Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Win lotto and discovering suddenly that your friends and family see you as an ATM has got to be pretty awful. All the people coming out of the woodwork, relatives who were awful suddenly kissing your ass, maybe your kids are idiots who think they no longer need to make any effort to prepare for life, maybe your spouse wants a yacht club or something insane, maybe your neighbour you thought you were pals with suddenly sues you...
People get brutal and really weird around money. Even if your family is perfect, every new person you meet you gotta wonder are they there for you, or your wallet.
Aside from that, if you have bad habits your previous broke ass state might have been what was keeping them in check.
I can see how winning lotto could fuck up someone's life, from all directions except financial. Like pulling a deep sea fish up to the surface.
