Yeah, I doubt the "live for free in the metaverse" part. If there even will be a real usable metaverse, it won't be free.

We currently have more than enough production and "wealth" for the entire planet to be a "post scarcity society". The only problem that remains is that we don't treat the people that hoard wealth the same way we treat the people that hoard cats or newspaper.

it will be free as in "free"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

There's a good show called upload about this

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Woo, this is new. Pay for PIZZA in 6 weeks. Is this real?

Can you give me verify source. I would like to know more.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This is what the meme is referring to I believe. Over a year ago this happened.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Strange knowledge have been completely absorbed

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That sounds different but equally fucked up. BNPL companies are really pieces of shit btw, having dealt with them on the other side of the curtain.

Reminds me of the hamburger guy from the old popeye cartoons.

"I'll gladly pay you next Thursday for a hamburger today"

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

*"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today"

FTFY

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Thanks, fixed it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

This is what the meme is referencing I believe.

Don't know what the surprise is now in my country we have local financing for rent in quotes! Can't pay your rent? Don't worry, get more debt!

Or EverQuest II and the good old /pizza command.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

This one hits home so to speak, can't decide if I like it or hate it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Interesting...

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Is it just me, or is Dominos not only ridiculously expensive, but also not even that good?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

It is expensive if you do not use the coupons that are available 100% of the time. With coupons you can get 3 pizzas for like $20. Otherwise it is like $25 for one crappy pizza.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Like with most big chains, the appeal is not so much quality but consistency. You know no matter where you are when you order a domino's pizza you'll get the same thing you would at your local one.

Also I've heard domino's is worse in the US than other places.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

It's pretty rubbish in many other countries as well. Consistent in that regard, too!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Chances are everyone has a local pizza place that does better and cheaper pizza than Dominos.

Just brand recognition and the fact that you know what you're getting, I suppose. Plus they've always got offers on to reduce the frankly eye-watering default prices.

Costco pizza is great for the price (like £7.99 for an 18" pizza), but they only do three varieties and one of them is just cheese. We're not Kevin from Home Alone. And just getting one is an arduous trek.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Why would I finance a pizza from Dominos when there are plenty of local places that will let me finance a pizza at a lower APR?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Is the "finance a Domino's pizza" real, or a meme?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Not sure, but I know its possible to finance groceries on Instacart

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a meme. It might be a real ad saying that you can pay for products in different "slices" with a Dominos logo slapped on, but I doubt it.

This is however happening with other goods that are way too cheap to need to be financed. Closest example I could find

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Do you have an article that isn't paywalled?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What kind of bum finances a fucking pizza lmao?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Go check out Caleb Hammer on YouTube. People are paying 30% on everything lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I means it's really not that different to paying for a pizza on a credit card

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Damn now I'm hungry for pizza

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You don't "Google" something... that's not a real word in that context. Do you "Ask" someone when searching?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I don't know. Let me Google that.
