Roy: Weirdest thing just happened… (notices the fire) FIRE!!!

Moss: I’ve sent an email. It’s fine.

Roy: An email?! It’s a fire! Where’s… Where’s the extinguisher?

(Moss points out that the extinguisher is also on fire!)

Roy: How?!

Moss: Made in Britain!

That second "0" should be a "9". I don't know why I'm so bothered by this, but I had the song playing in my head, and it got derailed.

Excellent!

for next challenge multiply the 3 numbers in back if your card by 2 and then add 1

Are you going to ponder something... Spherical?

Those runescape players are going to be very confused when they learn how to use the mouse to look around.

Wow that's so interesting! I like to compare that with the day it expires! When was that again?

11

Better this one version

Take your credit car number, multiple by 100, add the 3 numbers on the back on the card, multiple by 1000, add the 4 numbers on expiration date. Post on the comment.

"And we will be sending your new credit car in the mail sometime next week, sir."

"Sorry, do you mean, credit card?"

"I didn't misspeak, sir. How big is your mailbox..."

That's one hell of a lock on that luggage.

13

The worst is it costs a $2.64 surcharge each time to open, and then the luggage asks you to tip it!

OMG! I HAVE THE EXACT SAME NUMBER!

Wait what three digit number do you have on the back? No way those match too.

?OVERFLOW ERROR

Some day, some day, I'll be able to afford a 16-bit computer! I hear it's the latest thing!

i got in the end process: 4252 4726 1539 2743 Does it has some utility? What will you use it for ? :O I took the big number in the center but i am not sure if it is the right one though. There's also: 04/23, 04/26, and an inscription saying "Edwin Bearstown" in the bottom, but i coudn’t do the math with it so i put it as it is. On the back, there's 3 digits "674". Did i do it right?

where am i

It may seem there are ways to brute force those pretty easy numbers ╮(︶▽︶)╭

lemm.ee

Yeah it's only 3 numbers

(Edit. Guys, it's an example. There's no reason to list every single type of option in existence. The point the same.)

10

There are banks that will generate a pin for every transaction that is not using the physical credit card or associated phone, or that is over a certain amount, requiring you to carry the phone at all times.

5

Make a list of all the people vulnerable enough to post that information and start messaging them to get as much more as they will give.

Yeah I’m sure you’ve got the same expiry date as well!

Oh I am so sorry, here you go my friend!

It doesn't seem to be the case, but it would be interesting if there were CC numbers that were meant to be used in movies, similar to how 555-XXXX phone numbers are never real.

There's some sample numbers for testing payment applications like stripe.

  • Visa: 4242424242424242
  • Mastercard: 5555555555554444
  • Discover: 6011000990139424
  • Amex: 371449635398431

Too bad the Visa and Mastercard ones are so obviously fake.

Why is it "too bad" if they're used for testing?

Because it would be nice to have a card number that looked plausible that could be used in movies. Imagine if every phone number in a movie had to be (555) 555-5555. It would break your suspension of disbelief.

Oh wait, that's the address for my contract.

Gotta do that roofing contract

Oops, I did a switcheroo on the question. But I used my real CC number, swear on my eyes.

Your social security number is your account balance. How much do you have?

Don't worry, the people who wrote Lost don't understand Lost either.

3
lemmy.world

No you either don't understand math in general or how to follow instructions.

Because as written, these are two wholly separate operations. So there's no "order" to them except linearly.

And even if you wrote it out, you still couldn't end up with 0 unless your card number is 0.

Don't have a CC, debt is a trap don't fall for it. I'm a monero maximalist.

lemmy.world

Credit cards make you in debt to the bank and your debit card balance is the bank's debt to you.

3

CC "debt" that's paid off in full every month is debt in the same sense that eating at a typical restaurant puts you in debt.

Don't get me wrong, unmanageable CC debt is a real thing, but that's not what we're talking about.

Great, now the universe is going to be destroyed and replaced with something even more bizarre and nonsensical.

What is the starting number? 0?

Backwards: Start with 0, add 0, multiply by 1.

Forwards: start with 0, multiple by 1, add 0

First out-loud laugh of the day. It doesn't hurt that Bob Odenkirk was there (love Mr Show w/ Bob and David). Well done.

Haha idiot

Credit card numbers have check digits. You will just get a invalid credit card number

0

I multiplied all the numbers against each other. Those zeroes really did a number on my results.

I liked this meme until I thought, wouldn’t it be cooler if it were a complex and reversible operation? 3/10 doesn’t deceive enough
