Some of you aren't young enough to understand what it was like before smartphones. There was a fad growing up where people were buying invisible dogs. We used to walk around with invisible dogs on leashes. We were so god damn bored.

…in my mind, the euro is still “new.” It’s been 25 years.

I encountered the toonie glued to the ground thing, and the second night I saw it there, I used some solvent and a wrench from my toolkit to knock it loose. Free money!

I stuck a penny to the personnel manager's desk one day. (Used one of those sticky dots so it wasn't permanent.) She's a prankster herself so it's only fair. Probably had no idea it was me, tho...

We used to pick the chewing gum off the Anna Livia and flick it at people.

What a time to be alive.

This still happens. There is a pound coin glued to the floor outside my workplace and has been there for at least a year at this point

There was a hill off to the side of our elementary school playground. We bored a hole into that mountain like a clan of displaced dwarves. The boredom was out of control.

We did similar as kids, we found a car sized boulder that had just the tip sticking out of the dirt, and woeked to excavate it like a fossill for months

Tbh id rather that than all the fake bills churches make that unfold into propoganda bullshit.

Many years ago I found a pound coin on the pavement outside the shops 5 mins from my house. Of course it turned out to be superglued so I popped back to my house for a hammer and chisel and used those to get it (and a tiny fragment of pavement, oops!)

I bawled at an Ed Edd n’ Eddy episode where gum was used to do the exact same thing… except Johnny 2x4 was doing it so it’d be safe for when he goes to pick it up again.

I was the motherfucker that despite not carrying any dedicated tools with me was always able to somehow pry the superglued coin off the ground (the coin was probably there for months if not years)

I’ve got a 12p coin somewhere in the house (a 10 and 2 superglued together) and I haven’t yet found a solution that doesn’t cost more than 12p to fix it
