Reminds me of a Fear Factor event my Mormon church group had in which one “disgusting” feat for boys was to shave part of their legs. That particular feat was cancelled when some boys who didn't subscribe to traditional “manly” values happily started shaving their legs for points. Unlike swallowing goldfishes, eating grasshoppers, or attempting to drink a gallon of milk, leg shaving was a step too far for church leaders.
The insects were dried protein snacks from a Boy Scout's wilderness guide training; they were like salted sunflower seeds with the shell still on. It was the Wal-Mart goldfishes that were alive and swallowed Attack-on-Titan-style.
I'm neither trans, nor would I look good in that (fat, old, bald, hairy, ugly man), but for that amount of money I'd do it. It's just clothes, who cares?
I uh, might have seen this post back during the pandemic and bought this fit with my stimulus money (it doesn't look as cute as the picture makes it out to be cause the skirt of the dress doesn't flare out like that and looks rather boxy, however the top is separate from the dress and you can wear it as a crop top and pair it with another dress/skirt and it looks better that way imo)
Even though I would only be at work 3 of those days, I would still say the answer is no. $1k is not enough for me to dress that way for a whole week. Maybe $10k.
There is a ton of stuff I would do for $1k. You want two days of my engineering and CAD skills? You want me to go to the hospital to tell people they're loved ones have died? You want me to wipe down the loads in the steam room (in a tyvek suit and gloves)? Those are all things I could do for $1K. But I'm not wearing that.
$1k/w is what i earn doing my job... your telling me i can take a week off and hide in my room and all i have to get my fat ass in some clothing with no obligations to leave my house? Where do i sign up?
123 trillion usd in the world, assuming the 1k doubles every week (1, 2, 4, 8 etc) you'd only need to wear it for 37 weeks or ~0.7 years before you'd be richer than the rest of... earth

I read this as 1 kilodollar.

that's entirely correct tbh

Do you really need a conversion program for that?
thevoidzero@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 309d
No, but I wanted to test if it'd be considered valid by the program. I think the algorithm just does

Is that not what the k represents when people use it as a short-hand for "thousand"?
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz · 9 pts · 308d
I think people understand that k = 1000 but don't realize where it comes from.
As an aside, I really like talking about mega euros. Five million euros? Nah, five mega euros

It's not shorthand for thousand, it IS thousand.
MATH IS WITH ME, BILLIONAIRES ARE MEMBERS OF THE kkk!!!!!
yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 308d
That's what I love about unit prefixes. They're just numbers!
Like, how many m³ is 1 km³?
1 km³ = 1 (km)³ = 1 k³m³ = 1 G(m³) = 1,000,000,000 m³.
MisterFrog@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 306d
It's just that usually the $ unit comes before the number.
Which I accept, but don't like for the inconsistency with how we write units after the number.

Serious question: does anyone know where I can get that dress? I don't need the money; just the dress.
QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works · 9 pts · 308d
I'd prefer if the skirt and top weren't connected. I have so many different shirts I wear with my skirts. The top looks soo cute
homura1650@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 308d
Good news! The top is actually a separate piece. https://www.amazon.com/Prints-Casual-Cotton-Dresses-Spring/dp/B079K73S9R
