On your mom's face.

I completely expect this to be flagged but I just couldn't resist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think I never saw such a garbage comment here. Feeling honoured it happened in a thread I made..

While I wouldn't encourage betting, if you are willing to deal with their growing pains, Augur is a verifiable, decentralized betting platform: https://augur.net/

Vitalk has a nice write-up on it: https://vitalik.ca/general/2021/02/18/election.html

I won't indulge much. It's just sometimes you feel you have a real clue.

What do you mean ?
