I give you 100 dollars (or the equivalent in your country) and you must spend it today all in a single thing. What do you pay/buy with it?

Vh
Some equally sized gift card to any shop I use.
I understood the assignment.
$100 worth of gold. Now I can sell it at any time to get the money back.
Most of a week of groceries.
Overdue bills.
Hiking shoes. I live in the mountains and haven't been on a proper hike in a long time because I keep putting the expense off.
I hand it to the first homeless person I see.
Food. Probably get a single catering size meal from a restaurant.
Weed
$100 of applewood smoked bacon
I shall feast
Probably a second hand Microsoft Surface Pro... To install Linux on it and use it as my mobile Krita tablet.
Hmmm in Canada I can't even buy a tank of gas with that. Isn't that even the price of an avocado now? 😢🤣
Buy several really good pizzas and share them around with whoever is hungry.
Half an hour with a callgirl.
A pair of shoes, if that counts as a "single" item.
If not... I'm stumped. Perfume maybe?
Used kids bike for my daughter, she's grown out of hers.
I would buy 3 different 'Dogs Playing Poker' prints for my office
Gonna buy some old thinkpad to add to my "collection"
My cable Internet bill or maybe the water bill. They're my lowest regular bills and they're about 100.
frozen burritos
funny i'm reading this thread literally the day I'm buying a new phone for a little over 100€
Tell my wife she's got $100 to spend today on anything she wants. She says no you. Then we get brunch from the local bakery.
(try to) Filling up the car with petrol. #fail. That's the first thing that I thought of that £78 might almost buy.
Or
Three pizzas.
Or
One bed flat energy bill for the month.
Or
Single person's grocery bill for maybe a fortnight.
An old console, probably a used PS3.
Now I have a free Blu-ray player too. And I can play epic games on it (not referring to that garbage company). Biggest bargain ever. Oh, and I can also store my music files and home videos on it.
All for 100 freedom eagles.
Buy a powerful server from cloud and host my own Lemmy instance!
An action camera probably. Those are cool for motorcycling and other things.
I'd add something from my pocket and get a cigar box guitar. As a mediocre bass player I always wanted to learn guitar, but because I'm obviously too stupid and cumbersome to learn proper guitar, cigar boxes might be an option since it has only half the strings. Plus it looks and sounds cool as fuck. And would be nice thing to introduce my wife and kids to active music.
Cocaine
Medical bill
a hundred just aint was what it was. its like asking in the 80's what you would do if you had a 20. It still annoys me place won't take over a 20 nowadays given how little a 20 is worth. its like not taking over a 5 in the 80's
I'm going to assume that I can't just buy a 100$ gift card to buy multiple things, so I'd probably just buy a cheap tablet/phone or something.
On a bit of a tangent, I actually looked into android tablets to see if you could actually buy one for 100$. It looks like you can get some decent ones but I'm so confused by their wording. I hate that they seem to use the terms "ram", "rom" and "memory" both interchangeably and completely differently from how their used for PCs. Does anyone else have this issue or is the mobile market completely different from the PC market?
A painting of a 100 dollar bill.
Weed
Lunch
Off the top of my head? Warhammer 40k mini
A wireless security camera to help monitor that nothing is trying to break into the hen house
I'd be like halfway to buying a good Japanese whisky. Can I spend some of my own money to get a nice bottle of Nikka?
Platinum oil change or an hour massage
Doing pretty good atm, so probably take my person out for dinner and drinks.
As a flashlight nerd, reviewer, and moderator of !flashlight@lemmy.world, I think I have to go with the Zebralight SC65c HI.
Sex toy I guess. I'll have to supplement some of my own money since sex toys are no longer cheap and $100 ain't shit anymore.
Chocolate.
Probably a wood chipper, but that's not going to get very far compared to the overall price here.
Fuel.
Some stock in MSFT probably.
Full tank of gas
Warhammer.
$100 worth of .22WMR. It's the only ammo I'm lacking and I so love my .22s.
Most of my Internet bill for the month
dong enhancement pills
New work shoes.
A single thing? I'd be tempted to get a bike, looking for ways to improve my cardio.
Probably something like a $100 dollar 720p USB webcam just to be able to try one of those programs that map your facial movements to a model. That or pay for someone to create a model and use my old phone as a makeshift webcam for my desktop.
Cheap microphone for the church band. We need a spare.
I guess I'd buy a hard drive, the store hasn't closed yet
Got this on sale, best $100 bucks I've ever spent on one thing has to be this puppy:
Heritage Rough Rider 16"
The literal Big Iron, will put some yee into anyone's haw, and it just puts a big fat dumb grin on my face whenever I go plinking with it.
Happy America day everyone, this is what we offer the world!
I would take 7 people to McDonalds.
