Yeah, I doubt the "live for free in the metaverse" part. If there even will be a real usable metaverse, it won't be free.

[–] Captain_Patchy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

We currently have more than enough production and "wealth" for the entire planet to be a "post scarcity society". The only problem that remains is that we don't treat the people that hoard wealth the same way we treat the people that hoard cats or newspaper.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.fmhy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

it will be free as in "free"

[–] lanolinoil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

There's a good show called upload about this

[–] hahattpro@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Woo, this is new. Pay for PIZZA in 6 weeks. Is this real?

Can you give me verify source. I would like to know more.

[–] alliswell33@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is what the meme is referring to I believe. Over a year ago this happened.

[–] hahattpro@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Strange knowledge have been completely absorbed

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

That sounds different but equally fucked up. BNPL companies are really pieces of shit btw, having dealt with them on the other side of the curtain.

[–] Dinodicchellathicc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Reminds me of the hamburger guy from the old popeye cartoons.

"I'll gladly pay you next Thursday for a hamburger today"

[–] rockyrikoko@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

*"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today"

FTFY

Thanks, fixed it

[–] alliswell33@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 year ago

This is what the meme is referencing I believe.

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Don't know what the surprise is now in my country we have local financing for rent in quotes! Can't pay your rent? Don't worry, get more debt!

[–] CorrodedCranium@lemmy.fmhy.ml 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Odo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Or EverQuest II and the good old /pizza command.

[–] db2@lemmy.one 18 points 1 year ago

This one hits home so to speak, can't decide if I like it or hate it.

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Is it just me, or is Dominos not only ridiculously expensive, but also not even that good?

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

It is expensive if you do not use the coupons that are available 100% of the time. With coupons you can get 3 pizzas for like $20. Otherwise it is like $25 for one crappy pizza.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

Chances are everyone has a local pizza place that does better and cheaper pizza than Dominos.

Just brand recognition and the fact that you know what you're getting, I suppose. Plus they've always got offers on to reduce the frankly eye-watering default prices.

Costco pizza is great for the price (like £7.99 for an 18" pizza), but they only do three varieties and one of them is just cheese. We're not Kevin from Home Alone. And just getting one is an arduous trek.

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Like with most big chains, the appeal is not so much quality but consistency. You know no matter where you are when you order a domino's pizza you'll get the same thing you would at your local one.

Also I've heard domino's is worse in the US than other places.

[–] ophy 2 points 1 year ago

It's pretty rubbish in many other countries as well. Consistent in that regard, too!

[–] FinancedPizza@lemming.quest 8 points 1 year ago

Interesting...

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Why would I finance a pizza from Dominos when there are plenty of local places that will let me finance a pizza at a lower APR?

[–] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is the "finance a Domino's pizza" real, or a meme?

[–] Grimr0c@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Not sure, but I know its possible to finance groceries on Instacart

[–] soviettaters@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a meme. It might be a real ad saying that you can pay for products in different "slices" with a Dominos logo slapped on, but I doubt it.

This is however happening with other goods that are way too cheap to need to be financed. Closest example I could find

[–] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

Do you have an article that isn't paywalled?

[–] xxwarlorddarkdoomxx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What kind of bum finances a fucking pizza lmao?

[–] Chadteeka@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Go check out Caleb Hammer on YouTube. People are paying 30% on everything lol

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I means it's really not that different to paying for a pizza on a credit card

[–] dan@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 year ago

Damn now I'm hungry for pizza

[–] Tag365@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't "Google" something... that's not a real word in that context. Do you "Ask" someone when searching?

[–] at_an_angle@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

I don't know. Let me Google that.
