Then you have not been paying attention to WSB for very long. It's full of degenerate gamblers, so many loss porn posts come from people saying, "How will I pay my rent this month?"

Most of the time, WSB is a community to commiserate about losses and lie about gains.

"How will I pay my rent this month?"

That's something I'd say to be funny, especially on reddit.

I am with you historically, but people seem to be taking this way more seriously than previous similar shenanigans, so I'm re-evaluating my prior dismissals.

I feel like a lot of that sort of rhetoric on there is highly highly sarcastic. Half the time “how will I pay the rent?” Is followed by something along the lines of “my wifes boyfriend will never forgive me” the very next sentence.
