Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

If Bill Gates drops a thousand dollars, would he bother to pick it up because during the 4 seconds he picks it, he would've already earned it back.

[–]Oscar_Rowsdower 232 points233 points ago

Of course he would. Then he'd have 2 grand, let out that fart, tie his shoes while he's down there, and leave a nice tip at the olive garden.

His tip was mistaken for an offer to purchase, and was accepted.

      In this hypothetical situation, it goes, if he dropped it on the way to work. So if he stopped to pick it up that's 4 seconds lost at the office, in which time he probably makes more than $5000 (if he spent it at his desk instead).

      Although in reality I'm sure he can just breathe and rake in the cash

        I've heard a story about Gates wandering around an airport parking lot in the early hours of the morning because he's too cheap to use valet parking.

        While this is generally true, Gates can afford valet and first class.

        So can a lot of people? If he doesn't want to spend the money, so be it. The guy is actually a remarkable philanthropist, immensely intelligent, and grasps concepts very well (e.g. global issues. Look up his TEDTalks). IIRC, he also is leaving his kids nothing.

        I heard 10m each, no more. Enough to educate oneself in comfort and start a company anywhere if need be, but not live lavishly for life. I haven't a cite.

        Yeah I read this as well. He is giving them .02% of his wealth (10 million each). Enough to do anything, but not enough to do nothing.

        [–][deleted] 15 points16 points ago

        I'm pretty sure I could live quite comfortably with 10 million. 100 years worth of a 100k salary? Np.

                This is a very hypothetical question. I doubt Bill Gates carries a thousand dollars around. Ever.

                Google his mug shot. He was driving so fast that the cops arrested him and set his bail at a thousand dollars. He paid it with money he had in his pocket.

                He was arrested in mid 1977. I can't imagine why he would have had 1K in cash on him at that stage. I don't think he was particularly wealthy until the IBM PC was released 3 years later.

                Complete lie. I got arrested for unlawful carry of a weapon in a club parking lot in Dallas. I had 1600$ in my pocket. My bail was 500$. I used that money to bail out. This was 2007.

                                          On the left is a man who gives nothing to charities or outside causes and on the right is man who has pledge billions after he dies and is actively working with charities and trying to cure cancer.

                                            lol the thing about jordan making 178k a day is complete BS. 178k x 365= $64,970,000 a year, which is more than his net worth in that picture.

                                            According to celebritynetworth.com michael jordan makes 40 million a year in endorsements and has a net worth of 500 million. This makes much more sense.

                                            If he makes 5% a year on his .5 billion, that's 25 million. So he's pulling in about 65 million a year which is ... 178k a day.

                                                I tried sitting cross legged like they do, thinking that it'll make me look poised and classy.

                                                I do the same thing. I wonder if it's correlates with the way I attract homosexuals unintentionally.

                                                Charlie Sheen is nobody's role model.

                                                I've been sitting with my ankle on my knee since I was 7 and now I can't comfortably sit any other way. Plus it's a great table for a laptop when none is available.

                                                            Lets actually examine this.

                                                            Bill Gates net worth is 56 billion, and lets assume a very conservative 1% interest a year.

                                                            Thats 560 million a year, or,

                                                            ~$1.5 Million a day or, ~$64 thousand an hour or, ~$1065 a minute or, ~$17.75 a second.

                                                            Assuming a top of the line Lambo costs around $350,000, it would take about 6 hours tops for him to buy one.

                                                            Not really since he's donating something like 99% of his wealth to charity. He can make as much money as he wants as far as I'm concerned.

                                                            The fact that he makes more money per hour than I do in an entire year is, though.

                                                            Well that is interest alone, not any sort of actual profits. Hope that makes you feel better.

In exchange, we expect a portion of his income for as long as he does business or lives in our country, and we expect a larger portion of his income when he gets so rich that the additional wealth isn't particularly useful for him.

                                                                    People who react in such a way seem to have a very, very poor understanding about currency, capital and credit. This isn't to be inflammatory, it's just that such emotional reactions wouldn't be there with a factual understanding behind the numbers. Run the numbers on a small scale and then scale that up. When does it start becoming depressing?

                                                                    Do you realize how much money has been generated by the kind of money we're talking about? (I'm, like the OP, assuming all of his money is held in one place at a set interest for hypothetical purposes, by the way) But the reason interest isn't "depressing" is that currency on it's own generates huge amounts of revenue from interest fees taken from consumers as well as earnings from holdings, bonds, etc. The bank merely gives a guaranteed percentage to you in exchange for this. Hypothetically, they couldn't collect those fees without your money.

                                                                    Also, think of how much money depreciates. If the dollar drops 1% in value in one day, how much did Bill Gates lose? It goes both ways as well.

                                                                    [–]PunIntendedSorry 2 points3 points ago

                                                                    That said, to do the math is easy: if 1% takes 6 hours, then 4% would be 4x as fast, or 6/4 = ~1.5 hours max.

Gates' fellow Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen imported another one, as did Porsche collector Jerry Seinfeld. These cars had not been approved by regulators and had no Department of Transportation‎ and Environmental Protection Agency‎ approval. The "Gates 959" was stored for 13 years by the Customs Service at the Port of Seattle, until regulations were changed to allow "Autos of Interest" to be imported with severe limitations on their use.[10] Gates and Allen both helped pass the "Show and Display" law.[10][11]"

Sure, he lives in a really nice, expensive house, but he's not one to flaunt his money. His big focus these days is charity and even when he dies most of his money is going to charity. He's managed to remain humble. I could never picture him driving a Lamborghini.

                                                                                                      then he basically worked his way to the top of one of the most competitive banks.

                                                                                                                      But if you shoveled his interest underneath the pile as he fell (again, that wouldn't even work) he'd never hit the ground because of the rate he earns money.
