I'm giving away 50 SBD.
Yes. You read that right.
I'm giving SBD away.
Because, I can.
Because, why not?
[Insert how happy I am about steemit and the community and how we are all here to help each other and how wonderful the world is and all.]
Let me tell you why and how you can get 50 SBD:
- I have it.
- I don't care.
- I can do it.
- Nobody does it, so it must be the right thing to do.
- Anything that attract upvotes and resteems is worth it on this platform, right?
- The goal is always more important than the means.
- It's my hard-earned SBD, so why shouldn't I do it?
- I just write weird short stories and dump them in the cesspool and expect people to read them.
- The joke is really all on me. Giving away money is more funny than all of that.
- When I put very high conditions on how to get this free SBD, it's not my responsibility if people want to follow them.
- It's not like I am giving a reward to unethical behaviour.
- It's just a give-away of free money. Free SBD, I believe it is money, but haven't a of yet seen proof.
- I'm not just doing this give-away because Steem is worth less and less. This has nothing to do with it. I promise.
- O no, I'm using difficult words in a post on steemit, now nobody will read it. Ontological frustrations abound!
- Oh, wait, nobody reads this anyway.
- But if I give people 50 SBD to read this crappy amount of words, it's kind of a job, so it's okay, right?
- But if it is a job, am I responsible for the things people do in order to get the money?
- What if I don't ask them to read this, but also, like, kill someone?
- They can decide who, so it has nothing really to do with me, right?
- Perhaps if I ask someone to do harm to someone specific, or some group of people, that would get me in trouble, right?
- Oh no, wait, this is what governments and certain people do that all the time, don't they?
- It is weird for an individual with no power to get in trouble for doing something which people with power do all the time.
- I don't really want to get in trouble. Except certain types of trouble.
- Okay, this is going in directions I hadn't expected. It's what happens with freewrites.
- It's also what I hate about freewrites. At least in its published form.
- Okay, to be honest, I edited this list to pieces, but I left in the freewrite bit as it is correct.
- And for those who are still here for the money: I'm really going to give away 50 SBD to someone.
- But I decided not to let you know what the conditions are.
- Beware. Because for SURE. There are lots of conditions.
- I won't be able to tell you the conditions because of legal reasons.
- The first person to fulfill all my conditions will be receiving 50 SBD.
- Please leave evidence in the comment section.
- I tried to obfuscate this give-away, to give people a better chance to win.
- Making it this far at least shows me you've really tried and at least I'll be giving this SBD to someone worthy.
- Or maybe not worthy, but at least dedicated.
- Or persistent. Pig-headed.
- Intentions are more important than actions, right?
- The road to heaven is paved with some mediocre intentions.
- Make sure you have the best intentions!
- There is a deadline. Telling you the deadline would be stupid.
- I am many things. Even stupid at times. But not right now.
- Anyone with some deductive skills will now know the deadline.
- I am looking forward to picking the winner.
- I will accept bribes.
- I don't think this is worse than those bizarre writing contests where people expect you to write advertisement for some kind of product with a slight possibility for you to 'win' some money for it.
- If you work for it, you shouldn't have to 'win' your wage.
- This is just my opinion of course. Obviously this is not true, otherwise nobody would write real things on steemit.
- Oh, wait.
- I cannot deny or admit whether bribes are or are not part of the conditions.
- Spam comments on this post will be nuked into oblivion.
- I will share one part of the conditions only: Other people have no say about the conditions.
- In case of many bribes, I might decide to throw in more SBD, divided over more than one person.
- It is better to make more people happy than just one person, some silly people say.
- Obviously that is all wrong.
- Especially in this case.
- Because the only way to earn this 50 SBD is to make me happy.
- Happiness in this case means to have someone fulfill the conditions as described above.
- I am only one person.
- QED
Good luck everyone!

ps. This is an entry for @comedyopenmic, but only because there is some sarcasm in between the lines, not because this give-away is a joke. Jokes and punchlines have very little to do with quality comedy. If only people would finally start to understand that! (There are exceptions, like @diebitch who cannot but write high quality comedy. Even when she writes memes.)
ps. I encourage some other people to join in the giving away of sarcasm for the @comedyopenmic which is a weekly contest now already on round 17, especially the following steemians: @carlgnash and @nonameslefttouse. They both inspired me for this amazing give-away initiative.

We are all stupid for trying to get some of those SBD but, why not? yes we want to for being to clever of making bribes to someone who considered herself as a stupid persone but the true it's that she's not, because she likes to make us read betwen lines so, thats really clever or really obvious? Don't worry this is not an answer, this is a freewrite that she also hates doing like me but, who can provide the right answer? The right person that makes her laught or makes her cry of happines. We will never know for sure. The end!... or not... maybe we do have to do some killing or just killing time reading again and again... It's that really what this is all about?... Maybe thats what this is: a fun but painfully joke or not?.. Now this is the end of it!

Oh, this is a lovely bribe, thank you. You do know how bribes work, though? You need to hand them over first, before you know the outcome. Otherwise it's just a kind of buying. There is no fun in that.
But I'll wait to see if anyone can over-bribe you, before I commit myself to anything. Looking forward to all your insights though!

So, back when I was in college, I had a roommate named Chris. This dude was my best friend for 4 years. One time I chased him down 8 flights of steps, out the door at the bottom, and he did a header right there. We couldn't stop laughing. Another time we pulled a giant wooden fence off the side of a dumpster and he ended up pinned under it. Again - the laughter that followed hurt my sides. There are more stories, but you get the idea. This dude was somewhat clumsy, and also a really good friend with a great sense of humor.
When I left college I thought we'd stay friends and we did. For a time. In the end though, he had all these kids and they're going off to college in a few years, and I moved to Hawaii for a few years and we lost touch. I still call him twice a year, and three times in a rare year, when the Steelers play the Ravens to let him know the Ravens are going down and that's an important call.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you need someone to point a gun at your head and force you to be happy, I'll do it, but I'll need to borrow a gun. Do you have one?

I find myself at the precipice of insanity, forced by obligation to read all the bullet points as if they were the most important things in the world. Even though I was ready to give up when I saw words that I would have to read, and not Memes, I swallowed down the bile in my throat and crashed through one-after-the-other. I felt my mind going several time during the descent into the insanity; however, I survived and I thrived, thanks to my unswerving devotion to the Money.
Ok, I actually just continued reading because I thought, for sure, that there would be some subliminal joke embedded in the words... I was right. The embedded joke was on me, because the joke was watching my own pain as I kept on reading with no hint of Treasure at the end.
Therefore, without further ado, I should win because I'm just that awesome.

I simply love logical nonsensical contests, hence my full attention is given to fail dismally at not winning this contest.
How wonderful of you to draw us into a brief article of sizable length, in which the scantily presented full details, helps us back to the beginning.
You needn't have further eased our task, by muddying murky waters, where the facts were already as clear as obscure, by using words like 'obfuscate.'
thanks for the sincere lack of apology, predicated by the absence of substance, which completely validates the overwhelming basis upon which this contest is securely founded.
concerning your quiet rant on ontological matters; the same has a reoccurring fatal flaw, in that the ever growing 'great being' may be viewed in a perpetuity of limited mirrors, increasingly growing into infinity by halving statures...
It would be amiss of me not to comment on the issue of bribery (although I do admit it insufficiently suffices) - Let us never be bribed to sell ourselves short of what we are truly worth; all others are acceptable!!
So, while you ponder the fullness of my equally empty lines, let me proceed with vigor to the explore the fascination and wonder of the emptiness of life (and possibly challenge)....

50 SBD can be given to me. I have been working at Steemit for 1 month but I can not do anything. I can not invest the steemit because I am a middle class family member. 50 SBD will give me a lot of benefit if you give it. And I can go a long way in steemit with 50 SBD given to you.
