    Putting up penny’s isn’t risk, therefore it’s not gambling. Putting up your house or bill money, now that’s gambling.

      That has to be one of the worst takes I’ve read this week. That’s like saying “I don’t drink alcohol, I just have a few beers sometimes.”

        No your take is entire worse you’re missing the point. It’s like saying “I’m not drunk I had a couple beers.” The act is the same but the outcome is very different. Bet over games water see how that feels. To say gamble isn’t relative is actually a brain dead take. That opinion is made by someone who can’t see another PoV.

        This entire thread is mostly a salutary reminder that Lemmy really is entirely disconnected from the real world.

          Yeah. That’s something I miss from Reddit in it’s hay day. It became so mainstream that you ran into a lot of non-nerds. Lemmy users, myself included to some extent, definitely moreso fit a stereotype. Sometimes that’s neat. Sometimes it is really super not neat.
