Get a loan from the local loan shark.
Go to the roulette table at the casino. Bet it all on 32.
Lose my bet.
Go back to the local loan shark for $40.
Bet the $40 at the roulette table.
Lose.
Repeat until either I get the money to pay the loan shark and save my family. Or I gues it’s RIP for my family and my kneecaps.
sell a joke to my family for $40.
I make that in an hour of work. So… keep doing what I’m doing?
Easy. Sell a gun on FB Marketplace for a ridiculously low asking price. It would sell faster than I would be banned.
Ask my friends to transfer money real quick.
Time to get into sex work.
I don’t have anything I could sell that quickly, even.
Was my first thought tbh.
Sell my car to the next person who walks by, I guess.
But I’ll hint to them (family) strongly that I won’t be selling two cars, so they need to get less explodey.
Sell my shirt to my dad for $40. I’m pretty sure he’d rather buy my shirt than explode.
Run to the neighbours and try to sell some DVDs
Depends how you define “make”
If standard pay from job is too late, then I’d sell a CSP or CC from my brokerage account and I technically “made” the premium
If that’s not urgent enough, take some jewelry to a pawn shop and hock it
Um…my job?
Right? 3 hours is $288. Any other families that need not exploding?
Go to work for an hour
Take my bottles to the depot
Ask a buddy to spot me 40
Sell a couple things
… check my bank account?
$40 isn’t that much money…
40 dollars? That’s all? I’m salaried and can work any hours I want to, so I guess I’m logging in at work and writing a few lines of code or answering some emails.
Twenty minutes will do it. Probably round it up to half an hour just to be safe. And honestly, if I get into the zone, an hour will fly by, easy.

Sorry family. I got into the flow at work. Oops about that.
Can’t I just take $40 out of my wallet?
Grab all the canned stuff I made at home, and either just ask my mother to buy all them for 40 (a family member can pay me, right?) or convince the family friend who loves the candied jalapeños to buy them.
