    How exactly do you define making money though? I already have more than $40 could I purchase a product worth more than $40 and then return it? Could I steal $40 from somebody and then give it back once my family is no longer going to explode? Could I explain that my family is going to explode and politely request the money in hopes that someone believes me? How long do I need to retain the money? What if I just take something I own to a pawn shop? What if I gamble and I lose $50 and then later I make $40, I’m $10 down but technically I made $40 in the last transaction, have I satisfied the requirement?

    I feel like this is a “straight” boys wet dream. Perfect ‘no homo’ excuse to suck a dick.

    “I did it to save my family”.

      Even if I didn’t make that at my normal job, or it was non-business hours when I can’t just go to work for money, I feel like $40 in 3 hours is pretty doable with just gig work (grocery/restaurant delivery, Uber).

    Sell my shirt to my dad for $40. I’m pretty sure he’d rather buy my shirt than explode.

      Overestimating how easy it is. Even before FOSTA-SESTA, you’d have to learn the lingo and figure out where your audience is. If you’re a cis dude, there’s a lot of cis dudes willing to suck or whatever for free. There’s also like literally nothing stopping them from not paying you - obviously you should take the money up front, but you go through all that effort, meet the guy and he says “oh I actually don’t have any money but don’t you like me enough to do it for free? 🥺” and in the best case scenario you just don’t get raped.

      If they could pick up the desperation (and you’re desperate because of the exploding family thing), they’d probably pressure you into not making them wear a condom.

        FOSTA-SESTA

        Not American, no worries. We ultimately went with the Scandinavian model here so it’s not even illegal to sell.

        you’d have to learn the lingo and figure out where your audience is

        That could be tough. I’d probably try some of the dudes that have already hit on me first.

        $40 isn’t too much and maybe I could play up the inexperienced actually straight fetish thing.

        If they could pick up the desperation (and you’re desperate because of the exploding family thing), they’d probably pressure you into not making them wear a condom.

        Not a deal breaker, TBH. Worst case I get AIDS and have to take pills for it for the rest of my life.

    Sell my car to the next person who walks by, I guess.

    But I’ll hint to them (family) strongly that I won’t be selling two cars, so they need to get less explodey.

    Easy. Sell a gun on FB Marketplace for a ridiculously low asking price. It would sell faster than I would be banned.

    Get a loan from the local loan shark.

    Go to the roulette table at the casino. Bet it all on 32.

    Lose my bet.

    Go back to the local loan shark for $40.

    Bet the $40 at the roulette table.

    Lose.

    Repeat until either I get the money to pay the loan shark and save my family. Or I gues it’s RIP for my family and my kneecaps.

    Depends how you define “make”

    If standard pay from job is too late, then I’d sell a CSP or CC from my brokerage account and I technically “made” the premium

    If that’s not urgent enough, take some jewelry to a pawn shop and hock it
