I don’t know if yard sales count but here’s a nice little find

Found this at a Wisconsin Goodwill.
Went back over a week later to see that it was still there. I bought it.
The cringe is real.
A yes please and a no thanks
spooky-catboy-angel asked:
what’s the best (funniest/weirdest) shirt you’ve featured on this blog?
I think it’s the doerstarbt one because we had no idea what the fuck it was about til someone sent in the real version.
It’s a badly translated shitpost of a math joke:
It’s been one of the best sellers in our store for years, you just have to add your own beads.

I found the value of the pennies using volume. For the sake of simple numbers I imagined that the pennies go up to the top line, giving a rough volume of 6000ml of pennies which is equivalent to 6000cm^3 of pennies. According to the internet, the volume of a penny is 0.360cm^3, which means that there are about 2.78 pennies per cubic centimeter. Multiply that by 6000cm^3 and you get 16,666.7 pennies. Divide by a hundred to get dollars and you get $166.70 worth of pennies. Of course it wouldn’t be that perfect, there’s gaps between the pennies and stuff, but considering that there’s a huge gap at the top that I was pretending didn’t exist, that uncertainty doesn’t really register. So probably somewhere around $150-$160 in pennnies? Maybe I’m wrong but my math seemed sound. Feel free to point out errors.

This thread is full of math, I love you guys.
Sorry if this has been submitted before, but I went thrifting today and I’m pretty sure I found the origin of the “don’t you doerstarbt” shirt.
Admin Didi says: Holy SHIT. You did. You found the original that the terrible knockoff spawned from. Then we spawned a terrible knockoff off of that. The circle of fucking life.
