How exactly do you define making money though? I already have more than $40 could I purchase a product worth more than $40 and then return it? Could I steal $40 from somebody and then give it back once my family is no longer going to explode? Could I explain that my family is going to explode and politely request the money in hopes that someone believes me? How long do I need to retain the money? What if I just take something I own to a pawn shop? What if I gamble and I lose $50 and then later I make $40, I’m $10 down but technically I made $40 in the last transaction, have I satisfied the requirement?
I work one hour and jerk off for the remaining two.
I feel like this is a “straight” boys wet dream. Perfect ‘no homo’ excuse to suck a dick.
“I did it to save my family”.
Make exactly $39
I make that in an hour of work. So… keep doing what I’m doing?
Even if I didn’t make that at my normal job, or it was non-business hours when I can’t just go to work for money, I feel like $40 in 3 hours is pretty doable with just gig work (grocery/restaurant delivery, Uber).
Ask my friends to transfer money real quick.
Sell my shirt to my dad for $40. I’m pretty sure he’d rather buy my shirt than explode.
Time to get into sex work.
I don’t have anything I could sell that quickly, even.
Overestimating how easy it is. Even before FOSTA-SESTA, you’d have to learn the lingo and figure out where your audience is. If you’re a cis dude, there’s a lot of cis dudes willing to suck or whatever for free. There’s also like literally nothing stopping them from not paying you - obviously you should take the money up front, but you go through all that effort, meet the guy and he says “oh I actually don’t have any money but don’t you like me enough to do it for free? 🥺” and in the best case scenario you just don’t get raped.
If they could pick up the desperation (and you’re desperate because of the exploding family thing), they’d probably pressure you into not making them wear a condom.
Well a beej is a beej. Some people ain’t picky.
Was my first thought tbh.
sell a joke to my family for $40.
Sell my car to the next person who walks by, I guess.
But I’ll hint to them (family) strongly that I won’t be selling two cars, so they need to get less explodey.
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.
Um…my job?
Right? 3 hours is $288. Any other families that need not exploding?
Get laid, make money. I just need one.
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.
