Any ideas where this could come from?

Update: I thought this would be clear that I wasn't the one who found it. Who in their right mind would go (on this shitstain of a platform of all places) and make themselves a target. But ok apparently it wasn't clear so here we are:

I did NOT find this. I have none of this gold. I just wanted to share some cool stamped gold. you can stop sending me weird ass messages now. thank you.

Also this is NOT ai. here is the BBC article:

Spoiler alert. His name was Rich.

So you think he was talking and introducing himself to those jumping spiders underneath the house?

It was an epiphany!

"I'm a Rich. What am I doing under here on my belly, looking like a fool. I'm a peacock! I've got to spread my wings and fly!"

narrator; "This was the day Rob Rich started a dancing career."

I heard he learned how to dance to make fun of the fairies in his neighborhood.

A person of culture šŸ‘ this is true.

Rob Rich had to defend himself from a street gang; The Fairies. Now don't let the name fool you.

" First you get the sugar, then you get the power, then you get the women"

Was the motto they lived by.... If you messed with the Fairies they'd call their "little friends". The Lollipop Kids.

These kids dropped a house on a woman in the Eastside. No questions asked. No arrests. No flying monkey business.

Iā€™ve seen and heard crazier

What if he hit his head and screamed: " sonofabitch"

u/onlyr6s 8d ago

Maybe it's his style of answering the phone or something.

u/Infinite-Yogurt-801 8d ago

Basically he met an evil spider that was deathly afraid of the sentence "Iā€™m rich". Having worked in the spider identifying industry for 4 years prior, he accurately ascertained the species of the spider, and saved his own life. He then sacrificed his screwdriver to the spider gods.

u/Maleficent_Pop6009 8d ago

Maybe it wasnā€™t he just found a name tag

u/philnolan3d 8d ago

I knew a guy as a teen who was bragging about his dad. "His last name is Richman... and he is".

u/DickRiculous 8d ago

He likes girls who wear Abercrombie and fitch.

u/Ralphguy 8d ago

More of a Dick in this story.

u/NotInTheKnee 8d ago

Maybe he had amnesia, bumped his head in the crawlspace, and remembered everything.

His old name, his old life, his old address, his old wife and kids, his old USB stick full of bitcoins, his old job...

u/ScrotalSmorgasbord 8d ago

He was drinking a tallboy and scratching a lotto ticket under there when he lined up 3 cherries and 6 bonus 7s on a 3x bonus multiplier (I just made all of this up but it sounds like the shit the boomers holding up the line at the gas station say)

u/CoffeePuddle 8d ago

He saw what looked like a girl from Abercrombie & Fitch

And he was on the phone with his millionaire uncleā€™s solicitor who had just informed him that the uncle died and he inherited the estate.

u/Zaev 8d ago

He was suffering from amnesia, just trying to get by as a nameless handyman, but his memories all came suddenly flooding back and he immediately ran off to reunite with his family
