I don't eat ANY of that stuff. Hehehehe.

Alright, now time to announce the winners! @DainaGirl@Mee@PeculiarChangeling Before I get to the winners, I want to say thank you for entering the contest, I genuinely enjoyed reading every single one of your stories. Alright, now without further delay...... WINNER FOR THE FIRST PRIZE OF $150 IS: @DainaGirl While I didn't quite follow some of the time loop stuff in your story, I greatly enjoyed it! WINNER FOR THE SECOND PLACE PRIZE OF $50 IS: @MeeI really enjoyed the little world you created and how the characters interacted with each other. I will be in contact with you both shortly to collect your prizes.

The technology is clearly there, even on the bank's side. Look no further than platforms like Zelle which allow for instantaneous bank-to-bank transfers. When 2 individuals can send money to each others bank faster than a company can, it makes you sit there and think... “Can they physically not help it, or do they physically choose not to?"

Update on this, I officially get paid around the 23rd, so winners will be announced around then, give or take a day or 2.

That's stupid, no store should REQUIRE you to use the machines. My wife and I use them because we can't see the menu's, and it's easier than having a lady explain what they have. But if we know what we need before going into the store, I will always decide to go to the register. I view the kiosk as more of an accessibility feature as opposed to a mandatory means of getting food.

I will disagree about the fast food kiosk. My wife and I can't see the menus, and before they added the kiosks, we asked employees what they had, and they just told us to look at the menu, even after we said we couldn't see it. So yes, I do appreciate the fast food kiosks. Otherwise, I'm with you, self-checkouts, especially if you're buying produce is annoying.

Try to be more careful when it comes to giving out personal information. I'm happy your mom managed to fix it for you, but you might not be so lucky next time. So make sure there isn't a next time. Much love friend, wishing you well!

Yep, a stupid problem to have and a lot of it is voluntary, there are alternative services, people just don't want to use them. They can't even fathom the idea of having to pay for a service, meanwhile they complain about how their "free" services are misusing the data they willingly give over. I've never been to a restaurant that did that yet, but I will keep that in mind. The individuals talking about it made it seem like it was something you had to deal with, like there was no possible way to get a paper menu.

Yet another USPS feature I can never get to work. I despise things moving to digital. Not everyone has a phone, not everyone has a computer. Apparently, restaurants are trying to lock their menus behind QR codes now, which is absolutely ridiculous. These systems are explicitly designed to turn away certain groups of people. I will fight tooth and nail against the removal of physical things in favor of objectively inferior counterparts. It seems I'm not the only one, either. I did end up mailing the package, my apartment has an outgoing mailbox, but I wasn't sure if employees could access that. I don't want people to tamper with my mail, I don't even trust the post office. I asked today, and apparently they do not have a key, only USPS does. I also still have a street box by a grocery store, so that's nice.

So, I needed to mail a package, spent all day printing up a shipping label. USPS wouldn't accept my cards for some reason. Stamps.com worked, autocorrected the address, removing the APT/SUITE number and just putting in the street address again. So I had to refund that....then stamps.com isn't accepting my cards either. Have to call customer support, they do eventually get it resolved, very kind people over there. Anyway, I look at the temperature, and it's like 97.6F outside. I sit there and think "well the mailbox isn't that far, I'm sure I'll be fine." I walk over to where we usually drop off the mail. I know the direction and the general whereabouts of the mailbox, but not it's exact location. So, I'm walking on the street that the mailbox is on, and I don't see it, so I walk further (usually my wife is with me, but today I went alone.) I ended up going far past where the mailbox is supposed to be, no mailbox anywhere. On the way back I look on the side of the street where the mailbox is supposed to be, nothing. The mailbox is gone.

When my wife and I were living with my parents we had a $50 Walmart toaster oven, and it worked wonders for us!

@DailyDiJust gave a $50 on @BoTox's behalf, as he wanted $50 of his prize money from the contest to be donated to DD. So he's the one to thank for this one.

Happy I could help, that's exactly what these contests are intended to do, so I am happy that it's working, at least to some degree. I intend on doing another one of these, probably in 2023 if I am able.

The contest has officially ended. @BoToxSince you are the only one who entered the NSFW Category, there is no need for you to wait for judging. I will contact you shortly to receive your $150 prize. Otherwise: @Mee@PeculiarChangeling@DainaGirl The judging begins now and will end by or before August 24th (Most likely after I get paid) Please keep an eye on your DailyDiapers DMs (Especially after the 15th) as this is how I will be contacting you. After being contacted, you will have up to 30 days to reply.

Alrighty, I've added it to the list of SFW Stories. Thank you for entering!

Little over a day remaining. To account for timezones, the contest will officially end August 8th around 12noon PST.

My wife and I alternate who gets the spending money each month, so unfortunately this month is her month, so I can't donate, otherwise I would. I will try to pitch in in the coming months. I get august and September's spending money because My birthday is in September, and we allow double months when it's our birthdays.

NSFW is purely based on sexual content, in this case. Nonbinary and transFTM submissive would be allowed, yes. Length is not important, what matters is the actual contents of the story. A longer story might have an advantage only in the sense that they could flesh out their concept a bit more. But what is most important is the concept of the story and how well the writer executes that concept. Readability is also exceptionally important. A preexisting universe and fanfiction would be fine. You might be at a disadvantage with fanfiction, though, depending on how important knowledge of the original source material is. If I do not know the source material I might not be able to enjoy/understand the story as much as an audience who does. I hope this answered all of your questions.

Your entry has been added as an entry to the SFW category, thank you for entering!

I see what you did there......it's a moose pun, right?
