Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity 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 !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

My grandma was a millionaire (nobility, rich dad, rich husband). She didn't have to worry about money whenever she wanted to do/buy something and she could have clothes made. She's also had a lot of political influence purely because she knew the right people.
She always drove an Opel Kadett, had a 2 bedroom house with an artist's mezzanine and then a 2 bedroom flat when she could no longer walk the stairs. Could afford a carer every day when she got ill. Didn't spend a penny on anything ostentatious (that was "common"), spent plenty on travelling around the world.
Her occasional "do you know who I am" attitude made me cringe, but for the rest she was pretty normal, really 🤷.
PS am not rich, she had the audacity to have a ton of kids (and the title went to the eldest son).
