Sovcit did a thing.
(lemmy.world)
Narrator: She did, in fact, take no for an answer.
"i gave up and left, but won't take no for an answer!"
that ending was probably the most insane part of that post - and it was a pretty insane post.
"and I said wrong" and the bank manager agreed and gave me a million dollars and everyone applauded.
Oh no wait, that's not what happened at all. But you keep not taking no for an answer. I hear banks have armed security these days.
The collateral is the paper?? Holy shit
This bit is slightly less removed from reality than the average SovCit rant. The collateral is the house, but the piece of paper (deed/lien) says who legally owns the house. Without that documentation, the bank wouldn't accept the fact that a house merely exists, as collateral for the loan.
But like any good SovCit, they take the grain of truth and try to fill a canyon with it.
It’s even a bit more esoteric than that. Depending on the jurisdiction even the deed is worthless unless you registered it and/or gave adequate notice to anyone with a current or future interest in the property (newspaper announcement is a classic example). This is one of the many reasons that a County Register of Deeds is so important.
What is a "medallion stamp negotiable instrument"?
But nice of her to share her cheat codes with her friend. That's what I did on the playground in the 90s, too.
I don't know, some nonsense they believe.
I bet you it’s one of those “silver” things they claim is the real money. Like how they give little silver bricks? Maybe some strange corner of the sovcit world started producing “real” “money” with this “silver” stuff, stamped into a coin shape for these sovcits to scream about when no one accepts it as currency.
Probably some pewter or brass charm she bought from a charlatan.
Easy, you let it wave back and forth in front of the banker: "Your eyelids are heavy, you hear only my voice, when you wake up you'll be convinced that I have paid you in full"
I like that. Some of the things Bones posts here are about as inscrutable as Game Genie codes. At the same time, the rest have that "die in this specific spot and unlock infinite lives" energy.
This one has “L is real 2401” energy.
L is real 2401
I actually had to look that one up. That's much better.
It sounds to me like they printed their own "money." Then they pulled out some section of law that they've misinterpreted to mean that the bank has to accept her Karenbucks.
They said silver medallion -- probably Stanley Nickels.
I'm imagining this person talks the same way they write, just one big run on sentence rapid fired at you without pausing for breath.
That just means he learned English on Reddit. It's all good.
Is the “wood if notes box” thing meant to be some kind of magical incantation for evading legal obligations?
I read that part of the sentence about 20 times and I still haven't got a clue what it's supposed to mean.
“Wood” = “would”
These posts are allergic to punctuation. So there also should be a “.” or something after the “would”.
I got that, but wtf does would if notes box mean
I can’t decide if it’s “notes box” or “box bankers”.
I do know that it’s best to not burn too much brain power trying to decipher lunatics.
You have to get fluent in misspellings, wrong words, and lack of punctuation to read SovCit. It's "...like I knew they would; if notes box bankers..."
I mentally added in the spelling and punctuation when I read it, it still doesn't make sense to me.
What are they attempting to say here?
My guess:
note - a banknote or promissory note
box - like 'big box store,' translating to a physical business location
Yeah, "big-box-banknote bankers" or even "big-box-bank-ers" makes a little more sense and has the right kind of contempt for this rant. And to be fair, with the consolidation of small banks into major players these days, a tad relatable.
Sovcit yet again misunderstands basic economics.
A vast oversimplification, but currencies hold value because of a combination of being backed up by material assets, and widespread trust in the backer of those assets.
If your currency is neither backed by something of value, nor trusted by literally anybody, then your currency holds no value - end of story.
If anybody could just write note on a random piece of paper that said it was worth $10 million and cash it at the bank, don't they think somebody high-profile would've done just that by now?
That's the fundamental truth of most "clever tricks": If it worked, it would be heavily exploited for profit.
Companies are good enough at doing that, but even they aren't trying to sell whatever note this SovCit thinks will magically make them rich.
The best thing in these is "deciphering" the actions of the poor person their interacting with. Banker handled it well lol.
I can't figure out what happened...Google translate doesn't have sovcit moroneese as an option.
I think he thinks a stamp with a medallion is money he can deposit.
“Wood”
These dorks think that "fiat" is just a kind of car.
