My idea is some non profit gets setup to manage a system where someone announces their mortgage and then they can have friends, family and second and third degree friends and families finance your loan.

Let's say someone buys a $250k house. Each person puts in $100 and then they get a receipt showing they are owed $200 against their 1/2500th share of the mortgage. Repayments are paid the $200 in return in a random time frame of between the first month to the last month 30 years later. Repayment is completely randomized, meaning you could get your money back really soon... Or a really long time from then.

There are a lot of other ways you could build on this idea.

In 2015, Cookie Monster filmed a viral video titled "Simply Delicious Shower Thoughts with Cookie Monster" for the Mashable YouTube channel. In the video, he explores various New York City museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim, while pondering deep "shower thoughts" about food.

My mom got so mad at the "WHY DO I OWE $1800 ON TAXES? CHECK IT AGAIN FOR ANY MISTAKES 😡"

🤣

Okay mom, just lose $36 every week throughout the year and you'd get a $70 refund lmfao, would you be happier that way?

🤣

If you include non-humans, then Stan from Dog with a Blog is the second adult protagonist, albeit a dog.

*Raven's Home stars Raven-Symoné as an adult in-canon, but I'm reluctant to include it since it is a spin-off of Raven's teenage character in That's So Raven.

If you accept movies and works where there is a shared protagonist role, then you could count Freaky Friday and I assume its spin-offs.

I mean... language and culture... not the actually underlying ability to love, but the "vibe" of the family dynamics...

Okay so I was reflecting on a bunch of stuff I read online...

So basically:

If:

American family adopts kid from China, at first the kid stuggle with English but then eventually learns it to communicate with family.

Meanwhile.

An immigrant family from China at first struggle with the outside world while being very close to parents (I mean they are the last part of the home of before, the outside world is all foreign)

Then as the kid grows up, learns more words and comcept in English...

But the vocabulary for Chinese never grows (for the most part)

Its basically the similar language attrition as the adoptee scenario (with a caveat of the language being slightly maintained through home usage), so they eventually drift away from Chinese to English...

But family still use Chinese...

So yea the language barrier eventually grows...

Meanwhile the adoptee scenario, the language barrier is eventually broken...

A bomb drops overseas, and a month later, an infant in a completely different hemisphere dies from a spike in gas prices.

​A 20% spike in gas prices feels like an annoyance to most of us, but mathematically, that 0.9% inflation bump translates to ~10 empty cribs and dozens of early funerals for the poorest families in 🇺🇸

At least, you'll have an idea of what's going on in your new dimension

So why do my cats dive in front of mine so frequently!?

Edit: 36 feet, not 36 inches XD

I'd say that's a good moment to take a breath and check whether this applies before proceeding.

(This obviously doesn't apply for celebrities.)
