The brothers who came up with Facebook were paid $100 million and live a life of luxury to this day. Feels a bit different than suicide and alcoholism.

Cuz most people on Reddit are young and stupid. And they’re not even considering the revenue it will generate when people pay to come see it or where ever it ends up will bring people to that location and generate all kinds of good things.

I do the same thing. I also only wash them once I’ve used all pairs so that they are all washed equally and will wear out semi evenly.

I think a great way is to find a woodworker in your area. They will make you awesome furniture. It won’t be cheap but it will absolutely last for life, you would be supporting them, and they’ll make you anything you want which will make it a one if a kind piece of furniture.

It was made up of 3 toxic/hallucinogenic compounds belladonna (atropine), stramonium (nightshade/jimson weed), and potassium perchlorate (oxidant commonly used in fireworks). One common delivery method for Asthmador - cigarettes! by Geek_Nan
Almost all drugs are just chemicals. We just choose to legalize some and regulate them and call a handful “recreational”. When really they’re pretty much all the same thing…just some are regulated/controlled/taxed.

Well. They pretty obviously came up with Facebook but an idea and execution are two very different things. Zuckerberg made it was it is. If the brothers did it themselves we may not have fb today. It may have died. So they’re lucky a smart person “stole” it and made it into a multibillion dollar company and they got paid a shit ton for it. They were lucky imo. They claimed they lost out on billions. I say they got paid just for their idea and doing nothing else.
