Ah yes. How to get by without a job:

  • Fraud (false warranty claims)
  • Theft (stealing coins from vending machine)
  • Gambling (crypto)
  • Literally just self-employment (starting a drop shipping business/flipping things on eBay)
[-] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 19 points 3 months ago

yeah you're only allowed to do those things if you have a net worth over 25 million

[-] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

"Lifehack: Literally just steal"

Crypto trade

There's where all the money went I guess. Gotta steal toilet paper to leverage that crypto position. (After you've already lost everything several times)

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

You can make significant money by trading crypto peer-to-peer. It is incredibly risky but you can make around 6-7% profit after fees. I made around 2,000-3,000 USD monthly, moving around 40,000 USD in volume. The main risks are chargebacks and account closures.

It wasn't free money, of course. But the profit-to-effort ratio is pretty high once you figure out how to weed the good clients from the bad (scammers who will pay, receive crypto, and then dispute the payment).

Do not ask me how to do this and do not reply to anyone who comments below claiming to know how, because they're probably a scammer.

Investments are not effort-to-profit. They are risk-to-profit.

There is no such a thing as risk-free investing. If there is an investment with good returns, it means it's just as easy to lose all that money.

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

This is not investing. I did not ever hold significant amounts of cryptocurrency. People would ask me to sell them crypto and then I'd buy it on a crypto exchange and then sell it to them.

I do not believe holding cryptocurrency qualifies as "investing". It is much closer to gambling as the entire valuation is purely speculative. I get that all investing is gambling to some extent, but it's not the same as stocks, for example, because holding stocks gives you voting rights for a company's board of directors and entitles you to a portion of the company's profits in the form of dividends.

There is risk, of course, but it is not market risk.

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Don't call it investment if you don't want to, but there's no such thing as easy money.

If there's a way to earn money with little effort it means that there's a big risk.

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

As stated in the previous comment:

There is risk, of course, but it is not market risk

I understand and agree with everything you said.

[-] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 months ago

A high effort to profit ratio would mean a lot of effort for a little profit.

[-] NateNate60@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I meant to say profit-to-effort. I fixed it

That's being a dealer, when people say trader they mean something else

[-] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 80 points 3 months ago

All this put together sounds like a job

[-] calcopiritus@lemmy.world 35 points 3 months ago

A less ethical, worse paid, more hours than a job.

[-] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 20 points 3 months ago

Yeah! I can’t be bothered with all this shit, I’ll just be a wagie instead.

[-] RandomGuy79@lemmy.world 56 points 3 months ago

That seems like a lot of constant hustle to get out of having an actual job

[-] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 15 points 3 months ago

it is legitimately better than having a real job though. I absolutely hate working for myself but working for somebody else is even worse

[-] Subverb@lemmy.world 44 points 3 months ago

This is why companies have cheap toilet paper by the way. Not because they necessarily hate their employees, but because it would get stolen and they'd need three times as much.

Also one of the reasons why the huge rolls exist like you see at airports: impractical to use at home.

[-] nxdefiant@startrek.website 10 points 3 months ago

I stole one of those huge rolls from college once. It dispenses just fine on the floor.

[-] Halosheep@lemm.ee 15 points 3 months ago

Yeah but then you're wiping floor on your ass.

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

College, they've done worse to themself.

[-] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

Floor spice makes everything nice!

[-] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

I would steal it from the train when I was homeless

[-] lengau@midwest.social 5 points 3 months ago
[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Do people find changing the roll that much of a hassle?

[-] BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Depending on the bathroom, some universities have decent TP. I'd say research buildings that you don't need card access to get in. Most of those I've worked at seem to be decent.

[-] Jolteon@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

Huh, I always assume that it was because cheap toilet paper was cheap, and big rolls meant you didn't have to replace them as often.

[-] Dasnap@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Why not both?

[-] SuddenDownpour@sh.itjust.works 29 points 3 months ago

What I got from this is that Anon is undergoing serious financial struggles and is trying to scrape by.

[-] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Idk why op would be buying Sennheiser or Corsair peripherals if they're struggling.i just got that op is cheap af.

[-] Manzas@lemdro.id 3 points 3 months ago

Maybe bought used with like 3 months of warranty?

[-] c0ber@lemmy.ml 25 points 3 months ago

is it normal to have separate wifi networks for different people in the same apartment?

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 21 points 3 months ago

If they act like that their flatmate has every right to keep ot from them assuming they don't contribute to the bill.

[-] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 17 points 3 months ago

Sending in Sennheisers for warranty is silly. Their headphones are basically bullet proof, at least their typical wired open cans.

[-] Justas@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago

I have a Bluetooth headset made by Sennheiser. It's battery died in the first two years of use. So I bought a new battery, except it was bigger.

When I opened it up it turned out that they have thought about someone wanting a bigger battery and I only needed to break a couple of small plastic pieces to fit a longer battery in. The headset has worked fine since.

[-] hswolf@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Indeed, same with audio technica, god I love their headphones

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

Anon is NEET but has a flatmate? Isn’t part of being NEET living with parents?

[-] FeelThePower@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 months ago

not necessarily. some people get on unemployment and ride it out for years.

[-] Omgboom@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Some people get on SSDI and sell magic wands on Etsy and beg for money on YouTube, shoutout to the Dark Lord KingCobraJFS, That's whats up!

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

crypto and dropshipping and lock picking vending machines are all lies no homo
