No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do people get rid of or sell stolen jewelry? I ask cause the news says the the Louve thieves can never sell it because it so known?
2·4 days agoThe value rarely is in the jewelry, but rather in the jewels themselves. So, if you had stolen, for example, a gold ring with a big diamond, you’d take out the diamond and either sell it as-is, or chop it into smaller diamonds and sell them, and probably have the gold smelted back into raw material again. From what I know, it apparently is common for gems (especially very valuable ones) to be given as gifts or traded and fitted into new settings, like rings, necklaces, crowns etc. over the course of centuries, not just stay in the same piece forever.
What I think is most likely in this case, is that some rich asshole wanted to have them for their private collection and hired someone to steal them.
Ah yes, “the” civil war.
Well, for starters, almost nobody’s going on a plane or cruiser trip anymore.
edit: oh wait it says 2000s not 2020s
You can also use a chive leaf as a straw. It’ll affect the taste, but it’s fun to eat it afterwards
gardening, stealing, charity
The difference is that here the characters appear to have chosen poverty in order to embrace a simple, ascetic lifestyle; they are not forced into it by circumistances outside their control, or at least the artist makes no effort to imply so.
don’t even do a good job cleaning them.
yeah, if they’re shitty ones
hang a curtain dumbass
How would you get that much stuff out of a store without getting caught? Slipping a candy bar in your bra or a can in your bag is easy, but when you’ve gained 5+ kg of weight in the store, the cashier might get a tad bit suspicious. I guess you could make multiple trips, but I think cashiers or guards would notice when the same person has gone into the store 9 times without buying anything.
You forgot one thing:


Good enough for ya?
What if it collected the waste into some kind of chamber with a built-in microscope (combined with a window so you don’t touch the shit), so that you could have a look at it yourself, as a little science project? Fun for the whole family!
Who doesn’t want their Instagram followers to know about their UTI before they do?
this also illustrates it pretty well, though not nearly as seriously: https://neal.fun/spend/

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Should your private messages and group chats be public information?
2·8 days agoFurthermore, privacy has profound mental health implications. People that cannot get privacy develop mental disorders like paranoia, anxiety, self-doubt, and all sorts of other problems.
Exactly. More people need to learn how devastating a Panopticon-esque society would be for mental health, let alone all the other issues.
