Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

A FUCKING HOUSE
Brothels are available for low prices
Load-bearing walls!
Double strapped and reinforced tie downs
I feel you.
I heard the banks where I live are thinking about providing multi-generational loans so people would be able to pay for them.
Amazing, that’s literally serfdom 😭
Can I do that and not have kids
They'll find some next-of-kin to pin it on, I'm sure
They'll take the building and sell it to some other shmuck for a massive loan
Nothing like having your kids pay for the house you buy…
You have inherited the family home...
...payments.
Don't worry kids. It will require you to be a slave only for a 30 years.
I mean, that is how a mortgage works. You don't have to accept the inheritance after all, or you could sell the house to pay the reminder of the mortgage. Still sucks.
The point is people used to be able to pay off the house in a reasonable number of years.
Oh, I fully agree here, the economy is fucked, money only moves one way (up), and housing is not really affordable unless you either settle for dogshit in bumfuck nowhere, or make a lot of money.
And then it’s still not affordable, because there’s no work out there.
Shit, this is an amazingly depressive development
