Guys, you need to first start looking realisticly at how much 1 billion dollars really are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0J6BQDKiYyM

yeah, it's a shitload of money
which is why I said stock market
at worst I lose a negligible amount, at best, I just keep making more shitloads of money

How is that being realistic at all, you know how many trillions of dollars there are in circulation globally right now, if just one billion was enough to end hunger worldwide, don't you think it would be done by now?
for a frame of reference, a trillion is a million million dollars. If world hunger can't be solved with that much money, what's your piddly one billion going to do. Should have just said that it was a joke.


I would say money is not a solution for hunger...
You know, political problems in the reality

One way to eradicate world hunger using just a billion dollars would be to hire mercenaries in 3rd world countries to simply assassinate starving children across the world.

I wonder if 1 billion is enough to create a small city. "Stickpage City: Built on a Budget"

Yay! I bet most of the community here would move there :D

Btw, why talk only about animating stick figures? What about the folks in Community Artwork and Writters Lounge?

Its possible. I'm assuming he meant a hostel-like situation. Not luxury apartments with a building assigned to each person.

The first thing I would do with a billion dollars would be to budget out the rest of my life as I am currently living.
Then I would double the budget for quality of living.
Then I'd invest a large enough portion to ensure that I have some sort of income.

Then donate the rest.

I would buy a nice simple house in like a decent neighborhood and just not work for the rest of my life, just focus on creating my games. I'd open a game development business too.

We already have Cook. Ba dum tss.

You're Jeff, right?



If I had a billion dollars? Honestly, I would have no idea what I would do with it. We just moved in into our new house, our car/van is decent. I'm contented with my life. Maybe a gaming PC, but after that, I have no idea what to do with the rest.

I don't buy games. Stuff FOR games, sure, but not games themselves.
