if you won a million dollars what would be the first ridiculous thing you'd buy? something silly and pretty and fun for yourself. it can be small. I'd buy a hot pink e-bike or vespa, and give it pink marabou streamers.
I would buy a whole day’s time at the Red Panda encounter at the Chattanooga Zoo for myself, my kiddo, my wife, and my cousin so we could just spend the day playing and hanging out with a group of Red Pandas.
I kicked my watch addiction and sold my collection. But a million bucks... first fun thing would be a pristine Seiko Pogue. Tis my grail watch.
There is a woman online who does lovely vintage style lamp shades that are… too much for me (it’s a lot of work and they are gorgeous so get your bag but way out of price range) so one of those
Not ridiculous, because art isn't ridiculous, but I think if I could support an artist on here to make art for those (also on here) who would appreciate it, I could do my part to wake the world a more beautiful, art-filled place. bsky.app/profile/aust...
Replicas of all the swords from LOTR, The Hobbit, and Game Of Thrones, and build a huge library come game room to display them in, and fill the library with every TTRPG book I could get my hands on. Any additional space would be used for history books
My "ridiculous amounts of money" dream is a Star Wars movie. Set on Kashyyyk. Entirely in Shryiiwook. No subtitles. If we get ambitious, we'll include some Ewoks and a protocol droid. No one will speak Basic during the entire film.
Either every bit of weather kit I could dream of from Kestrel, or a beautiful cane for every feasible occasion.
The tuxedo cat Lego. I'm posting one photo with it next to Dillinja and then it's clutter forever but with a milly in the bank I'm getting that IG post and soundtracking it with Big Pun & Fat Joe - Twinz (Deep Cover '98)
New vehicle. Probably a hybrid or electric vehicle. And after a couple of weeks ago, one with a decently high ground clearance so my *fucking car doesn't get flooded.* (*sigh*) It still smells musty, and I hate it.
I'd hire a personal chef for 3 months, and let em have the run of my kitchen. G*d, it'd be wonderful.
