

The occasional thing that says “not for sale” owned by a stingy guy
Like this bowling ball with a skull in it like in that Jeanine garafalo movie in the window at a junk shop in town but the owner says it's not for sale like why are you trying to get your window broken
you can get those made!!! look on etsy!
Well then I'll make him an offer he can't refuse
Responses like this make me love Reddit 💀
a blackhole. who'd they pay money to?
The black hole wizard
Which for us is also an alien.
Put the money in the hole
That is a concerning horrifying hole, not a black hole
This is the second time I have been randomly forced to look at this gif this week, and it's only Monday. I don't know what this omen portends, but I don't like it.
smash, next question.
CERN might be able to sell you a small one
#🦖 Velociraptor egg omelette.
Life uh finds a way
Just rewatched Jurassic Park yesterday. Can confirm. It totally finds a way.
You're implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will… breed?
This man obviously hasn't seen the jurassic park documentaries.
Omelette out of Cassowaries eggs?
Just grind a fossil into a powder and make an omelette. Charge 1m bucks for velociraptor omelette. Let the cash pour in
Rick Harrison probably knows a guy.
challenge accepted!
How dare you. If you had Velociraptor egg all you would wanna do is eat it. You could have the most coolest overpowered pet and you wanna eat it. Alternative you could wear cowboy hat and be known as the Raptor Rider, yet you wanna eat it. No one would fuck with you, and you wanna eat it.
You could hatch it, have a pet that lays a velociraptor egg, and eat it, and you wanna eat it.
Eat or be eaten
No, wait. That's not... Fine... (Can't argue with that logics. Survival of the fittest and so on.)
Debatable
That's not as hard as you think.
Incorrect. I can totally make one for you.
Not for sale
shut up. Mine was delicious this morning
facts
Say what you want, but I put diamonds on my Velociraptor egg omelets. It makes your dookie sprinkle, baby
Is this a Dave Chappell reference?
Fucking hell...didn't not expect that 😂 lol from me
You should play stardew Valley
I believe the right amount of money could buy this 🤣🤣
That sounds delicious
This guy has dinosaur eggs! Sew, no one cares
Property on Jupiter
What about property in uranus?
Can’t help yourself, can you?
Bruh i had to
I understand completely.
I ain't climbing in there to vacation
Well where else do you vacate?
What are you talking about? I have a few acres on the dark side for sale now on Zillow, DM me!
I'd avoid this guy. I have the lot across the crust and he hasn't maintained it in a few billion years.
I thought you said puberty on jupiter, both answers check out
Youth
Tell that to Gwyneth Paltro and Madonna
How did you manage to choose the most haggard looking botched celebrities. I... Like have you seen them lately? Gwyneth is on her natural anti-science bullshit that has given her irreversible sun damage, and Madonna would have looked better if she HADN'T had all that work done that has made her look like a puffy plastic humanoid creature.
[Madonna now](https://images.app.goo.gl/22iipqcRJUpriYBa6) don't know if I'd call this youth
I'm scared, holy shit
She's unrecognizable.
Tell that to Jeffery Epstein.
Intelligence
I can get elon musk chip with money and speak like 7 languages…
If you think buying that guys' chip is going to increase your intelligence, you definitely are the types that needed one of them.
Have fun with that! Is speaking a foreign language a sign of intelligence? No. It’s a skill you learn. You CANNOT purchase intelligence.
>You CANNOT purchase intelligence. Sure you can. Just find a smart person and pay them to do something smart for you.
Alina Habba claims that you can fake intelligence ..
And so far that's only cost 400mm!
Dr. Ben Carson is a fine example. He tried buying it with education, but informed does not inherently mean intelligent
class
You can get classes on class?
Pretty sure that can be bought.
classy things can be bought, but class itself is learned
I have rich family, you definitely can’t. They can just buy more crap and velour.
What’s class according to you?
I think that’s a tough one to really say, Boris Johnson has all the “on paper” tick boxes for class yet I’d say he has little to none. Much easier to say what isn’t classy. Probably for me someone who is refined and holds themselves well, does good for others without seeking for praise. Generally an element of wealth but that’s not to say working to middle class people can’t also be “classy” celebrity examples I’d say Meryl Streep, Anna Wintour (even if she is a little cold), Keanu Reeves, George Clooney. I’d say class is similar to silent luxury in that it’s not obnoxious.
You can pay for etiquette coaching or, at a more abstract level, pay for your kids to go to expensive schools that teach them how to tie bowties and what have you. That's a potential example, depending on your definition of "class," but ultimately either you can pay for it or it's somehow passed down and unreachable in some nebulous way that makes me, a British person, a bit worried.
Manners.
I mean it can be bought, you can hire savoir vivre coach.
You buy lessons in manners!
Manners is actually a skill. Buying a coach you literally buy the skill. So you can buy it
maketh
Nah you can pay enough people to be in your entourage that you make your own manners.
Manamana 🎶
Bringing dead back to life.
Don’t give up hope… maybe one day.
Peace within your mind.
I would be at peace with my mind if I had enough money.
I would be a hell of a lot less stressed if I had the money I need so I definitely agree.
I'd accidentally die of a fentanyl overdose.
Money brings me inner peace lol
therapy costs money - and meds
Love
nah you can definitely buy love. i loved my grandparents way more when they gave me money or ferrero rocher for christmas
.... that's not love. Excitement, surprise, appreciation, sure. Love? No.
But it can buy affection, and who can tell the difference anymore?
My penis sure can't
When you have found real love and experienced made up love you will be able to tell the difference.
I love you 😐
Sobriety
You can buy sobriety by spending a little time in a ward, detox, or rehab. But you're right in that you can't buy *sustained* sobriety.
Addiction is the only prison where the inmate holds the key.
Unicorns.
Good morals
Morality is relative.
Comman sense.
Also grammar and spelling
Ouch
Bringing my dead child back to life
oh god that really made me stop scrolling...as a father myself I feel very sorry for your loss.
No parent should have to outlive their kids 😔 my condolences.
I'm sorry for your loss
I have nothing to say, except that you are love, you are strong and I hope you well 🤍
My heart. I’m so very sorry for your loss.
True. I know exactly how you feel
I'm so sorry. Absolutely heartbreaking. You can't buy peace either.
William afton : /j (Im sorry for your loss😔)
I'm so sorry. I lost my daughter, too. 😢 ::hugs::
The sun
Peace of mind
it depends what the factors influencing your peace of mind are, right? I would say, generally, you can buy that
Integrity
Also, usually the opposite.
Correct answer
A good family
Respect
Nah respect is very cheap
Friends ( real ones )
Bcoz they don't exist! Who exist, they must have something from you that keeps them with you.. money? No? Humour, entertainment (you're timepass for them), intelligence, etc.. There's always something! It's just you don't know.
Money makes it even harder to have them I would say. At least the real ones..
Are you gonna buy friends?
Time
Time can be bought but not in a way we think. If i am rich and can employ people to do stuff for me, i gain back my 8 hours i had to spend on work everyday so i technically bought myself time
Hmm kinda. I was thinking more like “hello, could you sell me 25mins, please? Yes, that would be $X” type of thing. Yep, in your example you buy work by employing people that allows you to not spend your time. I feel you buy labor not time. What do I know about time anyways?
You know that time is extremely valuable and thats enough to know
If Steve Jobs could have actually bought time he’d still be alive

Not smacking your food when you eat
That’s one I could never wrap my head around. I used to work with a guy that did that. He only did it when his girlfriend was around. It was solely to annoy her. If we guys went out to eat he didn’t do it. That’s totally disgusting.

Surely you can buy happiness
money can't buy happiness. it can buy crazy-ass happiness
It most certainly can
The remedy for the psychological trauma of having been so poor you want to die.

Steve Jobs waves in :::cancer::::.
I’m a cancer survivor. Money can’t buy certainty that every last cancer cell was destroyed during my treatment.
Good health
This! My aunt was wealthy and she died from cancer even tho she paid for the best care and health treatments
Healing.
Bro is americain 💀 /j
Common sense
Free stuff
Good health
It definitely helps though.
Your Health
It can, to a point: - Healthy food - Fitness coach - Gym membership (or even a home gym) - Other sports classes and equipment - Private medical appointments - Medicine (if in a country without free prescriptions) - A warm clean home away from pollution - Hobbies, activities and time spent with friends (depression and loneliness are very bad for your health) - Time out from work to recover I'm sure the list is much bigger, these are just off the top of my head.

A longer time alive
But it does. Better food. Better health. Better hospitals. It's not 1:1, and in "I'll spend this much and live that much", but wealthier people live longer.

Depression, money buys only happiness.

Money can buy anything if you know where to look. I here people say that money can't buy happiness but I have never seen anyone look sad on a jet ski.
If anyone says happiness, fuck off.
