I'm waiting for you guys to start. Someone take the first bite yo.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 74 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You have an unfortunate username for this conversation.

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Friendly fire is always a unfortunate possibility.

[–] emax_gomax@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Your sacrifice for the cause is appreciated comrade.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’s a humble brag that he’s rich af.

You haven’t memed on Lemmy until you’ve done it sitting on a golden toilet, he says.

That double-crossing jerk!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

But does it have a bidet?

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 11 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I honestly don't think they would taste very good. Full of fat and prescription drugs.

[–] Poppa_Mo@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Are you joking? That sounds like an amazing meal.

[–] MarkBuffalo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Fat is flavor buddy

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Trust me, the rich do a lot more drugs than just the prescribed ones…

Where are all the effing serial killers when you actually need them? But nooooooo... We only go after poor white women and children!

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fine but you are bringing the side dish. I'm thinking third generation trust fund baby, or maybe "royalty"?

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Both of those qualify as the main dish.

[–] Neon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

OH! OKAY! when i did it 2 years ago you were all like "HELP! HE'S CRAZY, HE'S A CANNIBAL!" but now you wanna join in or what?!

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

...wait, you guys haven't literally been eating the rich? What the fuck?

[–] HotDogFingies@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

How does it feel being so god damn delicious?

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 55 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"This concept of 'crapitalism' confuses and infuriates Lurr!"

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

"Surely they meant to fairly distribute the wealth"

"No, it says socialism for the rich with rugged individualism for everyone else. Behold."

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago (5 children)

can we just hunt them for sport? i don't think elon would taste any good

[–] flipht@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

If you're going this route, use the same logic they do: nature preserves that sell rights to hunt big game, to find the preservation.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe we need to rethink the slogan altogether. Unfortunately, "fertilize crops with the rich" doesn't have the same ring to it.

You haven't had Billionaire Bourguignon?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty much everything tastes good smoked

[–] Burnt@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Zuck does already have all that Sweet Baby Ray's!

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

He’s the McNuggets of the rich.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Probably wouldn’t be a very sporting hunt either.

WTF are they good for?

[–] thantik@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Because the rich have somehow tricked half the world into thinking they are part of that same smaller class, when in reality they are nowhere close to being such.

Cause bootlickers, that’s why.

[–] Arrakis@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Why eat what you can lick?

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh man, I'm about to make apples taste 1000% better for you.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

And here I was going to make a pussy joke.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a wealthy pop?

[–] DaCrazyJamez@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago

Because the rich can afford to stop them.

This is, unfortunately, a sentiment that has worked out rather poorly throughout history

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Working class neighbor who earns 0.1% more: *sweats profusely*

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

In theory.

How would you handle a situation where in addition to "eat the rich", people start to say "eat the working class supporters of the rich" or "eat the families of the working class supporters of the rich" or "eat the 'eat the rich' dissenters"?

If you answer "that's never gonna happen," I hope you're right because I hate to say "I told you so."

[–] Elric@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Apologist for the rich

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

So you actually took a strawman and shoved it down a slippery slope into a victim complex with a condescending "you'll see!" flourish at the end! Wow.

That would have been HILARIOUS with just a modicum of self awareness, but instead it's just sad 🤦

Yeah you don't get indoctrinated until your second yacht

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

Would you eat something that rotten?

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I ask the same thing Lrrr. They taste like pork.

[–] Seraph@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You know what they say, the working class are from Mars and the rich are from Venus.

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

*Omicron Persei 7 and Omicron Persei 9.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Because we filled up on nuts at the reception.

[–] germanatlas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago

Because my bed is so so comfy

[–] lugal@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Wouldn't that be... illegal or something? I'm not an expert tho
