Reply to comment by xCreamPye69 in ELI5: Why does the IRS want your illegal income declared on tax returns? by xCreamPye69
It’s not that you report it as “illegal income,” you just report it as “other income” and don’t specify the source. As long as you declare it and pay the taxes, the IRS doesn’t care where it came from.

Reply to comment by FatQuack in TIL that all the gold that has ever been mined in all of human history could fill about three Olympic-sized swimming pools. by westondeboer
The mining rate increased so much during the Industrial Revolution that the total gold mined in the millennia before probably fits in the margin of error for the estimate

The nature of technology is that any hardware we are capable of making today will likely be obsolete in 10 years, so it’s not possible to make something that will not become obsolete in short order

My checking account gives me 4% so your numbers are out of date. I pay no maintenance fees, annual fees, or membership fees. Maybe you just have a shitty bank
