Hot air rework setup and inventory for modding GPUs to maximum DRAM.

Food banks.

CDs (certificates of deposit)

Boring but effective.

I'd spend half on hookers and blow, the other half I'd just waste

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

For someone to clean my house (totally douche this place out), get rid of all the accumulated crap (like haul away the stuff to the dump or w/e), and then get the flooring done. All the floors. Wood, actually wood.

Ugh that would be so freaking niiiiice.

[–] LORDSMEGMA@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Pay off my credit card and then that guy's mortgage

[–] dukeofdummies@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Probably dump it all into my mortgage.

I think that would actually give me the most bang for the buck.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Put it all in Google/Facebook ads that just say “Release the Epstein Files!”

[–] melonhusk@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Fixing the leaky roof finally, then a really good gaming chair, and whatever's left on a ridiculous amount of fancy snacks. no way i'm letting that money just evaporate.

Skidsteer, beep beep motherfuckers.

Would have to be cover the roof in solar panels and a battery set-up. Suddenly no electricity bills would be sick, then you add the potential to make money however miniscule instead... With no up front real cost it's a no brainer to me

Paying less than 20k due to conversion of my 85k UK student loan debt wouldn't be worth it

I work in I.T and have some gear at home for tinkering. US$20k would disappear really fast.

An e-bike and hookers and blow

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Boat.

Saving up for one now, but 20k should get me there.

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

20k is a drop in a bucket when it comes to boats. The maintenance, etc. is a significant ongoing expense. And if it’s the kind of boat you keep at a marina and not on a trailer in your driveway then that’s another huge expense. There’s a reason people call boats a hole in the water that you throw money into…

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 5 points 1 day ago

Spend a couple thousand on high quality gear for a home server to back up my digital stuff.

Spend a couple thousand on high quality outdoor gear like hiking boots and wool clothing (socks, long underwear). Buy a small tent to replace the really old one with the shitty zipper.

I have one or two more payments on my vehicle, so pay that off.

Put whatever I can into retirement savings and invest the rest in something mostly stable, like a mutual fund or whatever balances it out across multiple stocks.

[–] zxqwas@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

A, gun, 5000 rounds of ammunution and then clear out the supermarkets of non perishable food.

Debt. Though honestly I'd ask my extended friends if they wanted to a down payment on a house first.

I don't think anyone is stuck renting but if I could fix that in a day I'd check with everyone

[–] GaryGhost@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago

We could really use a second vehicle. I want one of those Japanese trucks with the tiny engines and folding truck bed. Good on gas and can still haul things around for diy projects.

Anything left over would go to a GoFundMe or a Gaza aid relief. If I already had that second vehicle id probably donate half and invest the other half into gold, for emergencies.

My country's currency is shit. Having this much money is enough to build a big house.

My roof needs attention. I'd easily spend the whole $20 and some of my own.

[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

20 k is not that much in today's dollars.

I am sure debt, cars, or medical bills are thebtop answers.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

So, this is just the dollar store version of Brewsters Millions, then?

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 4 points 1 day ago

I’d do like that one guy did on the streets of New York. Cash it all out into $1 bills and just make it rain. But I’d prefer do it in the struggling mountain towns around me.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

giving it to an independent cat rescue shelter

[–] rarsamx@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

I'd send them to the builder if my beach house to finally finish, but in sure he'll still ask for more.
