    Of course you never see them bring home gold. The only thing dragons fear is the tax man. Stealing a cow just annoys the commoners, stealing gold annoys the government. Gotta hide the riches

      “I’m gonna solve world hunger by feeding…”

      "The hungry?

      “…this singular dragon that I found!!”

      And then it still manages to work.

        Wouldn’t that make you rich but feeding a dragon ? 🤔

        Then if you reuse this money to buy food both for your dragon and the people that can’t afford to eat, you would solve world hunger, right ?

      Remember in The Matrix, where the machines use people as a power source? It’s nonsense, you have to feed them for them to produce any kind of energy output and it’s going to be less energy than you put in.

      (Originally, they were using human brains as processing units, which makes more sense but execs thought audiences wouldn’t understand. So it was changed to nonsense.)
