>This year we offered our customers the ultimate Black Friday experience - the ability to buy nothing from us for $5. We took our entire store offline, and put up a simple payment form where people could give us $5.
>11,248 people gave us $5, and 1,199 people gave us more than $5 by filling out the form more than once. One enthusiastic fan gave us $100. In the end, we made a windfall profit of $71,145.
>There's been a lot of speculation about how we would spend the money from Black Friday, and we're happy to announce that this time, we kept it all. Here's what we bought.
These are the same guys who left a convention table full of CAH merch unmanned with a "pay what you want" sign, a couple of years ago. Unsurprisingly, they lost several thousand dollars.
I personally suspect they're just basically testing capitalism's failure modes for the lulz.

Either that, or perhaps they are severely retarded.
Daniel Scott
Holy shit that's hilarious.
Connor King
>Not dropping 3 large on a vibrator. The rest of them have to step it up.
Aaron Ward
Well, not all of them. They refused Bitcoin because it was too silly for even them to take seriously.
Caleb Richardson
Reminds me of their hole fund, where thousands of people donated money to dig a big useless hole, after being told said money was for a big useless hole that was of no benefit to anyone
Owen King
Holy fucking shit, they could have invested that money and gotten actually rich. Several of them gave money to NGOs, which is cool I guess, but fuck me the amount of money wasted on bullshit is phenomenal.
Like. Jesus fucking christ, who pays 3 FUCKING GRAND for a fucking vibrator? One that costs 50 euros will give orgasms just as well.
Fucking hell.
Easton Jones
>One that costs 50 euros will give orgasms just as well. But is it made of gold?
Michael Lee
Enjoy getting a fucked up vagina if your damn vibrator is made of gold. Eeesh.
It's like those people were given the opportunity to use a stack of money the way they wanted and threw that opportunity away for bullshit stuff. No wonder most people are poor, where's the long term planning?
Kevin King
>where's the long term planning? Gold is always a sound investment.
Josiah White
I have to admit that's true. I can already imagine thr head of the dude when she brings it to be melted and be considered actual gold and not just a shiny dildo.
Cooper Campbell
Actually being angry at how other people spend their money. Like, have you only been on this planet for two weeks?
Blake Rogers

David Sanchez
Not really angry. More like disappointed and rather smug and self satisfied if I'm very honest.
Ryder Gray
Price aside, gold is a pretty good material for a vibrator. It's not reactive, so there's no chance of adverse reactions, it wont shatter, unlike glass, and it's easy to clean and maintain.
Besides, you can have it buried with you for future archaeologists to puzzle over.
Connor Diaz
Or the time when they sold packages of literal shit.

Oliver Campbell
They have all the right to spend their money however the fuck they want indeed and I have all the right to criticise them if it's on a dumb thing like a golden dildo.
Ryder Lewis
The guys behind CAH are already doing fucking fine for money. That they squandered that much is likely just a drop in the barrel for them, and it's in line with their succession of strange economic jokes.
It is kinda sad that CAH will be what they're known for though. Secret Hitler is an actual game, and it's legitimately great.
John Reed
Holy fuck what a bunch of urban liberal hipster faggots.

Michael Wright
>Besides, you can have it buried with you for future archaeologists to puzzle over. Dildos are actually a relatively common archaeological find, especially prehistoric ones - just no-one wants to be known as Indiana Boner-stones, so they get saddled with euphemistic names like "ice-age batons" and put in museum archives
TL;DR: no archaeologist is going to be surprised by a dildo

Wyatt Moore
The example that feminists desperately cling to when pretending that women are not objectively worse at the sciences than men, and pretending otherwise is a waste of money (most of which they take from our government).
Jaxon Thompson
It's not. I always loved the CaH experiments in nihilism and stupidity for the same reason I love dumb-ass modern art (like the woman living in the glass box for 3 weeks). It's weird and funny and I love it. Then I read what these fucks spent their money on, and except for the chick who bought the legolas bow I seriously hate all of them. Like the 3000 dollar vibrator and donation to planned parenthood. Jesus Christ the cringeworthy virtue signalling there. I seriously hope a truck of piece visits them soon. Stupid fucks.

Nolan Anderson
1. Invest it 2. Invest the dividend 3. Repeat
It takes a while if there's no other capital, but that's how it goes.
Ian Turner
Invest it in stocks or use it towards the down payment on a house or condo or put it towards a down-payment on a rental property
Robert Howard
So you're telling me that I can get rich being a part-time wage slave if my parents pay for everything? Fugg, applying now.
Dylan Bennett
Yep. You can get rich doing just about anything, if you're willing to forgo life's small luxuries for a while first. And if you've got no bills, you don't even have to do that.
Chase Sullivan
Maybe eventually, the big ting is that if that's how they spend what is essentially a bonus on top of their regular wages, they have terrible money sense and the charities feel like virtue signaling rather than an honest contribution.
John Collins
If I were on that list my entry would be $150 for the Space Hulk: Death Angel expacs and the rest in Nestle stock. Seriously, invest Nestle. They're trying to corner the water market before peak water hits, and for the most part succeeding.
Leo Sanchez
How do I invest?
I mean, like, mechanically speaking? Like, let's say I have $3,000 in cash. What person do I give that to and say "I hereby invest" or whatever? Is Invest a website or something?
Anthony Sullivan
Yeah, the old-fashioned way is getting a broker but for the last two decades there's been plenty of websites that you can do it through. If it's cash, you'll first need to put it in a bank account though, and then open an investment account, which your bank may do but it'll usually be through a specialized company. Then you use the money in the bank account to buy stocks (or bonds or whatever) through the site you picked and then just leave them be. Sites will have transaction fees, but you can choose to pay per transaction (which is the better deal for most people) or per month (only necessary if you're getting into day trading) and in the former case you'll make back that money before too long. If you don't know what you're doing, just stick the money into some indexes, since they're pretty much guaranteed to grow significantly in the long run, and it takes a lot of skill to grow your money at a faster rate than they get.
Hunter Walker
It belongs in a museum!
Brody Scott
This was the best. Reddit was crowing over their donations and fellating these guys for spending money on a gold-plated vibrator- on the same day they were attacking some televangelist for owning a huge house. It was the final push I needed to stop taking anyone on the Internet seriously.
Nolan Torres
>Exploding kittens. >edgy The whole game is about avoiding exploding your kittens.

Parker Harris
>stop taking anyone on the Internet seriously
Some parts of the Internet are better than others. By all means, cast down the redditor, but there are better places where sanity still rules.
Logan Russell
Some people just want to watch holes be dug I suppose.
Easton Myers
I feel like there's a difference between these guys explicitly doing something for shits and giggles and a televangelist preying on the vulnerable.
Sebastian Butler
The funniest thing about that was the FAQ
>Q: Why are you digging a hole? Why don't you donate the money to charity? >A: Why don't YOU donate the money to charity?
Alexander Thomas
Is it really preying if they hand out a sense of community and self-worth in return? Parasitic maybe, but preying?
Cameron Moore
So these guys can explicitly blow money for fun and that's badwrongfun; but the televangelist you're giving the benefit of the doubt of his intentions for excessive revenues?
Strange person.
Adrian White
This gave me an idea friends.
We need to do something similar; set up a niche fund for something stupid to get us a lot of money. Then, we'll set up a fund where we finance the dreams of all the anons on Veeky Forums who aspire to something better. Over time, we'll become our own self-sustaining company, and then we will immediately liquidate our assets to some cutthroat capitalists, and buy a fuckload of minis/cardboard like god intended.
Elijah Reyes
It is a bit retarded, but if nothing else there's always writing up your own tranny jokes on the blank cards.
Alexander Hughes
Apples To Apples
Carson Gonzalez
The difference is, if you're giving to a church there's an assumption that it's going to be used for maintenance of the church first, and whatever else there is will be used to do charity or missionary work.
If you're giving money to something like CAH, first of all they didn't say what they were going to do, so you're leaving it up to them, but it's a pretty solid assumption that they're going to be using it for fucking around anyway. So people are getting what they paid for.
