I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)

Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

Dumpstermaxxing is extremely based if you know where to look. Once I found 6(!) perfectly usable dell latitudes with nvidia quadros in them, probably used for CAD stuff. Also a nice 1440p monitor. Still haven't gotten to selling them yet. Small/medium businesses throw away good shit all the time. Hit colleges too, rich kids usually toss their macbooks after graduation.

The janitors at the local vocational college here sell off all the laptops the Chinese international students leave behind.
They make a few thousand from it. I was shocked to find out that oligarchs just leave their computers behind when they move country. Like straight up just in their abandoned dorm room or on campus.

It's based if it's like hey free stuff
Not if it's smug
Food waste is based. It is not feasible to produce exactly enough food on a societal scale; better to have a little too much than not quite enough.

I knew someone who did (probably still does) dumpster diving. Dude made decent money, but still did it because he was cheap af. His rationale was "why waste perfectly good free stuff?".
I guess there's some logic to that, but I can never lower myself to digging around in literal garbage even if I was paid to do it.
