Artist makes art installation of bananas, sells it for $120000 someone eats a banana from it . Apparently he’s “ added tension “ to the artwork and the bananas have to be replaced when they rot anyway the $120000 was for the certicate .
I think we have reached peak artwank for 2019I'm convinced money laundering is absolutely rife in the modern art world.

Don't start me on anti money laundering rules. That is some stupid shit.
Selling a property at the moment is fucking ridiculous. How do you prove where the money came from 10 years ago? Apparently "I worked for 3 decades to earn it" isn't good enough. Fuckwits.

useful for political parties too, to hide donors.
Edit: everyone does it to some degree, this is just a Labour example

Selling clothes made from formerly carbon based sources does not count as "earned" income.

Of course it does. I'm a reputable citizen and pay my taxes.

@chimoaus I had a similar experience shopping for a tie. Being a tight bastard I was looking in the sale offers and saw one I vaguely liked. £10, or two for £5. On enquiring if this was a misunderstanding I was told "No. If you buy one it will cost you a total of £10, if you buy two it will cost you a total of £5".
I thought this was stupid, so I bought two and threw one in his rubbish bin.

Yes even at £5 i experienced severe buyer's remorse as soon as I got home. It swiftly became a Christmas present for my brother -in-law.

Do not judge others by your own bitter unforgiving standards.
And yes. Often.

I know shit gets cheaper when you buy in bulk but I still find this odd at the supermarket. 1.5l of water is 70c or get 600ml for a $1.
My guess is they know they can charge you more for the convenience of having a bottle that is portable and you can easily drink from, rather than something you would store in your pantry or fridge at home.
