Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

For a while, I used to sometimes pack up wealthy people's stuff as part of my job. At one point I was packing up wineglasses that were, no joke, about a foot and a half (0.5m) tall made of thin crystal. When the job was done, the guy gave the workers checks for $500, as a tip.

Those are about $200-300 each if they are the glasses I expect they are. They don't make that much of a difference from the $75 glass. That $75 glass is an improvement over the $25 glass but that really depends on if you are putting any effort into tasting.
