All debt? Does that include companies too?

They’ve borrowed at least billions to grow their businesses, and that sort of money won’t just disappear without a trace. In this case, the trace would probably include economic instability of some sort. There’s a reason why central banks use interest rate to influence borrowing and inflation.

I would go back to the time when I got my first computer and write myself a long message from the future. It would contain things like:

• Make several backups of this list and review it every year.
• Watch out. Some people are really toxic. (list of people to avoid)
• Know yourself, and act accordingly. (list of traits I have, but haven’t realized or fully understood at the time)
• Be careful. (list of minor accidents that could potentially happen in the future)
• Be mindful of important decisions. (List of some big decisions that turned out to be good, bad, great, awful etc.)
• You can do it 👍 (encouraging words)

The universe feels like a pretty whimsical place, so why not? Might as well try it out. If it sucks, you can always let everything crash into a singularity and start over.

Don’t feed the trolls.

The arrowhead sounds more viable. The oldest ones can be thousands of years old, and the prices are all over the place. Fancy ones cost a fortune, while a badly beaten one will be well within the budget.

Just like everyone else: APIcalypse and enshittification of Reddit.

I think the real question is: Why a social news aggregation content rating forum instead of any other type of social media?

If I cared about people, I would be spending my time on Mastodon. Since I care more about specific topics, I’m here on Lemmy instead. IMO, the structure of conversations is also much nicer and more readable here on Lemmy.
