I went to my local game store that's been overrun by funkos the other day. Saw a big box of Star Wars funko keychains by the register for like $6 a piece. In miniature funko boxes even.

The girl working said my game purchase earned me a free one if I wanted it. I had to say no. They used to give out little buttons or some other gaming related stuff, but now it's more funkos.

I would've taken the free Funko just to BBQ the thing, I seriously don't get the appeal. with the money and time that people toss into Funkos they could learn how to make their own crappy fan art instead.

Building off the nightmare of the 6k Star Wars hotel, how about a fucking NIGHTMARE MCMANSION NEIGHBORHOOD where you can own your own Consoomer Home?

Bugs had the right idea all along.

Imagine having the money to buy a property and you do this. The Villages for kidults.

The cruel irony is that it's cheaper than a condo in my home town. In fact, when you do the housing market math, this is actually affordable and within range of normal people.
Disney Hell : $8,450,033 for 9,056 SQ FT , 6 beds, 7 baths versus New York Hell: $169,000,000 for 8,255 sqft, 6 beds and 9 baths.

Go and read some of the stories and testimonies from former or current Disney cast members. The work culture at Disney parks is very cult like and they get you to drink the kool aid early and often.

Got any links/websites that collect them?
I fucking love Disney horror stories, but I only ever see the occasional one on le-reddit and stuff.

As someone who lived in an HOA neighborhood as a kid... the thought of a Disney© HOA puts the fear of god in me

They literally own parts of California and have their own private police force. Some non-consoom neighborhoods have a Disney HOA.

Not really, the stories that I've read and heard were either first hand from former cast members or were from things like comments sections.
 
Today I bring "Food Review" TikToks. They make me feel bad.






 
Recently been picking up more PM's and stumbled upon pic's related while looking at silver. Here's a link so you can check out their whole catalog. https://www.jmbullion.com/silver/themed-silver/chibi-silver-coins/

Two things:
1. That chibi artstyle reminds me of that youtuber Brew
2. I'm retarded when it comes to precious metals, but if you wanted to sell it for it's weight in silver, would the paint affect the resale value? From what I understand some of silver's value comes from the fact that you can melt it with other similar types of silver to make things like ingots, but wouldn't the paint mess with the purity or whatever? Or could the smelter just use acetone or some chemical to get the paint off before melting?

Again, be patient with the second item, I have little to no idea about precious metals or how the process works.

Silver melts at about 1700F, any paint that's on there will be long gone and burnt away at that point.

Who would buy these? Is anyone on social media bragging about having them?

not that I know of, can't imagine consoomer's are into stacking PM's. I'd imagine they'd be more into crypto as its a lot more mainstream. I know some people give their relatives silver/gold as gifts to try and get them into stacking maybe that's what this is intended for. I don't really get the appeal otherwise, they could've done a cool coin design without plastering paint or whatever they used on top. Also a thing to note for those not into PM's they're asking for 3-4 times the going price of an oz of silver.
 
Speaking of Funkopop, has anyone else noticed those fake videos on YouTube where a guy cuts his figures heads to check if they have a miniature or a fake brain inside? It’s harmless fun but people in the comments are salty as hell because “he’s hurting the collecting community”.

If anything that'd HELP the collecting community! Its just more artificial scarcity to jack up the prices!
