    Yes. I can spend those two hours watching door hinge repair videos on YouTube, I was going to do that anyway.

    This is how those onlyfans promo account posts read. “Would you (obese gamer virgin) fuck me (fit nude model) however you want if I begged you for it enough???”

    And then the comments like “yes baby I’d love to 😋😍😉”

    On a serious note, if you have a striped screw hole on a door hinge, put some tooth picks in the hole, snap off the bit that sticks out, and put the screw back in. I’ve fixed so many doors this way.

      Does it matter what direction the stripes run on the screw? :)

      To add to this, a stripped screw into concrete or brick can be fixed with the same method but using a small piece of copper wire the length of the screw.

          I’m making a dumb joke about your spelling haha. Striped is like a zebra, as in having stripes. Stripped is what happens when a screw is stripped.

    Plot twist, you’re teleported in a room that will be set on fire if a switch isn’t pressed within 2 hours and broken door hinge blocks you from pressing it

    I would simply use $250 million to buy replacement door hinges for the ones I can’t fix during that time. Easy peasy.

      A piece of paper with number “1” written on it.
      A piece of paper with number “2” written on it.
      A piece of paper with number “3” written on it.

      Damn it, I was so close

    You all are misinterpetting this. If in the rest of your life you spend 2 hours or more fixing door hinges the 500 million is revoked and if you’re in the negative now they take your organs to make up for the deficit.

      If I had half a billion dollars I can promise you I would be spending zero seconds of the rest of my life screwing in door hinges.

        I can imagine the genie thinking “Bwahaha I tricked you!” and then getting increasingly frustrated that I never fix a door hinge again even though I didn’t notice the trick wording.

          Right? It’s like… let’s see. I have half a billion dollars. I just noticed my door hinge isn’t working correctly. Do I

          A. Attempt to fix it, requiring maybe a trip to the hardware store, but at the minimum some time and effort
          B. Ask my assistant to call someone and go back to playing video games

          I know what I’d do.

    I just honestly don’t think I could. They say money can’t buy happiness and it sure as hell can’t buy a properly self installed and adjusted door hinge.

    Replace your ‘door’ hinges with ‘cabinet’ or ‘industrial maritime’ hinges and your semantic loophole is set.

    I would buy a tent and a pickup truck. Then I’ll set up a tent in the back of the pickup truck. And I’m going to have a house on wheels without door hinges because tents don’t have door hinges. Crazy enough?
