Although I’ve already posted this comic strip, an user has detected a misspelled word, so I’ve fixed it and reposted it.

        Well I guess if you start with the gold first and don’t ever change the amount. If would have to be much smaller though because gold is so dense.

          Oh it’s a vault not just solid gold. I see what you meant now. Presumably it’d be built mostly full.

    He didn’t make that money by manufacturing selfie sticks. He made that money by owning the factory where workers manufactured selfie sticks, and that planet full of gold represents money the workers earned, but didn’t get to keep.

      Yo it says he lives in a planet by himself. So he HAD to make them all himself, and either he had to build inter-planetary rockets himself or this other society that wants selfie sticks so bad (but apparently can’t make their own) had to travel across space to get them…?

      wait. On second thought. Wtf did I just read??

        Maybe the planet he lives on all by himself isn’t the planet the selfie sticks were manufactured on?

    The selfie sticks had AI and crypto built in.

    He actually only made money on the IPO.

    It would have been funnier with a reference to the treasureplanet I think but well, the reference is kinda there.

    Gold isn’t that rare if you have cheap space travel. Although planet sized is a decent chunk.
