It may not be HD.. It doesn't have the best battery life.. But the Amazon Fire 7 is definitely the best tablet you can get (for $40) so why not? It does Netflix, it has a headphone jack, what more do you want? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

1. Buy the "With Special Offers" Fire 7
2. Root the device with CWM
3. Install Lineage
4. Enjoy a decent tablet for the price
Thank you for sharing. I learn so much from others sharing.
A 4 year old tablet from another maker would make a better tablet.
@@lancelotxavier9084 You're not buying that for $30.
Mitch Johnson but you can buy a refurbished iPad for cheap tho. 65 and up. Go for the iPad.
@@igotbandaids What if you receive bad/incomplete tips? Such as the ones from OP. 😂
You don't need root to flash a custom ROM.
Why Clockwork Mod? (CWM)
He meant to say ANY custom recovery.

so true
Idobbz makes everything better
impressive
Idubbbz is daddy
I was worried about replacing my high-end older oasis with this one ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCgPI5O2AtmcHq9SJhgsCGbpAzJAJfrJp but it is surprisingly light and the screen resolution is just as good. I never had the warm light on my old kindle, but i do not use it on the ipad so I will probably not need it. I think the only thing I'll miss is the self-adjusting light, but this is so worth it!
Linus: it has amazon's aelexa
Alexa: am i a joke to you
It’s probably so he doesn’t set off his viewer’s Alexas
I just got one
ABeeinSpace maybe
No it's because either 1. He didnt want to get demonotized or. 2 he doesnt know how to pronounce it properly
@@karlgriffin897 No, because Echo devices can activate just from a video.
That intro is gold
I see iDubbbz, I like.
idewbz is best dewbz
I did not expect to see Ian on this channel in my lifetime
Sean Demers yeah
same lmaooo
Sean Demers crazy, this cant be right
It's a green screen edit
Kakashi Hatake no shit
I've got the Fire 7 and I absolutely love it! I know there are better tablets out there, but i got mine brand new from Amazon for $29. At that price, you're not going to find a better deal anywhere!
shiiiiiiiii at 30 as long it has a screen and works nothing else matters tbh that's cheap as fuck, thats 4 hours of work at minimum wage
Its a great tablet I've had no problems it does what I need just fine and as an oldschool gamer emulation device its actually pretty freaking good. I think his video is also odd cause a PC guy should have shared that you can use Google apps ya only need to set the device to accept 3rd party apps.
The original fire wasn't HD and didn't have this option so why is he sharing the older Fire tablet complaints which are no longer a problem?
Its like he looked up old complaints or is using conversations from fellow PC snobs that don't know things are better with this new 7hd fire tab.
I always get the impression that this guy is talking down to people, like we're all peasants. He gives just enough info to say the device works but he wouldn't wipe his butt with it.
Maybe he should get a shot gun and a box of news ones and use them for target practice just to really rub poor folks nose in his crap.
For families with 5 kids can't afford $200 tablets for each kid, IMHO Amazon made it possible for even low income kids to have internet devices that's pretty dang cool.
@@Airik1111bibles idiot
@@walidfakhfakh3660 Have you mom never taught you not to talk bad about yourself?
You can get for $25 on black friday or $15 on ebay
Bought one of these 9th gen versions for 29.99 during prime days. Out of curiosity, was pleasantly surprised and a nice addition to my ever growing collection!
The sudden iDubbbz in a LTT video has me legit shook. Like...it's like playing XCom and suddenly Travis Touchdown shows up to kill aliens alongside you. What is happening. What is this even.
Instant like.
It's probably his new video editor having fun
Phineas Jack which linus totally approve
:)
Same. Makes the video instant gold!
Edups may be the new trainee.. 😂 😂
Whosever idea for the idubbbz intro deserves a raise
Jesus Zermeno idubbbz and linus are friends huh
Thank you for saying ay-lee-x-a so my Alexa didnt go off
Fritz I was wondering if he just didn’t know how to pronounce it. Smart and considerate!
OHH thats why he said it weirdly
Lol
Ye
I got the 🔥 8 2019 version as a freebie. Was so impressed of just being s quad core 2.0 I decided to buy the latest model of the 🔥 HD 10.1 with the OCTA Core 2.0ghz . Used to be very skeptical with Amazon tech devices but since coming across a freebie I've now buy not just 1 but a few more. It is extremely a useable everyday device. Real 1080p with 2 million pixels which usually only big TVs offer that resolution, so having a small screen of only 10 inches and lower is a value buy.
Ian in the intro though 😂😂😂
Had me dead xD
But why is he here???

Thank you Linus I found your video while searching and the new and improved title layout is an amazing fix
The fire flew off my bycicle while I was basically "flying" down a bridge, high speed impact with the ground and only deep scratches at the first impact point (on the back) no screen damage, nothing
Did u know that amazon test on their durability to improve it
I didnt know what u were talking about and thought u were talking about ur fsce lmao

I got one a few months ago to use as a home assistant wall dashboard. Its pretty neat, the screen turns on as you walk up to it and since I have my cameras connected to home assistant its like a mini camera monitor.

Yep I work at a tech shop and bought one for myself cus it was cheap and the specs were decent but most people who wanna buy it consider it a "kids tab"

I do not see an ad whatsoever lmao

That kid From RUclips I think the “heck” that follows just screwed the channel.
Von D yeah, or maybe “intel” ew.
I rooted mine and there’s no more ads.
I'm a tech nerd, love comparing specs down to the nitty gritty and doing everything possible to get another 5 FPS or shave a couple milliseconds off a monitor's response time but even I can appreciate these things for what they are. Sub $40 for a legitimately usable tablet, capable of streaming content, shopping online and answering email is a handy gadget to have around for a lot of people. At this price, you don't have to worry about kids cracking screens or leaving them in the car to cook. You can have them stashed at a second home or take them camping... The price itself is the biggest feature because it allows you to 'connect' at times you wouldn't with a more expensive device. Well done Amazon.
The guys not a great reviewer for me. Clearly has a problem with Amazon. They've created a cheap device to allow people to use it
Now that's a good review! Should do a RUclips chanbel.
@@anaheim1rulez well, more of like, they only really care about high priced "good items". reality is, not everyone can afford everything at high prices. most of the time, good enough is... well, good enough.
There are times I like a tablet for a larger/second display on job sites but don’t want to risk breaking my iPad. Fire tablets come in great here. Browsing emails and RUclips basically
Ikr
One fun thing to note about the Fire 7 is the difference between the regular and kid versions is literally just the foam case that surrounds the one. The Fire 7 has built in software to make it "kid friendly" and it can be disabled.
I got two of these from work when the Amazon vendor came in to swap out the display models for a static picture version. He said to just throw them away because Amazon doesn't want them back, so he gave them to me because I didn't want to just toss them. After a bit a research, I learned how to reset it to get it off of the store demo display mode then I ran Fire Toolbox to de-bloat ads and useless apps on one and side-loaded a few apps to it. I'm currently using one of them as a cheap OBD II car scanner because it's just a tad easier to see the app on the larger screen and I don't need a high-spec system to run it. This way I don't risk dropping my phone if I'm working on a car.
The only downside is I can only use one scanner that doesn't have bidirectional support, so I can't diagnose certain things on more modern cars. Maybe one day they'll update the app.
This tablet is great for the kids or any situation where damage may occur. You can get them even cheaper then $40 on Black Friday and Prime day. The kid case for them is almost the same price as the device which is kind of crazy.
For the love of god don't give your kids a tablet. Give them an og Gameboy first so they can learn some respect for technology.
It's cheap, that's why people are buying it.
Yeah, it’s 100% the reason why.
Scythe So they buy it because it’s bad? Are you dumb? 😂😂
@Scythe Fire 7 not Kindle....
Yep that's why I have one,but I can barely use it now after about a year or so it started to freak out.
I still love mine. 😬
Why is Linus buying all the RAM?
Corruption he doesn’t buy it they send it to him
Because he can
conspiracy: the RAM companies aren’t actually doing anything. Linus just felt like creating content for himself.
Wut?
Why? For profit of course!
I got my mom a USED 2014 fire tablet 6 inch, the very first with Alexa(hold button down) She reads, Facebook and Tubi. Runs like a champ and even still gets updates. This was so antique it did not have sd card slot option, so stuck with 6 gig out of 8 space. This thing was thicker too, and more solidly built than a 7. It also had a special product identifying app called Firefly, which was on the phones but not sure it went anywhere else. Got that for 35.00.
Awesome. We are a fire family. First started with the 3g black and white kindle keyboard, which I prefer to those much more expensive paper whites. Have had 7, 8, and 10 fire sticks and TV's and an second gen echo that still works fine.
Just ordered a limited deal 24.99 refurbished fire 7. Cheapest thing I ever seen. Simple, functional, portable.
I am no technophile and specs go over my head. Still, Amazon caters to those too with the 3 gig ram gaming suitable kindle fires.
What a time to be alive. I have become quite keen on these portable systems. I have even made the qlink electronic benefit scepter 8 tablet hum by disabling almost all google stuff.
Anyway simplicity is popular. And with virtually a garage sale price point, even malfunctions or failures are easily refunded and replaced. Things keep getting better too- magnetic charging, remote appliance control...it also, as an avid reader, did not stop printed books. There is audio, digital, more ways to enjoy content than ever before.
And for the inclined, their are rooting methods, fire toolbox, putting on the play store. Option on top of a sea of options.
Just many of the sea of reasons it sells so well.
Could not be happier.
Well done Amazon.
I found a good use for the Fire 7. With the kickstand cover you can loop it over your treadmill and watch youtube videos while you run. This will work as long as you can connect to your wifi. I used a portable speaker to hook up for sound.

Is this another dumb idubbz meme that's only funny to fans and irritating to everyone else? Y'know, like that month or so when 9 year olds would say "oi have ossstth-te-o-porosstth-isss" in voicechat over and over again?
@Crispy Bacon Sounds like you hate the internet my dude. The clip is like 2 seconds long...if that irritates you then you need therapy.
Crispy Bacon people like you just make the meme funnier 😂😂

i went fire hd 10 (the newest 10.1) for my shed screen, i have been building a workshop in my shed/garage (the building is 80 years old, compared to a modern garage it is a large garden shed, the floor is dirt). it works great for that, it is like a little 10 inch widescreen tv for me, and i can use it for other things. although i really would like to have the play store, please. then i might be able to view my security cameras on it.
I bought the fire 8 on sale for $60. I bought it for work and for what I needed it for, the fire 7 is equally capable of performing the same task. For my job, I have to network a remote interface (tablet) to a main system and control through an app.
I do very little on the fire. 4 work related app's which are never used together, spotify premium account (on this device primairly for work), and a few movies downloaded through Prime for a cross country plane trip a couple times a month. I did need to download the apk files to get google installed on the device, which was so simple to do.
The fire is a ton more robust than pads and other tabs on the market. Ether that or the fact that it is so cheap that it is not nearly as painful when you drop it, ether way mine has been knocked around so much that I am in disbelief that it still works (zero screen cracks or chips also).
As for the advertising being the reason for the cheap price. On my fire 8, the only advertisement that I ever get is the one on the unlock page. You are not required to be proactive with the ad to make it go away, you simply "X" off the ad which then takes you to ad free usage of the device. It is an almost non-existing irritation.
I have an IPad (which I hate) that I do all of my personal tabing on but I would never use it in my job for fear of breakage or theft. This cheap little tab has been a goto lifesaver on many of jobs that I have performed and I hope that it outlasts my need for it. If it dies tomorrow, I wouldn't have a second thought or hesitate on buying a replacement.
If I have 1 complaint it is with the networking options. I does not show you the IP address of connected modems. I have to use my phone to find the address and then input into my tab app. Not an issue for a majority of users of this tab but for me, it is information that I need to have every time I connect to a new network.
That intro is idubbalicious.
Le Dog yeah totally
oh man, the idubbzzzzz meme XD

I got the fire 8 just to use as a wall panel for my smart home. Works great and cheap!
*THATS QUITE BIG*
the most ambitious crossover
Great disposable device to give to kids, and for taking on trips when I don’t want to risk losing the iPad.
I have one and I love it! I use it for videos, movies, books, and music. It’s a pretty great deal if that is all you a wanting a tablet for. I definitely recommend it to everyone!!
Do not listen to this person. Buy the iPad or a Samsung or anything else. A tablet is no use if it freezes Opening a single application. No issues like storage yet it freezes because the ram is tiny and the software is crap. Do not buy it DO NOT.
@@badasstrapbass2313 What's the matter with you? You don't have to be over the top mean just because you don't like something. Seriously!
Loading the Google Play Store APK (and Google Services apks) is relatively simple without having to rooting and opens Amazon Fire Tablets to all the Play Store apps, giving it extreme value at its price point.
_窮 I did this using my home FTP server and it works flawlessly on an HD 10
A shame the performance is diabolical though. This tablets performance is ATROCIOUS.
can install google play store in amazon tablets?
Yep, makes the HD 10 so much better, almost as good as my $200 samsung tab A 10.1
Yeah, I did this a while back trying to get PUBG Mobile to run on it, but it can't because "your device is not currently supported." What the heck, Tencent?!?
Thank you for spelling Alexa instead of saying it! Every time I watch reviews of Amazon products and someone says the trigger word "Alexa" I have the knee-jerk reaction to look to my Echo Device and see if it lights up.
Lol I thought you scared of the word Alexa, but no you just worried alexa wakes up
Maybe you should rethink having one?
NReluctant then mute it
I thought you could change the trigger word???
Just change it to some word you would never use like "antiquing" or something like that.
I got one of these when I was 6 for Christmas and I still have it today
It's an awesome little tablet, obviously wouldn't be your main gaming mobile device or for everyday use, but I use it to read ebooks, and it's great! The battery is pretty good considering it's price.
Thank you for not TRIGGERING our Alexa’s

Lol, I see you almost everywhere on almost all videos that I watch. I see you in PewDiePie, Dolan Dark, Grandayy, and similar channels in their comment section.
This was the first device I ever had! I honestly loved it.
I found a refurbished 16gb fire 7 on Amazon for 27 bucks. I’m not expecting anything crazy. But, 1 is none and 2 is one, so having it to compliment my iPad (that I use for work) will be at the vary least interesting.
my aunt's fire tablet (1st gen) still works, her primary use for is videos, facebook, online shopping, puzzle games, reading. EVERYTHING you do waiting at the Doctor's office, the airport, a flight and especially during a power outage (netflix downloads). So yes, totally worth the $
Your aunt is a hottie!
Stop being a tight wad and get her the newer model for her birthday or something. She probably bought you loads of stuff in the past.
Does it have RUclips
And this is why i love LTT just the fact that you said A L E X A instead of alexa! i love that you guys make sure our smarthome devices are not going crazy ;)

justin van der werf checkout Vault 7 & Vault 8 on Wikileaks.org This could also be the reason.
Heheh😂 i don't use alexa i have google home👌
my fire 10 ihave had for 5 years still works the same the day i bought it. BM!!!
My mom buys on of these seemingly once a year on prime day for like 20 or 25 bucks. She loves it and it helped my parents learn how to navigate smart phones
My use of it...
Installed Google framework.. Installed Google Play.. downloaded my Google Play playlist songs to device via wifi .. use Fire 7 as Bluetooth device for my car stereo and can take calls on my phone without music stopping. Passengers can pass the tablet around to control music instead of aux cords or my phone.
My phone is a hotspot so it connects to Google server at least once every 30 days automatically and I can stream music into it (and download) while my phone is in the car. 20 minute setup for seamless experience
Pretty intuitive, good work
Thanks. Turned a work gift into a convenience device 😀
Fookin' idubbz
For those looking into one, I’d HIGHLY recommend upgrading to an HD8. I purchased an HD8 a few years ago and the extra screen size, higher resolution, and greater storage is worth the extra money.
Same I got one and changed the os from fire os to Android os
I got one for Christmas 3 or so years ago. When the drive was done "optimizing", I only had 5GB of internal storage to work with. I plan on rooting it sooner or later
it was 40$
I ordered one of these a few years back when my phone broke and I wanted something to use on the go. It was so much better than I expected for the price, I could take it on long journeys to listen to music and watch movies and also browse social media really easily.

Should just be called VGA.
People that take photos with their tablet don't deserve anything more...
Technology everything major of on Amazon’s part
OverSoft no we need cameras for skype calls.
Can we get an updated video or review for the generation 9 version of the Fire 7?
I actually have one of these. I was able to debloat mine and it works amazingly well.
hahaha idubbbz love it

I would pay to watch LinusCatTips...
WiseSalamander go to the channel then and watch the videos
MyRookie and he could sell LinusCatNip
LinusKittyTips
I saw you change it live!
I got it as a backup, not as a primary use. It's small, inexpensive and fits in my purse. I can pull it out for the gym and it fits perfect on the ledge holder of the machine. I can drag it around the house while cleaning. It is so 'tote-able' (PS I really like the part in the video w the guys acting like kids in the back seat, too funny)
Parents are going to be all over this.
CaptainSauce huh, you here

LOVED the meme intro 😂
Maybe I'll make a meme intro for my own channel someday😂
who doesn't
I did not
Geez, people will call anything a meme these days. It makes memes, which are already the dumbest concept on earth, even stupider.
Found this as I've just got my daughter a fire 8 plus. Stripped out the Amazon stuff and got a stock launcher and the play store. Feels like the old nexus 8
I have this tablet actually 2 of them you get what you paid for had them for a year or so i have no complaints they work perfect
Did he just say "ay-le-ex-ay"???
DrShrimpy yes, for a reason. Come on, you can work it out....
He did indeed, guess why
So he didn’t activate it? What do I win?
omfggg if you say it REALLY fast, she actually responds to it.
Some people really appreciate not having every Alexa device around them activate, just because they're watching a video about said assistant.
The HD 10 is also pretty good. I had the 2015 model, and it had some issues, but the 2017 model fixed all of them. It has a great screen, great processor, and it is extremely durable. I actually recommend it!
You can also get the Google Play Store on this relatively easily.
Dude just edit your comment
Got an HD 10 for $110 and with the Google play store properly installed using my FTP server, it is a fantastic tablet.
How’s the lag on yours?
The fire 7 lag is a little too much for me.
Wanted to get the 10 looking at its specs, it seems more powerful but I wasn’t sure if it was good enough.
Recently got the hd10 2017 and after a factory reset to fix a playback issue, everything else seems great
@zach, I rarely run into lag (and i'm sure the only reason why is cause my internet is just crappy)
You just sold me for buying two of these for my dad's conference room at his office. With covid these are really useful bc arbitrations are being done over microsoft teams, my dad and the client both need to be in the call which creates a problem in terms of social distancing. These are going to be perfect for bridging that gap and allowing his clients to participate from the conference room. The alternative he wanted was a wall mounted all in one lol. I thought he should go with a dell optiplex connected to a wall mounted monitor and webcam if anything but this is even cheaper for getting a simple conference call done.
edit: Obv im getting the new ones with 2 MP not 300 kilopixels hahaha
I got one, and with a little bit of hard work, I got full google services, swapped out the lock screen for a different one without ads, changed the launcher, and much more.
Idubztechtips
What is iDubbz doing in the intro? xD
ThirtyVirus it's iDubbbz, you can remember this easily by saying "Big Booty Bitchez" .
It's from his "Green Screen Basics" on iDubbbzTV2 channel.
I was wondering the same thing
oh, ty MrrQuackers
Measuring
It's full of Amazon Apps and more are added every year. Over half of my 8gb kindle was taken up by their apps. Eventually, the new apps and frequent updates used up all the available space. I only had enough space for one app and had to disable updates on it.
I'm going to get it for Christmas 2019. And a tablet case for it too.
$29 now for black friday
Why is this Amazon tablet doing so well on Amazon? Hmmmm...
could it be its 1080p? or maybe because it dosnt have alot of problems? maybe because its connected to your amazon account and elexa? or is it because its FOURTY FUCKEN DOLLARS
I have a fire tablet 10 which is only 60$ more, even then its a very cheap tablet for its capability's, I have no complaints about it
I had an HD10 but it stopped working so I got a Tab A 2018 for 200
and its a 600p screen
HudsonGTV I think it is because people download so many apps. Like games, Netflix or just apps for certain purposes. Like an app for productivity like Forest which I’m not sure you can get on fire 7 tablet. Because it is available through iOS, google play store, and chrome web store.
I got the fire hd 8 for reading and simple tasks and I love it. ALSO. Putting the Google play store on these is pretty simple.
I got one in my favorite color (sage green) added Google remove offers removed thev transition effects runs fast great value
@Meagon Gabrielle it's good if you plan to read indoors and there's a way to add PDF books too through usb. You can also listen to certain books on audio as well. Comes with Alexa too and If you want extra functions add Google play . For a better speaker/longer battery get the fire tablet 8. But if you're just looking for reading only the Kindle paper is optimized just for that. You can usually catch both on sale too that's the first thing that goes on sale on Amazon
they sell it at a loss
to get you to get their other stuff
like costco chicken strategically located at the back of the store
300 kilopixels is good marketing trick... 1. because in our heads 300 is bigger than 0.3 and 2. because some idiots won't know that mega is bigger than kilo xD
I have a couple of low-end 7" tablets (Galaxy 3 7" & an Acer something-or-other) that I use to run the app that controls my digital audio mixer (XR18). They also both work well as GPS units. For these purposes (and not much else) they are a great value. I'd imagine the Fire 7 would be as capable.
Linus, you may want to review these tablets again, specially the 8" and 10"" tablet latest generations. They are very good consuming media devices, and if you happen to have an Amazon Prime account, the tablets really shine: Prime video, reading and attached perks to the Prime accounts make these tables extremely appealing to consumers. I own quite a few of these, and I expect nothing but good entertainment from them. I don't even dare to download third party software, such as Google or Microsoft docs. I know these tablets are for entertainment only, and that's where they really shine.
I agree, my daughter owns one and she is perfectly fine no lags or anything I even gave them my own good review. However, some people think these tablets are garbage or just a waste of your money but, it was for a good price a good deal and I am amazed and shocked on how well a really cheap tablet acts! My daughter just stays up in her room all day playing on it, watching Netflix or youtube, even gaming!
this device is just fine for what it is, i have the 10 inch version and it delivers and works very well!
I have the google play store on my fire tablet and it wasnt hard to get. I also got rid of the adverts on the lock screen for free by contacting an amazon employee. Most of the things you said are fixable and some of them are free
I've done that too😀
Download launcher hijack and you can install your own launcher and get rid of the shitty Amazon launcher with ads.
Yep you can get it close enough to stock android looking
What did you do to get play store on the tablet?

I rooted it and put the play store on it. Makes its 100x better
mexicanmanjohn same
mexicanmanjohn the one I got for my kids came with the play store no rooting
Lol i did it WITHOUT ROOTING it and saved my warranty *like a boss*
girlgreenivy they're actually getting clever and making the new ones unrootable. But you basically just Google it, follow some quick steps, and BOOM any Android app on your Kindle
girlgreenivy on mine I just downloaded google play. It was the Disney version amazon kindle 7 for kids. I’m looking for budget tablet that faster than the kindle though
Thanks
You can call Amazon customer service to remove the ads, you can also root Google play to use on device.
a ton of these would have been bought by parents for kids who couldnt care less about the spec, they just wanted a tablet...so a very cheap present that does the job for them..
Kids don't need (and should not have) more than this anyway.
I am definitely going to buy a 40€ tablet for my son.
Even the fact that it's locked down to amazon products is a feature, since it cuts down on things he shouldn't access.
Asterix what kind of content is bad on Google Play but good on Amazon Store? What u say Makes absolutely no sense
Less content is the point of Asteria, hence the "cuts down" part. What u understood Makes absolutely no sense
kids should not even have a tablet in the first place. A cheap phone with basic internet is viable.
@Asteria Just buy more expensive tech and hand it down to your son when you want to upgrade. Sounds easier and better. You can start with the cheap tablet. That's how I would do it
Buy the tablet then install the play store on it. I got one for reading and internet browsing. Not wow at all, but functional for price.
@Deon Denis in my experience some apps work, others dont
I have the Amazon 10.1 version at home. Works great or my intended purposes.
There is a way to use Google Store on these pretty easily. Why there is a noticeable performance hit on some Google store apps it can be done without bricking the tablet. Which is what many many "techy's" have done trying to make this into something it's not. We have 3 of them and use them as nice remotes with a huge screen for much cheaper than an aftermarket remote controller costs. Key is dump everything you can off of these and then run only what you want and they run adequately well sorta .
I like how you spelled "Alexa" at 1:48
hehe.
B N if someone (or you) wonders, it's just so your alexa doesn't get triggered (hehe).
I was thinking the same thing! ;) You don't want to inadvertently release the A-L-E-X-A kraken. She might start recording your conversation... ;) :P
I heard I-X-A which is how you speel the name of a TV hero lol
I am a 2021 HD 10 plus and I am very happy with it :)
I'm watching this on a fire, because I'm poor
Don't worry lol me too
How about getting a job ?
