I just can't imagine how long it would take to dig every day with 100 Knuffels... I'd probably stop at ten just from getting overwhelmed by what's left, lol

And yeah, apples and cupcakes are pretty expensive, but for their usefulness, totally worth it.

@Moonstar- and I had really good healthcare insurance so imagine all the people who dont have any insurance. their only option I feel like is to just suffer :mccry:

And on that note look at this meme I just saw:
Spoiler: In spoiler cause it looked big

@Hotario- I get you... digging with 30 every day is a pain too. And sounds so time consuming omg.

Also I think a knuffel pays for themselves and their apple + cupcake so I dont mind buying it after they reach 100.

Also I despise feeding and playing with them lol. I have too much trauma for the before days (before daycares and pills lol)

Hehehehe, I also remember the days before daycare and apples/cupcakes, I could never go back to them, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I USED TO FEED AND PLAY WITH ALL MY KNUFFELS DAILY. WHAT MADNESS.

Also OMFG that meme. What the hell.

And yeah, from 5k to 2k, that's bank-breaking for tons of people, and clearly they could have reduced it even more, but they want their cut of overinflated prices. >.>

Knuffels absolutely pay off their apples/cupcakes after a while, but for a lot of people I'm assuming the down-payment is too steep, lol.

OMG I used to sell my services to feed and play with other people knuffels.... so on top of mine I was doing like 100s+ DAILY. it was insane. I don't understand how I manage school and work and other stuff on top of that??


I KNOW ISNT THAT BILL SO HIGH? and that person had INSURANCE. god america needs to fix their system man. I rather pay higher taxes and never worry about that again. Also my taxes are like 3% more than what I paid in florida so like...... :mcsweat:

WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO YOURSELF. Absolutely wild, I struggled with my smoll batch, you were adding to yours by helping others with theirs, madness.

Honestly America needs to fix a lot more than just their system, it probably needs a straight out overhaul, but the healthcare stuff is just because of pharmaceutical companies having monopolies and other stuff like that, I think? So they inflate prices and lobby for other companies to keep their prices high and yada yada. (And aren't insurances literally one of the reasons why hospitals inflate their prices? Because they can claim any amount and the insurance will "pay it", and it's the people without insurance that get saddled with crazy bills??? I think I remember reading something like that, but idk.)

I WAS BROKE AND NEEDED MONEY. lol this was before lava lamps and other things too :mccry: BUT fc were 8k each!

Yea I think for people with no insurance there were many ways to lower the cost. Like ask for an itemized bill (they charge for stupid shit). Ask for medical help and I think even some payment plans. Also some places would be like okay instead of 10k you can only pay 3k? Okay we will accept that as full payment.

Are cupcakes/apples that expensive? XD I didn’t think it was that bad…?

Gosh, 30 knuffels is like nothing lol.
And I rarely play/feed my knuffels, I just use pills. XD I sometimes ask those for payment as well.

There's a reason why I'm always broke and never get all the digging items. Omg, I only have like, 25 knuffle, and I seriously can't be bothered. I need more apples and cupcakes. I only have a couple so I've always just done it the hard way. I rarely actually dig with all of mine since feeding/playing takes too long.

As someone broke in America and chronically ill, most of us do just suffer and hope that we don't die.

I'm lucky that I qualify for medicaid, which means that all the healthcare stuff they cover is free. But very few people qualify for it, and it's super easy to get kicked off of it.

When I was able to work I had to go to the hospital sometimes. I still get calls from debt collectors over it. I just didn't pay. Now, that wouldn't work well for most people since it destroys your credit, which you need to buy houses/cars/etc. But I figure that I'm probably never going to dig my way out of poverty unless I literally win the lottery so I didn't pay hospital bills.

And now I have the number blocked on my phone so I just gotta delete that message once a day and they don't bother me that much anymore. lol


If y'all don't remember the OLD old days of knuffel when you would have to feed/play with your knuffels were full TWICE to get all of the digs out of them. It's much easier now. :qh:
