Welcome to R-Slash, a podcast where I read the best post from across Reddit.

Today's subreddit is R-Slash Choosing Beggars, where someone wants to hire a full-time nanny

for one dollar an hour. I'm buying a vintage McDonald's playground from up near La Trobe,

and I would like a licensed contractor to install it on my vast acreage, kind of like a theme park

I'd be starting. I'm located roughly 5 kilometers off the highway on a 1.5 acre lot, which is just

massive. I need someone to bring concrete, do curbing, bring in bark and sand, maybe also gravel,

and then run their excavator to repair and install the playground. I make decent money, so I have

enough for the materials. I would just like to barter for the labor. I was thinking, once the

playground slash theme park is up and running, you could bring your kids a last Sunday of every

voided, because I'm just too busy for substitution days. We have free range chicken and quails,

so we can provide a bunch of big sandwiches. We're thinking like $4 per sandwich, or maybe $5

with cheese like McDonald's. Or, and tear me out here choosing Beggar, let's just think about this.

Or, a licensed contractor could just take their kids and McDonald's where they could buy egg and

cheese sandwiches and play on the playgrounds for free. Well, obviously the sandwiches wouldn't be

free. You'd have to pay like $4 or $5 for those, but the play equipment would be free.

And how are you going to say, uh, I make decent money on my massive property, but I don't have

enough money to pay you this dude. And this dude's bragging about his massive 1.5 acre lot. Dude,

a 1.5 acre lot isn't even all that big. And this play equipment, man, if you're listening to

this story and not watching, this play equipment looks like something out of five nights at

Freddy's. It is horrific. It is twisted metal and faded paint. And I feel like I'm getting

tetanus just by looking at this thing. Seeking a babysitter to come to my home on an ongoing
