And yes you have to spend it all

Edit: There are a lot of little good things in these answers that I often ignore. Thanks everyone.

15$?

Register a domain name based on some hair brain fantasy for the year.

Then spend the year ideating and fantasizing about what might be while doing nothing.

Thats a whole year of value for 15 bucks.

I want rat cafes. Sadly there's only one, and it's in japan.

I just want to pet chaos potatoes while eating food that they are stealing from me

Give it to someone that needs it.

I think I'd buy some bugs for my lizard. Maybe some hornworms? They're very good for hydration and basically every reptile that eats bugs goes absolutely crazy for them!

If my buddy is happy, then I'm happy, too.

Here's a picture of my ugly boy, Pączki.

An icecream for me, one for my wife, and enough fuel to drive to the waterfront so we can eat them while sitting at the edge of the pier, swinging our legs.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 25 points 4 months ago

That's very sweet. I guess I'd do something similar: buy a crab bucket and a rope, and head down to the waterfront where I'd swim under piers and see how many people's dangling legs I can hook and pull under with the rope

It depends on what I'm trying to maximize.

If I just want the happiness spike ASAP, then I would just buy $15 worth of Magic cards, or maybe a booster pack or three, depending on the set.

If I'm trying to maximize my overall happiness over any amount of time, I think spending $15 on something reusable, like a nice pair of socks or a hat would work out for me.

If I want to maximize happiness in general, then spending it on someone else I care about does double duty. It makes someone else happy, and I get happiness from being involved in the process.

It's so hot right now I'd probably spend it on ice cream and/or frozen custard. Then be in the bathroom an hour later because I'm lactose intolerant.

I will spend it educating people that we write fifteen dollars as $15.

[-] AlolanYoda@mander.xyz 16 points 4 months ago

I would campaign for fifteen dollars to be written as 15$. The other way around makes no sense. Dollars is the unit, and you say "fifteen dollars" and not "dollars fifteen". That we landed on the backwards convention is a travesty.

Sure, 15$ wouldn't get me far, but it's a start!

Fellow lemmings, I, for one, would spend that 15 dollars on a copy of the "Barbie" movie on Blu-ray and digital, because nothing would make me happier.

Buy Minecraft, which apparently is on sale for $14.99. It's not quite as fun when all your friends have the official version and get to play together while you're stuck with an - *ahem* - unofficial version.

I sat here and thought about it, and I truly think I'd go to the dollar store, buy a few cheap water guns, and have a water fight with my sisters and their kids. Remember how fun water fights are??? Even those cheap little water guns; doesn't have to be fancy. Leftover money would go to popsicles.

[-] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 11 points 4 months ago

Fam sounds like you need to get out there and make this a reality. $15 is cheap compared to a good memory like this

convert it to $1 and $2 coins. get the best super glue I can for $12

buy a $1 bag of popcorn (go pop it at home)

glue the remaining $2 coin to the path somewhere visible and near a bench so I can watch.

sit, with popcorn, and watch people try to pick up the glued $2 coin for as long as I feel entertained

Honestly, one month of a service like Netflix or Disney. I'm against these services but I feel $15 will give great value for a month.

Put it towards a stupid sounding investment scheme that will turn those 15 into 5 within the month

I never had the income to do that. It sounds exciting. It's like gambling except it's considered classy instead of trashy.

Send a gift to a friend. I don't know what I would send, but it would make them happy and it would make me happy, so it's a win-win. Mind you,I should actually just do that

Do like GeoWizard. Pocket the money and start walking in a direction. See how far you can get on the money. Buy simple needed items like water and snacks. Accept charity. Speak with people. Seems extremely fulfilling!
