In the video game Satisfactory there is a building that allows you to “sink” excess items in exchange for coupons, which you can then use to purchase things from the company store. If you feed a coupon back into the sink, the game unlocks a cybertruck that you can purchase in the store. I still haven’t figured out if that’s a reward or punishment.
In a game a CT might be real useful if endowed with the right magick.
IRL? Not so much. 
I saw one a few days ago in a sky blue wrap. It was damn near stealthy. Real hard to see. The combo of odd shape and odd color just didn’t trigger my “that’s an oncoming vehicle” recognizer until real late.
You may have already won! But if you fail to send back the Publishers Clearing House vouchers…
According to my math, Elon can provide $300k and a Tesla to nearly half a million people and still be the richest man in the world. Are we absolutely certain this isn’t legit, and just his latest promotional scheme?
…& the corollary, if real police want to arrest you, they are going to show up when they want to, unannounced; they are NOT going to call you first, giving you the opportunity to either flee or barricade yourself before they get there but not come if you give them money, or even better, gift cards.
Too often the situation is:
- Give warning/advance notice
- Get around to actually raiding the place
- Finding an empty building
- Announcing “Problem solved! You’re welcome!”
We’ve linked a lot of scams in this thread:
And @Mangetout and @running_coach have a lot of experience identifying and playing with scammers. But by the noodle-y appendages of the FSM, they will do and say almost anything if they think they’ve got a live one on the line. It’s all about creating that sense of urgency, or, alternately, praying upon the lonely or isolated, as stated here and there.
Right? I asked my wife about this last night. It just doesn’t make sense. On the Reddit thread some people were offered a million dollars plus a car. As if a million dollars is not enough incentive.
Exactly. For last place its a fleet.
He’s that great pocket fisherman in the sky.
I had one quite awhile ago that the grand prize was a BMW dealership, 20 million United State Dollar and a new BMW of my choice.
If somebody gave me a BMW dealership and $20M, I’m getting a Rolls Royce, not another steenkin’ BMW.
After all, a Roller is really a just BMW 7-series with a different body and interior. So at least my minions can still work on it.
The dealership doesn’t already come with BMWs. That’s why they give you the BMW. That’s a seed BMW.
So I can grow a BMW tree? * runs off to hire a backhoe *
Most BMWs are sterile
Nope, don’t you know anything, that’s not where new cars come from. When a mamma BMW & a poppa BMW love each other very much…
… the ensuing collision is very, very expensive? 
so you’re saying I should Bring My Wallet?
Hers too.
