And yes you have to spend it all

Edit: There are a lot of little good things in these answers that I often ignore. Thanks everyone.

    15$?

    Register a domain name based on some hair brain fantasy for the year.

    Then spend the year ideating and fantasizing about what might be while doing nothing.

    Thats a whole year of value for 15 bucks.

    I think I’d buy some bugs for my lizard. Maybe some hornworms? They’re very good for hydration and basically every reptile that eats bugs goes absolutely crazy for them!

    If my buddy is happy, then I’m happy, too.

    Here’s a picture of my ugly boy, Pączki.

      Superb nakey wrinkly man!!! That Beardie morph was called something like Silkback or Leatherback right? Do they still slightly change their color like normal Beardies? :o

      I’d go with the same gist of answer! I’d get some fun snack for my girl Revy, maybe Quail or African Soft Fur, and the rest of the budget would go to random fun enrichment items :)

        Herps herps herps!!

        Yeah, he’s a silkback. Less of a “morph” and more of a genetic nightmare. Definitely would never recommend to anyone who doesn’t have a ton of time & money to spend caring for them, + extensive experience with bearded dragon care. A leatherback is the best option of you’re looking for a bit of a smoother dragon!

        Revy is adorable!! What breed & morph is she?

          Whoa, that sounds exhausting haha! Do they need like, moisturizer to help them shed? :o

          Revy is a Ball Python, her morphs are Black Pastel, Lesser and GHI (maybe also Confusion and maybe het Clown, the breeder wasn’t sure). Surprisingly, the cool stripe isn’t from something like the Genetic Stripe morph, just a weird effect from the combination of her 3 morphs. Her mom (also BP, Lesser and GHI) actually looks super similar, but has random breaks in the stripe, so Revy just got lucky I guess!

      Huh, I didn’t know that there were beardies without scales and spikes. Judging by his face, they still shed and it looks like sunburned skin peeling.

        He’s a bearded dragon with a genetic defect that caused him to be born without proper scales or spikes.

        Because of that, he’s a “special needs” animal, so he needs lots of extra care to keep him healthy.

        I’d definitely recommend (fully scaled) bearded dragons as pets! Mine is an excellent cuddle-buddy and constantly makes me smile with his dumb goofy antics and curiosity.

    An icecream for me, one for my wife, and enough fuel to drive to the waterfront so we can eat them while sitting at the edge of the pier, swinging our legs.

      That’s very sweet. I guess I’d do something similar: buy a crab bucket and a rope, and head down to the waterfront where I’d swim under piers and see how many people’s dangling legs I can hook and pull under with the rope

    It depends on what I’m trying to maximize.

    If I just want the happiness spike ASAP, then I would just buy $15 worth of Magic cards, or maybe a booster pack or three, depending on the set.

    If I’m trying to maximize my overall happiness over any amount of time, I think spending $15 on something reusable, like a nice pair of socks or a hat would work out for me.

    If I want to maximize happiness in general, then spending it on someone else I care about does double duty. It makes someone else happy, and I get happiness from being involved in the process.

      Darn Tough socks on sale. Merino wool, so you dont have to wash them every time if you use wool wash and air then out (and don’t wear then without shoes (dirt)), and a lifetime warranty. Now that’s a nice $15 pair of socks.

    It’s so hot right now I’d probably spend it on ice cream and/or frozen custard. Then be in the bathroom an hour later because I’m lactose intolerant.

    Buy Minecraft, which apparently is on sale for $14.99. It’s not quite as fun when all your friends have the official version and get to play together while you’re stuck with an - *ahem* - unofficial version.

      For zero monies you & your friends could run VoxeLibre which has better performance characteristics. Microsoft doesn’t deserve your money or your user data, but I am sure VoxeLibre or Minetest wouldn’t mind a donation.

        Minecraft is still a really good game that still gets fairly large updates.

          It’s being milked for Bedrock & there are dozens of free software alternatives with VoxeLibre being a standout

            Use java than 🤷

            Or use bedrock and ignore all the bullshit if you can.

            Are free versions even close to Minecraft in features, polish, and all that?

            I personally think that Minecraft is one of the best games you can buy for the fairly low price, community, multiplayer, etc.

              At that point play the free alternative and dont give your money to Microsoft. Do you love throwing your hard earned money at Microsoft?

                I just doubt that the free alternatives are as good and Minecraft is really cheap anyways.

                  Have you tried the free alternatives? I guess to me its not the price alone its the principles of giving Microsoft money.

              They are more than complete/polished with multiplatform support, with healthy modding communites, & better performance since they aren’t built on Java. In the past your money went to the developers—now it goes to megacorp Microsoft with little done in terms of maintenance.

                Minecraft has gotten a lot of updates after Microsoft bought Mojang.

                I don’t personally mind paying a small amount for a good product that is constantly getting better after many years.

                Sure Java could have better performance but it’s rare that it matters much on modern computers.

                You do you but I don’t think paying for things is the end of the world.

      On the topic of games, Stick Fight The Game is $5 on steam and I got it while drinking with a few friends. It was the most fun I’ve had in years. I also hop on randomly when I get a chance and it’s just as fun with random people.

    I sat here and thought about it, and I truly think I’d go to the dollar store, buy a few cheap water guns, and have a water fight with my sisters and their kids. Remember how fun water fights are??? Even those cheap little water guns; doesn’t have to be fancy. Leftover money would go to popsicles.

      I prefer the little fake Nerf guns but same principle. You can get several and several darts for $15 and then you can do it in the house.

    Fellow lemmings, I, for one, would spend that 15 dollars on a copy of the “Barbie” movie on Blu-ray and digital, because nothing would make me happier.
