Not the dumbest thing I’ve heard of huge amounts of money getting spent on it.

You hear about that dipshit who spent 44 billion buying one of the most popular social media sites in the world only to not use its name?

For anyone else curious, “Discord kitten” is apparently a (mostly sarcastic) slang term for “suger baby”. I was really hoping for actual kittens, but alas.

Breadhax0r ,

I had heard that term before, but was hoping there was some other meaning revolving around something in their steam inventory

I will never understand why people would spend so much money to be on top of such a leaderboard. And to spend so much money to have a gun that is offensive in a game.

GetOffMyLan ,

Because they’ve got enough money that it doesn’t matter at all to them.

Stop giving these people attention, simple as.

9000 dollars for a gun in CS!? I spent that much for my entire steam library. Sounds utterly disgusting to me.

BruceTwarzen ,

Isn’t that not even a crazy amount for CS standards? Don’t get me wrong, it’s insane to me how people spend money on this. But i thought the most expensive items are in the 10s or 20 thousands.

What’s with the “the article does x” retelling, it gives me the biggest ick. What’s wrong with just quoting a salient paragraph or two?

Smells like a AI generated summary to me.

It certainly is and I absolutely fucking hate it.

Do I even want to know what Discord Kitten is?

And to answer most people’s question, this is commonly referred to as being unwell. It the result of an untreated addiction, plain and simple.

Sometimes, when I think I’m stupid af, I remember that people like this exist and I feel a little better.
