I dunno, is that long enough?

Edit: Only 3.865 million years

He should have to pay rent the whole time too.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 75 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And taxes.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 47 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Not just taxes on what he makes in hell, but also the taxes he was supposed to pay while alive.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 38 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I'll add only that inflation 's a bitch, and you don't get raises in hell.

[–] PartyAt15thAndSummit@lemmy.zip 22 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I wonder how high the rent in hell is.

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 4 months ago

Check prices by the jersey turnpike

[–] Kage520@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Probably pretty cheap considering people are always dying to get in there

[–] UnpledgedCatnapTipper@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 months ago

Surely that'd make it expensive! It's in high demand!

[–] dovah@lemmy.world 19 points 4 months ago

And the debt accrues interest.

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 53 points 4 months ago

No, he can't spend all of his income paying down the debt.

He has to pay rent, medical bills, pay for his car and insurance before he can begin to repay his debt.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 31 points 4 months ago

No, because he'll still need to pay rent, utilities, and taxes. He'll be lucky if he pays off that debt before the heat death of the universe.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Might as well round it up to 4 to account for inflation.

[–] ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 months ago

20% increase in living expenses with no salary adjustment.

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 15 points 4 months ago

Fun fact: Lucy is dated 3.2 million years ago.

[–] NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 14 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

One year = 8,766 hours
33.88 x 10^9 / 8,766 = 3,865,551 Years
And I bet he spends another million years complaining about how unfair it is.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

you can be rich like him if you work hard

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago
