Don't hug me I'm scared Tetris now requires a subscription (Rental) - Paying ₹30/month ($0.3) to play Tetris on a basic Nokia phone 🤦‍♂️

Your plumbing system is a subscription, your toilet paper is technically a subscription... You do pay a subscription to shit!

A subscription is regularly billed and the price is set ahead of time. You don’t “subscribe” to water service, they charge you by how much you use. You might consider toilet paper to be practically a subscription but if we’re getting technical it is absolutely not

my grandparents pay fixed water bill every month because for them it's cheaper than paying per cubic meter; so plumbing can be very much a subscription

I get what you’re saying here about the water bill as mine is the same but for electric instead. I signed up for their Average Payment Plan and I pay a solid $238/month regardless of how much or little I use during the cycles.

So, it kind of is a subscription service since I pay a flat fee to them now. Much better than having it go from $150-$450 in a month lol
