So, since eventually someone (most likely jhoijhoi) would try to demean everyone making godlike/legendary/etc. jokes, I was looking at how much it costs to completely save one african child (immunize him against all the common diseases and feed him till he's 18). This way I could make the argument "If you really cared about children dying then you'd have donated to charities instead of wasting money on a computer, since every X$ you waste could be used to save a child."
Turns out to ensure an african child reaches adulthood all you need is 800$. Just 800$. However, that's irrelevant after I found this:

That dude is a genius. His idea is that since we have established how much the life of a child costs, 800$, we can check how many children we're letting die with each transaction we make. Example:
I mean, to make the comparison between how much you spend and how much a child's life cost is easy, anyone can think about it, but turning it into a currency? Like I said, he's a genius. Hmm.. maybe it's a she..

Quoted:
One of America's top pro-life groups, Focus on the Family, spends two hundred thousand dead children a year pushing its message of conservatism and opposition to abortion. Take a second to fully appreciate the irony there.

Canos, since when would your morals stop you from getting first blood? That's 400g.
huh? Morals? Just because I share the view that people who pretend to care about dead children are a bunch of hypocrites doesn't mean I care. I'd never sacrifice my overall happiness to save someone I don't know. I only donate from time to time because it makes me feel above all the other ********s who won't give anything.
? I donate money every month. Automatically takes money from my account. To Wilderness Society Australia, RSPCA and Children's Mater Hospital.
So...

But you still use a lot more dead children on other stuff. Also, are you sure those are the best charities to donate to? They are probably using thousands of dead children to save only a handful.

When I have enough cash and political power. I have other projects that come before that, though.. like the one where I hire several people to take items out of vending machines, take a bite/sip and put it back in.
