don't be stupid; buy her a star: https://starregister.org/

EDIT: lol

> NFT Star

> While we are 30 years old, we use the newest and most innovative technology. All Sparklingly Star Register Stars are backed and verified on the Ethereum Blockchain through an NFT (Non Fungible Token). NOTE: The NFTs will be minted in July 2022 and customers will receive instructions on how to receive theirs then.

My wife loves this stuff, knows it not serious, doesn't care. She's bought me both, a star name and a sq. ft. in Scotland.

Touché, my Lord.

ahem, that's Sir Star Lord to you plebe

Ask her to buy you an acre of land on the moon or Mars next

Can you give me her email? I've got some quality bridges!

Does that make you a Star Lord?

The UK already has Time Lords, so why not?

I wonder if one day in the grim and distant future, we'll displace aliens using this registry akin to how US land was repossessed from the native people and then occupied by US citizens. That'd make a good sci-fi book.

Really makes you wonder what the word "official" means

How about a black hole?

Is this a joke?

Yes, as in, anyone can start a star registry and charge people for an entry. It's all meaningless, so NFTs seem like a perfect fit.

I have here a piece of paper which states that I own this piece of paper.

Ironically the fact that you've written on that paper your ownership information actually makes said paper worth less than if you hadn't.

That depends on who they are. Famous enough and the ownership claim can increase the value…

Is this a joke?

I thought so, until I read Death's End.
