It is with a heavy heart I announce the sale of my long term ape, Salazar. Most of my early followers know me as this ape. My kids know me as this ape. I met my wife when I WAS this ape and had my first kid when I was still proudly wore this ape. By extension, it is part of me.
I’m sure his wife and kids are deeply relieved by this news.
Yeah, but those aren’t required dress code or anything. Most of us just make some shit up out of our heads that sounds cool and go with it. Then we’ll fill all our online gaming and social media account profiles with it.
I mean, ha ha funny joke, but realistically, yes. Someone with no money and no friends or family with money is a waste to advertise to. You fly under the radar by virtue of being a statistically bad investment. You’ll still get hit with all the same shotgun-style advertisement that the rest of us do, but you’re unlikely to find yourself being a priority for targeted advertisement. It’s a little bit of a silver lining to an unhappy situation.
When a homeless person asks me for money and I tell them I’m unemployed and live on the basic income the state gives me they say they’re sorry and wish me good luck, they know lol

I wasted 15 minutes of my life to understand why he is staying that “blur” is crashing the price of that jpg
It looks like that there’s a new nft marketplace that created some shitcoin as a reward for users. When someone trades a jpg , the platform print this worthless monopoly money and give as a reward for the user. Because there’s dumb people that is buying this monopoly money thinking that surely it would be worth something, whales are exchanging those jpgs between them in order to get the free monopoly money as a gift, so they can dump them immediately and buy more jpgs to exchange.
the ape floor price has tumbled from 85e down to 12e.

Sell all remilia assets held by ANY members of the blur team and publicly denounce @CharlotteFang77
As of today, March 28, 2024, Pacman has refused to acknowledge our letter.
Man, sometimes you just read something and realize how much you don’t know about other people’s hobbies, how in-depth they can go, and how they can have their own lingo and weird terms where stuff like the “ape floor price” is a thing, not just 3 random words next to eachother, their own culture, their own values that you didn’t even know about, their own little world somewhere on earth. It’s kinda beautiful. You can’t help but think “what do these words mean to you, strange creature? Why have you repurposed them and created new ones? Why have you constructed your own little world where they all make sense, did you not like being a part of the world we shared before? Was Pacman not the best version of himself in our world, that you had to build another and allow him to fulfill his potential?”
And sometimes you read it and just think “thank fuck I don’t know anything about this, what a waste of fucking brainpower”

What a scam, my fursona didnt cost me anything
Fursuits are expensive AF, but they are quality products custom made by skilled artisans.

During dating: “and then i spent $300k to buy this monkey jpg…”
Wow, if this is actually sincere and not a gift of some kind… this person is really sad and pathetic.
Most scams prey on people with more money than friends.
Ohhh so they don’t target me because I don’t have either!

Oh don’t worry I was cutting along the ‘funny because it’s true’ line.
Some of the shotgun stuff would get me, if I could buy basic amenities without crying.
I’m full on with team silver lining, I have a roof, for now.

Yep, every single time. If I have some smokes I don’t mind sharing though, at least.
I’m sooo glad I don’t smoke, I don’t know how I didn’t start
I don’t really smoke either, honestly. Like maybe some weed but usually I just carry mini cigars for a social thing.
I must be invulnerable to scams then

What a waste of compute energy
but what kind of protest is “I’ll have no choice but to sell the ape”?
like even if your “threat” is losing you as a member of the community, you’re still selling it to somebody else who will just take your place
I have no idea how someone can say this with a straight face
Wtf did I read lol, half way through I thought I was having a stroke, apes vs Pacman!
