People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

Mark NSFW content.

No doxxing people.

Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.

No international politcs

Be excellent to each other.

Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

You use money? I have cash on me very rarely.

Money is not strictly a physical item, it's a verifiable record of tradable value. Cash is a physical representation of money usually in bills and coins, but the number in your bank account or credit card or PayPal or whatever is also money.

I'd say they're the same thing colloquially for many (physical currency), though your point is correct.

If my kid wanted a quid to go on a ride I might say 'I've no cash on me' or 'I've no money on me', even if I had my bank card, which is money by the correct definition.

I would definitely only use "cash", "change", or "bills" when referring to physical currency, but it will of course vary regionally.
