I think you asked this in the wrong community, this is better suited for c/asklemmy. This community is for earnest questions.
Your new neighbor, a genie, opens 'Temptation Mart' next door. Food, alcohol, substances, carnal pleasures, gambling - all complimentary, 24/7. How does this affect your daily life?

This felt too stupid for !asklemmy@lemmy.ml but you are probably right about that

The “what would you do” type of questions where everyone shares their subjective opinions is exactly the type of question asklemmy is for. Nostupidquestions is for questions seeking objective answers.
lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 2 days ago
I’m in the opposite boat, this feels too opinionated, and not serious enough for c/nostupidquestions

Why the fuck would I ever show up at work ever again? Sounds excellent.

I mean…housing?

Sleep in the Temptation Mart, duh
Endmaker@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Housing / home ownership counts as a temptation too.

It’d take a substantial amount of days off my life, but I consider that a bonus

I've been to Dallas, and I've been to San Antonio, but I have not been to Houston.

Free food you say? I guess I can put up with the traffic...

How does complimentary gambling work btw?

No vig on bets, no green tiles on roulette.

Oh god my neighborhood would become a magnet for annoying people. I’d move.
MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I move into the store permanently and then die of a heart attack after about a month. I imagine I would have no regrets.
Obi@sopuli.xyz 3 days ago
A month long, fatal binge is probably not that high o of a budget. Don’t let your dreams be dreams!

It’s too easy to ignore these temptations if I have to go out and aquire them myself with my own money lol

There will be a lot of strangers in the stairwell in my apartment building.
If the place was actually called “Temptation Mart”, I would be very suspicious, a Temptation usually means that if you fall for it, something bad will happen.

“Hey Stoy, wanna go to the Temptations show with me?”
“I dunno… What’s the catch?”

Great! Free food that I don’t have to cook! I’d be instantly spoiled. The rest of it I don’t care about.
missingno@fedia.io 3 days ago
All complimentary meaning free food? Well that helps me save quite a bit on groceries then.
brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
If you can resist endless donuts and cakes and ice cream and all that!

I spend less money on beer and don’t have to drive to get it. Otherwise, not much has changed.
brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 days ago
You know those three packs of tall boys convenience stores sell? I see guys get out of their pickups to buy them after work on weekdays and I’m under the impression they’re doing it for portion control. 30 racks are massively more economical but I think they’d only last two days for some people, so they overpay every day in exchange for not showing up hungover.
So, sounds like no matter how full your fridge is, you drink the same amount.
Num10ck@lemmy.world 3 days ago
lots of people dont have the cold storage space for 30 cans… and lots of other people simply cannot sleep with undrank beer around.

Percy Jackson books (movies less so but still decent) are absolutely great. Regardless of age they are still good!

I’d get a normal amount of food and carry on the way I have been. Cutting out the grocery bill would be a life changer.

New modern remake of I dream of Genie, right here! Genie is a badass temptress this time, and it’s produced by HBO so they can have nudity.
…I have GOT to stop comkng up with dark but creative pilots for shows I want to watch but aren’t even being considered.
Num10ck@lemmy.world 3 days ago
i’d like to see a new Dream of Genie where she’s constantly trying to seduce some lower-class guy who’s actually trying to improve his world and she’s always inserted a gotcha which sabotages the good idea. he slowly hates her and she loves him more for it.
Tarquinn2049@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I might check out some of the food, but the odds are pretty high that I won’t like it. So I’m probably safe.

I thirteened this. I don’t take those substances and I have yet to find a place where the food tastes about half as gourmet as my own cooked meals.

Maybe the question should’ve been “if your fridge were permanently stocked with all your vices” (& your living room was chock full of blackjack, sex workers, and cocaine)
