I start casting them into bullets.

[–] A404@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 days ago

Gold is too soft to use as bullets. They would splinter before they leave the barrel.

Divided evenly and then backhand whoever thought it was necessary to AI generate a picture of some fucking bars of gold for no reason. (The text is weird and smeary and all of the bars are inconsistent sizes)

[–] A404@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 days ago

😓 I didn't realize it was an AI image

Try to get rid of the golden wrap to get the chocolate inside

I can't believe me and my comrades found 5k worth of gold. I'd go pay all my taxes and report to all relevant authorities about the 5k we found.

[–] TwiddleTwaddle@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

4k worth of gold will be such a boon to our local economy even after paying our rightful taxes on the 3k windfall

[–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I am sure that taxes from the 2k declaration will go to good use, who would turn down the tax on that 1k unexpected discovery

Suddenly our housing has strange non-oxidizing gutters and window frames.

[–] anzo@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

All with that little ounce we found in the garden? Amazing!

[–] sam_the_tech@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Since it’s only 1k in gold I would just split it with my buddy and call it a day!

[–] Svartis@piefed.blahaj.zone 24 points 1 week ago

meet up with the members of our garden to see how we use/distribute it

[–] Trigger2_2000@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago

Re-bury it of course. How do you think it grew there in the first place?

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why would I worry about finding gold in a communal garden, when the Flock cameras that are located everywhere have upwards of $30,000 worth of gold and rare earth minerals for salvage.

[–] infinitesunrise@slrpnk.net 12 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Walk it over to the communal gold-plated semiconductors workshop, drop it off in their materials stockpile.

This is the second topic on Lemmy asking specifically what one would do with 50k. What is going on?

[–] black0ut@pawb.social 5 points 1 week ago

The image is AI too, which adds to the sus

[–] A404@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

Must be a coincidence lol

[–] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 8 points 1 week ago

Invest it in Nvidia or Bitcoin, I am telling you man, no way they go down frfr

[–] PieMePlenty@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)
  1. Tell everyone to back off immediately on first sighting of gold
  2. Place safety cones all around and cordon off the area
  3. Call the police and inform them exactly of what was found

Try to discern how long it's been buried there and who it might belong to and why they buried it. If it's one of the members, we now have to eliminate them. Things are about to get real complicated...

[–] snoons@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

Store it for alchemical purposes.

[–] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Me and the homies all get iced out grillz. Next demo is gonna be lit.

[–] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 5 points 1 week ago

I'll likely have to keep the gold for safekeeping and protect it with my life. My so-called comrades are not to be trusted. In fact I already hear them conspiring against me. Will have to take them out, shovel to their faces, hide the bodies, shallow graves.

The gold is mine AND MINE ONLY!!!

[–] SavinDWhales@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

50k (USD) gold would be... a cube about an inch wide?

The picture shows gold bars worth several million USD, I'd say (though I never handled even a small gold bar).

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Upgrades people, upgrades

Also paying for medical and court expenses the communities around have and keeping reserves

Btw in greece we do have a running court case of anarchists that is gonna cost around 50k...


Kinda related:

The other day I was thinking that if you give like 1-10millions of euros to the anarchist movement in greece we could do huuuge stuff. I think we could easily topple the gov (but not the system). Kinda funny how that little money could have such a huge impact

[–] A404@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How many anarchists are there in greece?

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 1 points 6 days ago

About a bazillion give or take

(Ok, umm, it's hard to estimate, I'd say around 1-2% of the population?? Could it be stretched to 5%? Shrug, lets just say 1.5%)

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

Invest in the stock market! Maybe use it as a down payment on a rental property and become a landlord. If my comrades are forward looking enough maybe get some crypto or NFTs.

[–] A404@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

We would probably use it to open up a soup kitchen or something i dunno.

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Call the museum
