I haven't been hyped for anything since Godzilla Minus One came out (which more than lived up to my expectations). I do have to live with my parents buying into the hype of owning a new home. So I'll be stuck inheriting a pile of shit that's going to be falling apart by then instead of their old house that was rock solid.

I thought touch screens would be a fad. I dont fall for hype but thats because Im an idiot, not because Im smart.

Humble Bundle. Twice now, I've subscribed for a month and forgot to unsubscribe until after I got billed for the next month.

Done it successfully for a single month many times, so overall I'd still say I'm ahead, lol

Chia cryptocurrency. My dad got into it, and the price was mooning. Gave me an excuse to build a new PC and learn linux, so I thought it was a worthwhile investment. Sunk a decent chunk of change into hard drives that I still have laying around, but I'm using several of them and have a sweet gaming rig that I would've built eventually anyway and had something to talk to my dad about. So basically, just out the cost of some drives. All in all, it was a calculated risk that didn't pay off but was still fun.

Gold coins. I bought at the all-time high.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Isn't the all-time high now?

Jesus, I got suckered hard by the 'elio' bullshit. When I was looking around for vehicles, the promise of a really affordable (lol, that should have been a clue) and gas efficient car was amazing. Plus, they already had a working car (lol, should've looked a little closer at those videos to see the duck tape) and were setting up their factory!

Before I gave reddit the finger, I would check in on the sub that was posting the obviously bullshit updates when they came out. There were at least a few of us who wanted to keep joking about that fucking joke.
