NFT’s are just the financial sector learning about rare Pepe’s
Owning things isn’t a hobby what a dumbass
…isn’t it?
Collecting things is also just owning stuff and that’s definitely a hobby
Yeah sure but with collecting stuff at least there’s the fun of looking for it or whatever and then showing it off. With NFT you just pay some money and anyone can look at the same shit on their cellphone whenever they want. Like I like NES games but I go to thrift stores and garage sales to try and find them and I also still play them. What the hell you supposed to do with an NFT. All there is is ownership.
I do hate people who are into rare sneakers and handbags tho
I used to work with a rare sneaker dweeb, and one time when he was showing off his new kicks, I “accidentally” stepped on his foot with my dirty boots. He took a swing at me and got suspended and put on probation. :soviet-playful:
I need to actually do some math but I have a terrifying suspicion that if we convinced every collector of funko pops to switch to being really into NFTs it might reduce over all carbon emissions. That does not make NFTs less dumb it’s just a bad thought I’ve had
EDIT: I did the math! I found papers on CO2 output and everything! And an NFT still produces >25 times as much CO2 over its lifetime as a fucking funko pop, a literal hunk of useless plastic!
EDIT 2: I did more math! The factor might be as low as 15 but still
Gazing upon the internet, a tool that enables the easy production and proliferation of information and thinking, “What if we restricted access to some of that information to make a quick buck? And what if the information we restricted was ugly-as-sin procedurally-generated cartoon monkeys?”
ugly-as-sin procedurally-generated cartoon monkeys
Never in a million years would I have guessed that would be what they love and crave. Although I did know of the Japanese clothing company A Bathing Ape even though I’m no fashionista.
I always thought the company’s name was sort of odd. Japan has monkeys. Photos of them “bathing” in the hot springs in winter are awesome.
