The top person is standing in front of a Lamborghini. Money apparently can’t buy education either.

You almost never see anyone happy in a Ferrari either. Look inside one and you’ll see someone with the same blank expression that you see on everyone driving and anyone on the bus. Despite what car commercials drill into your head no car will change that meh feeling.
Vupware@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
To an extent, yes. But that’s because you can’t use the car for its intended purpose at a stoplight or grid of roads. I guarantee you when that driver takes his car to the curvy mountain roads he is grinning ear to ear, or having a hell of a time at the very least.
Psionicsickness@reddthat.com 10 months ago
Yeah, this dude has never spent time behind the wheel of a nice sports car. Shit is sooooo fun.
Not_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Initially yes, and they were probably grinning ear to ear when they first bought it, just like we were all grinning ear to ear when we first drove by ourselves, but once the novelty and excitement wear off it goes back to the meh face.
It’s like skiing/snowboarding, the first couple times you go down a run your having a great time, but once it doesn’t become a challenge then it loses its excitement and fun. With skiing though theres a lot more elements of variation (trees, bumps, jumps, narrow trails, grade variations, snow conditions …) to keep things interesting whereas driving roads can only vary with curves and grades, both of which are in a much narrower band of variation for safety reasons.
There’s a reason tons of people spend tons of money every year going skiing but not too many people are renting super cars to go and drive around the hills.

I was deeply confused to see a bunch of Ferraris outside of some huge institution in the middle of Providence, Rhode Island. Take a high performance vehicle and put it in the most tightly packed, narrow, curvy-street urban area in America with the possible exception of Boston. Why don’t you go ahead and take a snowmobile to Hawaii, while you’re at it.

I feel confident that plenty of Ferraris have caused their owners a great deal of sadness, along with joy

Money doesn’t make you happy, but it sure as hell gets rid of the stuff that makes you sad.

So if I had money, I could make all the bigots that harass my friends and I for being queer disappear?
BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 10 months ago
With enough money: yes
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
No, but you could all move to a less bigoted area with money. Or even build your own village.

Yo yes with money you could buy some politics

Money can't buy happiness, but it sure can help. Funny line, but it's also true that much of people's stress that filters into relationships and health is money related.
AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 10 months ago
Exactly. Money buys breathing space, and that’s essential for actually building things to be happy about in one’s life

Money cant buy Happiness, but given the choice I’d rather do my crying in a Bentley.

In my city, there’s a guy who owns a local gun store chain. (Or maybe owned—I dunno, he was old in the 90s, he’s probably not around anymore.) He’s locally infamous for his crazy white hair and his creepy chuckle on TV commercials where he says “I don’t wanna make any money, I just love to sell guns. Heh heh heh.”
Anyway, one day I was driving home and I saw him in the flesh. He was driving a pretty expensive convertible, with his distinctive white hair and a vanity plate with his name on it. I pulled up beside him at a stop light, and he looked like the saddest, most depressed person I’ve ever seen. Not in a personal tragedy way, just in a life sucks way.
It’s tough to feel sorry for him. He’s clearly quite rich, and he made that money selling death machines. But that look of being dead inside, on a face I only ever associated with that creepy chuckle, driving a luxury vehicle, has stuck with me.

Don’s been gone for over a decade at this point.

That makes sense. This was probably in the mid-00s or early 10s.

Money can buy you a lack of poverty which eliminates a main but not the only barrier to happiness.

“I’ve never seen anyone sad in a Ferrari. In fact, I’ve never seen anyone in a Ferrari, I’ve only seen the Ferrari as I pass by the dealership showroom.”
Lamborghinis, on the other hand… I once saw a farmer driving his Lambo tractor truck! And while I didn’t get a good look at his face, it was still awesome.
Johanno@feddit.org 10 months ago
Even a John Deer costs 100k to 350k so farmers on their tractor are driving Ferrari and Lamborghinis.

Money can’t buy happiness or intelligence, proven buy the richest man in the world
oxysis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
Money cannot directly buy happiness, though it can indirectly buy happiness. Objects, medicine, therapy, experiences can all be bought. All of them can lead to a happy life.
HarneyToker@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I thought we were here to talk about F1 😔
ReplicantBatty@lemmy.one 10 months ago
Money may or may not be able to buy happiness, but I’d be glad to test that theory :)
WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 10 months ago
The only thing money buys you is the burning desire for a lot more money.
KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
The richer you are, the more you put on airs to seem like everything is okay. It’s the same way people will put “look at my amazing vacation” with happy amazing photos, and never mention that they all but got in a fistfight with their spouse.
This isn’t universal, but it’s what you’ll notice if you pay closer attention.
echodot@feddit.uk 10 months ago
So apparently the way it works is that you either have no money at all, or a Ferrari for every day of the week, and there’s no possible in between?
What if I just have top of the range Mercedes money, will I be happy then?

Is the person with the helmet supposed the show any emotions?
echodot@feddit.uk 10 months ago
Looks like it’s from formula 1, which is more of an emotional hothouse than your average high school.

Money cannot buy happiness. What it can do is give you the means to remove barriers to happiness.
