Rob a mcdonalds, only take $40. Explain myself after and pay it back.

sell a joke to my family for $40.

Grab all the canned stuff I made at home, and either just ask my mother to buy all them for 40 (a family member can pay me, right?) or convince the family friend who loves the candied jalapeños to buy them.

I would go to work at my job and earn more than $40 just like I do every day.

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I work one hour and jerk off for the remaining two.

Sell Pokemon stupid cheap

Run to the neighbours and try to sell some DVDs

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Easy. Sell a gun on FB Marketplace for a ridiculously low asking price. It would sell faster than I would be banned.

Get a loan from the local loan shark.

Go to the roulette table at the casino. Bet it all on 32.

Lose my bet.

Go back to the local loan shark for $40.

Bet the $40 at the roulette table.

Lose.

Repeat until either I get the money to pay the loan shark and save my family. Or I gues it's RIP for my family and my kneecaps.

That's possible at most jobs here, so family is safe. If you mean outside of work, I'm a lady so could probably find & turn a trick in that amount of time, sure husband would even set it up rather than exploding, he has a friend who works with rich guys. Could make that with plenty to spare, I'd guess.

Sell some stocks I guess.

Unless you mean my net worth has to go up $40? In which case, I'll probably look for someone who would be willing to pay me $40 ahead of time to teach them some machine learning over some negotiable span of time. Or to build a website or something. There are lots of businesses in the area that could use it, and $40 is insanely cheap for something like that.

Define family first

    • Parents - nothing
    • Siblings - nothing
    • Uncle's/aunts - nothing
    • Cousins - nothing
    • Grandparents - Uber
    • GFs - Uber
