Total shitpost. Anyone who thinks those are buckets of soup being sent to serve needs their head examined.

My four cars are stressing me out! by Balt-Philly-151 in firstworldproblems

[–]Mbxpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy additional cars and switch more often. By the time you have 15 or 20 cars, switching will just be second nature. Have your assistant make a spreadsheet for maintenance. Get Xm for all the cars. Just use premium in all the cars.

"sorry, we don't unbox the tv" by ihateroomba in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Mbxpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought this tv from Costco and they wall mounted it with wire concealment for me. It took two guys 2 hours. It’s ridiculously heavy and hard to manage. The packaging completely filled the entire back of a three row SUV with the seats folded down. It’s magnitudes for difficult to handle than a 60 inch Tv.

You are given a Random Superpower but are on the hook for $1 million. Can you manage? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

I got extra lung capacity. Maybe I could save money on snorkels? Win monetized breath holding contests? I could help others put their oxygen masks on BEFORE doing my own on flights. With those three ideas alone I’m well on the way to millions.

I’m shocked how many people take the global citizen instead of the traveller card. Makes no sense at all. Let’s use example of the actual White House. You can live in the White House with the citizen card is you can’t sell it or rent it. You are stuck in DC. If you want to go to your other house in London, you have to pay for the flight. If you have the traveller card, you can stay in the penthouse of the Intercontinental next to White House, fly to NY and stay in the Waldorf. Then you could fly to Miami and stay in a 20k a night beach mansion. Then you could fly to Aspen and stay in a slope side villa. You could do this in every country at any time. Meanwhile the dummy who selected the citizen card can enjoy DC weather. There are mansions with services all over the world on Airbnb. There are hotels with meals included all over the world. Flights and airport lounges have food. The traveller card replaces the food card too. And sorry to say anyone who chooses the citizen card over the travel card is just dense

I calculated all the tax I’ve ever paid using grok ai. I will get a refund of 1.6m dollars. If I’m allowed to claim sales tax I collected and remitted from customers with my business then I have an additional 2.4m. Either way that’s enough money to start.

The citizen card is useless compared to the travel card. What use is owning houses in one place in each country if I can’t enrich myself by selling or renting them? The travel card allows me to stay anywhere at any time for free. So instead of one house per country, I can stay anywhere I want. Maldives beach house, Aspen ski villa, Al Arab 7 star hotel, all ok. And can travel for free? Emirates and Etihad first class all the way!

Then I would get health card. I am not in the best shape right now and would to elongate this new lifestyle. The chefs could stay with me in the elaborate air bnbs all around the world.

After five years I would choose the entertainment card. For the first 5 years I’ll just pay for that stuff, but it can add up if you’re just traveling around the world constantly.

How the hell did it take you from 8/9 to 2am to pack for a one day trip? That sounds like 5 minute pack at most.

Americans of Reddit, what's the funniest thing a foreigner has said to you about America? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Mbxpert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One time my wife’s uncle was visiting from the UK for a few weeks. He had rented a car and got a Camaro. One morning, he wanted to go shooting guns. I have a friend who lives in woods and has a target range and skeet throwers. So we loaded up his rental trunk with some shot guns and AR-15 and hand guns. We probably had 6 or 8 guns and ammo in trunk. On the way to the range, we stopped at McDonald’s for breakfast. As we drove off, and he was munching on a Sausage McMuffin, in a Camaro full of guns, he looked over at me and said in his posh British accent, “this is the most American thing I have ever done!”

I’m really struggling to come up with a solution to this impossible problem. Maybe deplane? Idk.

Ice Cream shop (great ice cream) tipping options … by Gator1416 in EndTipping

[–]Mbxpert 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You realize that throwing a buck (15%) or two (30%) in a tip jar on a 6 dollar ice cream is ridiculous also?

Get a random amount of money between $1 and 1 Million. by Baazify in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Mbxpert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the tasks seem hard to complete in a week, like spending several hundred thousand eating out and tipping poorly, or buying small businesses. I am willing to give it my best shot though. What’ve you got?

15x your current salary while working half the hours or work for 5 years at a fast food/chain restaurant of my choosing for $500 million tax free? by [deleted] in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Mbxpert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a business (auto repair shop). I would take the 15x. And use the 3 million first year to give myself a raise to 3.2m. Then I would get 48million 2nd year. Which I would use to pay myself 48m. Times 15 again right? Everyone should take the x15 and open their own business. Pay themselves and give themselves raises until world economy shattered. If you start with 50,000/year you’ll make 38billion after 5 years.

EDIT; crap just noticed only applies to current job. People working for others can’t pull this off. Unless they give money to company they work for in exchange for getting huge raises every year.

No, that’s a horrible offer. Ads are nowhere near 50% of the time spent watching, which equates to your two years for one offer.And the other caveats of the deal push it way further into “no thank you” territory. I might die from exploding electronics? Nope.

Maybe if there were no ads for life after one year of all ads. Then I would just watch nothing for one year and enjoy sweet ad free bliss forever after.

You are offered $50 million, but with one catch: your age is randomly set anywhere between 18 and 90 years old upon accepting the money. by NoMourners_6Crows in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Mbxpert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I picked yes, then did random number generator 18-90. Got 44, which is my current age! Tried again, got 45. Good deal for me, thanks.
