it stands for virtual tuber.

you basically buy a potato online,
but instead of shipping it to your location,
you get sent a link to a picture of it.

No tuber is fungible. Each potato is special in its own way

So, it's like sponsoring a kid from a third world country?

[–] Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

nah, your not sponsoring it,
you invest in it.

its your potato after all,
you just cant actually eat it

Can someone else eat my k̶i̶d̶ potato?

[–] Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

of course not, what would be the point of investing in it otherwise?

its YOUR potato after all

Can I donate my potato to a starving 3rd world kid?

[–] Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

you could send them your image,
but they also can't eat it.

I'll still feel good for sending food to a starving kid, and that's all that counts.
