  • scam=people stop investing

    Crypto, blockchain products, NFT's, magnetic bracelets, alkaline water, magic crystals...you are severely underestimating the average human's ability to be constantly scammed

  • Unironically this. I knew a guy who used pandemic remote work ubiquitousness to buy a huge farm, move to it, start growing all the food he and his family needed all while working as a software dev. He hated "work" but LOVED working.

  • Racoon sex attic house.

    piss and nicotine soaked walls that, after a hot shower, would be running sticky yellow.

    The back wall of the house was slowly separating from the rest of the house. There was a 1cm gap where the wall met the ceiling in the back room.

    The back yard was rocks and 4ft tall weeds. I cut them all down with a combo of machete and weed Wacker day one and a year later that pile of weeds had yet to decompose. It was just a huge wet pile of slime that refused to rot away.

    Neighbors had about 7 webcams pointing out of their front window at whoever walked past the house. They had bible phrases painted on the fence and front of the house as well. I walked over to say hi a few days after moving in an no one ever answered the door. In three years, I saw an occupant of that house ONCE, which was a teenager that knocked on my door at 3am to ask me if I had a lighter. I watched him walk back to that house after I said no.

  • Do you have an all-in-one liquid cooler on your CPU by any chance? Something like this

    I've had one of these leak slow enough that after 7ish years the liquid evaporated and my CPU killed itself.

    I had another fail the same way but I caught that one before the CPU failed.

  • deregulation in Texas always leads to worse quality of life. Everyone who runs things in this state since the 90's will take things too far, and leave the mess for the public to live with. I'm sure it works great elsewhere, but here you'll have chemical manufacturerers dumping waste into middle school playgrounds and the state government passing laws to protect the business owners from lawsuits.

    This one is just one I personally remember reading about, there are many more such cases

    tl;dr: roofing company bought a random lot in a neighborhood and used it as a dumping ground for years and it was all perfectly legal because of Dallas's deregulation.
