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.

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

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.

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

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

Svartis@piefed.blahaj.zone · 23 pts · 11d

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

Trigger2_2000@sh.itjust.works · 20 pts · 11d

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

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.

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 · 4 pts · 10d

The image is AI too, which adds to the sus

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

  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

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!!!

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

technomad@slrpnk.net · 5 pts · 11d

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 pts · 11d (1 reply)

Store it for alchemical purposes.

Turn it to piss!

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).

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 pts · 10d (1 reply)

How many anarchists are there in greece?

BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz · 1 pts · 9d

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 pts · 10d

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.

I start casting them into bullets.

A404@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 2 pts · 6d

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

A404@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 10d

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

Aeri@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 8d (1 reply)

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)

๐Ÿ˜“ I didn't realize it was an AI image
