    We have these coin lock trollies here.

    I made a tool that bypasses the coin lock so I know that every time I return my trolley I am motivated purely by social concern and not self interest.

    I am 100% serious, I wish I knew what was wrong with me.

      I am motivated purely by social concern and not self interest.

      In that case, allow me to fix that last line for you:

      I am 100% serious, this is what’s right with me.

      Be the change and all that. Keep being socially conscious - we need that more than ever right now.

        It’s completely derranged to be so annoyed at the idea of being coerced into doing something that you buy a thing, pull it apart and figure out how it works, make a tool to bypass it, and continue doing exactly the same thing but now “freerer”

            Only someone from a nordic country could look at satire of conformity and say “Good idea!” the remarks later in the article, my lord. While I’m all for a tight binding social contract I think you should be encouraged to be weird while fulfilling it!

          We even have those little plastic coins in Aus! Just had to ask at the help desk at the supermarket and they’d give you one with its own little keyring adaptor too! Really useful when you needed it!

        I can give you knowledge of the craft of bypassing but you must swear that you shall not misuse it, nor pass it on before determining the good character of the receiver and swearing them to this same oath.

        You may find in time the knowledge weighs heavily upon you, and you will be forced to confront who you truly are.

        (trolleys are srs biznus)
