How little brain function do you need for this to actually provide satisfaction?

That sounds fun actually. Hopefully they do it for PC parts, now that's a dopamine hit.

Watch the orders actually go through and they lose all that cash, or go into debt

This is what Evola's viewpoint countered. Is life really about making more and more money? Is life really about eating yourself to death?

So, what happens when they 'track' it and it finally arrives at their address? Nothing?

Saw a story once about young parents there who let their real baby die while they spent most of their time in the 24 hour Internet cafe place raising their video game baby on some weird game they were borderline addicted to. This was in the early oughts in Seoul.

Lol. How dumb are people? So little self-control. What will you get, actually? Just the fun of ordering and waiting perpetually, knowing that you are fooling yourself? Humans are peaking out, it seems.

It is the same psyche that has been gamed to legitimize micro transactions in video games or as EA would call it: "surprise mechanics."

I've seen so many of those shit fake things for adults and I don't get how anyone is the target audience for this shit. Like gambling. I'd fucking gamble if you could make money, but it makes zero sense when you're literally guaranteed to lose.

I had no money beyond very basic needs at uni. I’d go to grocery store and walk round imagining meals and what they’d taste like. By the time I was walking home I felt full. Think it’s about time to resurrect this mental trick.

This would be great for our elderly parents who overspend compulsively.

Wait until they start fake-buying baby clothes for their non-existent kids

Asa kid, I’d just look at the Sears catalog and circle the things I wanted. Same rush, albeit lower tech.
