A father turned himself into a cursed federal reserve/IMF combo and is confused when it results in destabilization.

Dude could have just implemented a skibidi command economy with rationing and had everything work fine.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 86 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah but the Skibidi CIA will coup the father, and the kids will get a non-democratically elected step-father.

It happened to me and now I have to call Juan Guaidó dad everytime I want to spend some skibidi bucks.

My kids want to spend real money on a silly gambling game, how do I address this?

By issuing currency, of course!

Hey at least the guy is present and cares, that puts him ahead of a lot of “fathers” tbh

zizek

EDIT: He should create a Skibidibux IMF and offer them all loans denominated in Skibidibux that come with loan covenants about performing household chores.

Just want to take a second and say thank God I had Warcraft 3 instead of Roblox growing up.

[–] Outdoor_Catgirl@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago (6 children)

the post is deleted but all the comments are still there pretty evenly split between "remove all roblox" and "here's how you can tweak your deranged skibidi toilet economy to work"

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 74 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Don't listen to people telling you this is a good system. If your kids are fighting and assaulting each other, it's not working. Just abolish the system give each kid a max amount they can spend per month on this stuff. Non-transferable. (120 upvotes)

Yet when I say that capitalism should be abolished people call me a dirty commie smdh 😔

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 66 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My wife told me she thought this system wasn't working well and I didn't agree.

This guy went to reddit for skibidiconomy tips to win the argument with his wife.

My god, just say no and block roblox on your router. Tell your kids to go the fuck outside

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 76 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the real trick is to not let them know you've blocked it.

"You can't connect to your game? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?"

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

holy shit lmao

Also this is a great way to get them to self-teach IT, in a year they'll be like hey dad did you know all our ethernet cables are still cat5?

Pool the toilet dollars into a central fund that can only be drawn down with the consent of all of the children. Put an expiry date on all toilet dollars so if they can't agree they all get nothing.

It'll either force them to work together or teach them how best to bicker over the will of their estranged father.

[–] LocalMaxima@hexbear.net 55 points 2 years ago

Skibidi Reserve is lowering rates

[–] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 54 points 2 years ago

typical yakubian capitalist move to engage in anti-worker monetary devaluation schemes. Full and uncritical support to the children's uprising. No bedtime without skibidi time

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 47 points 2 years ago (2 children)

What the actual fuck is going on here? "Skibidi toilet" what???

My kid used to play Roblox, which I understand is riddled with bullshit, but this is new to me and just utterly wild.

I guess this is the kinda stuff I missed out on (luckily avoided??) by just having one child - no bizarre sibling rivalry over opaque internet currency.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 56 points 2 years ago

Afaik it's basically like those Garry's mod videos from the 2000s. Gen Alpha-millenial alliance strengthens.

Seriously, there's ideology happening here. There are two factions, the skibidi toilets and the machine agents, locked in an escalating arms race which gradually destroys the entire world they're fighting over. The toilets have human heads grotesquely warped but toilet bodies while the agents have human bodies which are always in businesswear but machine heads, specifically machines of surveillance and propaganda (security cameras, televisions, and loudspeakers). The toilets primarily use physical attacks or eye lasers while the agents use more and more machines attached to their bodies. The toilets can parasitize the agents, but the agents quickly develop technological countermeasures.

The perspective is always that of an agent.

What does this say about surveillance, about government, about war and revolution and humanity? I don't know but it's not nothing.

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 45 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i like that the toilets are disabled by flushing. that's some Doofenshmirtz enemy design right there

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 42 points 2 years ago

The toilets develop little caps to go over their flushers, too. Truly there's A Lot Going On Here.

[–] forcequit@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago

skibidi toilets did nothing wrong, death to america

As a skibidi toilet central banker, would you go into a hospital and mess with people's life support systems?

Don't the children have friends who would arbitrage the value difference or is 7:20 the rate on the street?

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 42 points 2 years ago (2 children)

their friends have no access to skibidi dollars.
