If they ever remove the stickers, there will be a shadow from where it rusted less.

This thing surrounded the old, poorly maintained shitty buildings with "lofts for rent!" really is a good screencap for the times we live in under capitalism.

A time where the infrastructure is old, crumbling and expensive due to laissez-faire capitalism, while some rich moron who thinks crypto is a smart idea parades around in an overpriced grift of a toy.

Resources being allocated in the least efficient way possible.

Death to America

I've heard a mixture of 50/50 hydrogen peroxide and vinegar makes a great oxidizing agent

Just sayin

[–] btfod@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

I heard adding salt to this mixture makes it even more effective

If I ever see one of these I'm gonna start making water balloons

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That sounds dangerous to mix...

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It can be, but usually only in cases where a somewhat highly concentrated vinegar or peroxide solution are used, which is fairly uncommon (I think the peroxide needs to be above 90ish percent?)

For a safer option, you can always just use peroxide, salt, and water

[–] Alisu@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Oh peroxide is like 3% usually, so it should be safe then

I'm sorry, putting stickers on it voided the warranty.

Is everyone on this website based in Brooklyn, NY?

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm sadly Ohioan.

I am ready to accept your pity and/or scorn.

But you have the special chili from Cincinnati

[–] darkmode@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Rent or home purchases are supposed to be cheaper out there but they’re getting rid of that reality real soon!

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm just here for a show. I'm actually too cool for Brooklyn comfy-cool

[–] darkmode@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

More like brooklyn-cringe!

Not me I'm from india 😬

Population density maps to population density. Despite it feeling rude more people are here from more densely populated places.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Don't forget to spit on it!

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The cryptobro stickers makes it seem more like a meme than a serious purchase.

[–] CoolYori@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

I would respect them less than a person that did it because they are still into crypto.

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Hey, I’m a crypto fan. Wouldn’t buy this shit.

I’m kind of jealous Americans get to see how shit it is.

[–] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What does a crypto fan entail?

I’m interested in crypto. Where are you going with this?

[–] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was just gonna make fun of you for being interested in crypto lmao

[–] Wolfman86@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can do that by all means, you can make fun of the fact I vape too. I don’t care.

[–] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Wolfman86@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

LOL. Thanks.

Oh, Im veggie as well.

[–] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually all of that is just pretty normal. I'm vegetarian too, but the oddest part was your caginess. Okay but like, genuinely not gonna make fun of you for this, how are you a crypto guy but found hexbear and made an account on it. Like, surely you understand the zeitgeist that exists against crypto, for ecological and anti-gambling/anti-scam reasons. How do you juggle using a leftist space and also being pro-crypto. Like are you literally just personally invested because you stand to gain a lot of money or something? If we're being absolutely clear, I also threw money at a woo woo gambling thing, I lost thousands on GameStop back in the day. Just like, how, I'm not even gonna make fun of you dawg

[–] Wolfman86@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everything you said that is negative about crypto is also true of Fiat money.

No, crypto and stock markets aren’t left wing/socialist, but I’d like a shot at financial independence.

[–] LesbianLiberty@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Yes but fiat currency has the violent backing of the state. It's not that it means fiat currency is a strictly good thing, it's a tool used by States, but crypto has no state backing (The El Salvador thing is a meme lmao).

I mean I had to lose a lot of money on GME to have some sense knocked into me too, so, I can't blame you at all. I only hope you don't screw yourself over like I kinda did myself lol
