Spendrill@lemm.eeto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you feel about someone taking the coins people tossed into a fountain or other public waterworks display for "wishes?"15·4 months agoWhoever owns the fountains owns the money.
If someone throws money into a fountain and then wishes then that in itself is a complete transaction with whichever supernatural entity is being bargained with.
I am assuming that any entity which is powerful enough to grant wishes is also powerful enough to hang onto the money if that should be its wish.
Alternatively it’s a quaint custom that people engage in as a form of custom and the pleasure comes with a link to the tradition.
The periodic clearing out of the fountains is both necessary maintenance and a form of income that pays for said maintenance. No one is really harmed by this.
But only if you really mean it.
Good, for everyone involved. I do wish people would stop with the performative jealousy because Hollywood has taught them to think that way.

Lemme tell ya: friend of mine showed me a graph showing that we had historically low levels of CO2. Took me a while to catch on but it didn’t have the Holocene individually marked, it was mostly concerning the epochs before mankind arrived. So the argument is totally irrelevant to the discussion of greenhouse gasses. Unless… unless you could convince yourself that there were lost civilisations that existed in distant pre-history. Of course there’s absolutely zero evidence for these… must be a cover-up.
It’s a funny thing, I used to a werewolf but I’m alright noooooooow.

Just have to make our globe working model dense enough to distort space-time and then spin it at a thousand miles an hour. 'Course this will require a working model of the sun to power the working model of the Earth.
Wouldn’t catch me holding on to any animal with that look on its face.
All I see is the goofy face those two chairs and the reflection under the table is making
Spendrill@lemm.eetoInsanePeopleFacebook@lemmy.world•Sovcit got sent to a department called Frivolous Returns. Sounds correct.15·1 year agoMuch as I find it difficult to sympathise with bureaucracies, can’t help but feel the Frivolous Returns dept. might be the alter-ego of the ‘Now, Don’t Be A Cunt’ department.
Spendrill@lemm.eetoInsanePeopleFacebook@lemmy.world•Sovcit got sent to a department called Frivolous Returns. Sounds correct.27·1 year agoDear Sir/Madam
We wrote to you upon receipt of your tax return informing you that it had been passed to our Frivolous Returns department for further examination. That examination is now complete.
It is with regret that we have to inform you that you are clown shoes. We think it is possible that the doctor may have mistakenly certified a placenta in your case.
As unlikely as it seems that you are actually earning a taxable income you should probably pass this matter over to a competent adult to help you with the self-assessment process.
Clown shoes, bud.

I mean, if there were a serious prospect of winning it would pay for itself. Unfortunately it would probably involve the Supreme Court paying for itself.

At least it would enable the sovcits to see what a magic get out of jail free card actually looks like from the front row.
I’m not an American so I don’t know if this is possible but could not a lawyer start a class action using all the sovereign citizens as complainants against a credit card company on the basis that said company did not do their due diligence before issuing cards to people so unhinged they couldn’t possibly have entered into a contract with someone that required informed consent?
I feel like putting these people on the stand for about five minutes each would give ample supporting evidence of the proposition.
Oh sweet summer child, your dad knows parts of the internet you have barely seen in your dreams.
Needs this to be in the middle.
Ready to get knocked up and then knocked about? That’s the Chav-life.
