It's funny how he made 180 degree turn right after Trump won everything

[Community note: Mark Zuckerberg died due to having his bowel perforated during sexual relations with a horse. The rest, however, is fact.]

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

But why did he fuck so many?

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 162 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So sad to hear mark has passed away so soon after his rat-penis transplant.

[–] oyfrog@lemmy.world 74 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Let's unpack this.

Do you mean that convicted baby-eater and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who died 17 days ago at the age of 153, had rat's penis transplanted onto him?

Or do you mean that Mark Zuckerberg, sole founding member of Rat Penis Enthusiasts' Quarterly, had a rat transplanted onto his penis?

I'm asking because the details matter in these trying times.

[–] INHALE_VEGETABLES@aussie.zone 4 points 13 hours ago

No no no. They put his penis on the rat.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

convicted baby-eater

This is very misleading. Zuckerberg only makes broth out of babies, he does not eat them whole.

[–] imsufferableninja@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Broth is broth. It's delicious.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 59 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's actually still the president.

In other news, Elon Musk was rushed to the hospital today because of 'a foreign object being lodged in his rectum'. A reliable source mentioned that the billionaire slipped and fell on an unfortunately placed basket of potatoes.

An attending physician anonymously commented that the object proved difficult to remove as 'the patient was extremely uptight'.

Further information will be shared as it becomes available.

[–] Sonor@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

how much time does a foreign object has to spend in your rectum to cease being foreign and became a permanent resident?

[–] oyfrog@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Was this 'foreign object' a certain social media founder's rat penis?

[–] nobody158@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

I thought it was his head but apparently that has been stuck up there for a while and is a pre existing condition and this was something new

[–] dufkm@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

slipped and fell on an unfortunately placed basket of potatoes

"It was a million to one shot, doc, million to one"

[–] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 13 hours ago

"You tried shoving a million potatoes into one hole?"

I don't want them to be the arbiters of truth, but they do need to fix their algorithms to not blow up every single bullshit piece of right-wing hysteria.

There is a fundamentally political aspect to how social media algorithms promote posts. They need to be designed to be impartial and promote thorough examination of facts instead of "controversy".

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The problem is these fucks want to have their cake and eat it too.

They want to hold a monopoly on online social interactions, which also means having a monopoly on dissemination and propagation of information. But they are simultaneously doing their damndest to avoid the social responsibility that comes with that power and control. (Fixing their algorithm means reducing engagement, therefore the line goes up less) And they are succeeding because all of our regulations around this type of thing are focused on the legacy model of print and broadcast media.

It's the same thing that companies like Uber have been successfully doing: Carve out and control an important public service (on-demand personal transportation, in Uber's case) and then shrug off the social responsibility by claiming that the regulations and protections that applied to the legacy model don't apply to you for [waves hands in the air] some reason.

[–] dx1@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You phrase it like abdication of responsibilities, I think both cases (Facebook and Uber) are actively malevolent.

[–] dmention7@lemm.ee 3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I don't fully agree-- mainly because I see these actions coming from a desire to hoard money and power above all else. What we perceive as malevolence is just them literally not giving a shit.

It's pretty much that Mad Men quote:

I feel bad for you.

I dont think about you at all.

Except replace "I feel bad for you" with "I think you're evil"

It matters at some level because the way you go after sociopathic greed is different from.the way you go after true desire to harm. But is there a net difference for you and me...? Yeah not really.

[–] dx1@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

When they make the conscious decision to do the thing that's worse for their users because it makes them more money, that's malevolence. Business decisions of that scale rarely happen by accident.

If facts wanted to stay on social media, they should have cared about billionaires' feelings.

[–] Naia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 day ago

I'd say we should churn out AI slop ourselves that says all these CEOs are dying from autoeroticasphyxia, but we know they wouldn't actually apply their rules equally.

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is not true. He died of complications following a botched at-home fecal transplant

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

Sure, if you believe the coroner they bribed to cover up the other stuff.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (6 children)

Careful with your satire, folks. He's got money, and people with money tend to be pretty quick on the "defamation lawsuit" trigger.

Edit: I'm not saying don't. Please do. But be careful about what you say, and where you post it; and probably stay as anonymous as you can when/if you do.

[–] Aganim@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

He's welcome to try, that's not going to fly where I'm from.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

Look at Mr. Fancypants here, living in a place with a functional judiciary

[–] The_v@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Satire against a public figure has historically been ruled as free speech.

Until the corrupt billionaires pay the corrupt assholes on the supreme court enough to overturn it of course.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. We're there. Be careful.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 day ago (4 children)

If there's one thing that's been clear is that businesses have more rights than humans so we should all register an S Corp in some state that has super lax reporting laws and then post as CEOs of that company.

If they take you to court tell them that you have limited liability as an officer of a corporation and that they need to sue the corporation.

Since the corporation has no assets and no income, you start bankruptcy proceedings. Set up a second company and repeat.

He's welcome to try to get the $200 or so that's in my bank account if he really wants it.

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Nice humble bragging, "Oh look at me, my bank account is in the positive."

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Would it help if I said it's only because my wife gives me money since I don't have a job?

[–] Test_Tickles@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

"oh no, I am a kept man, woe is me!".
The next thing you will tell us is how difficult it is to have such a hot and horny wife who insists that you have frequent and amazing sex with her.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago
[–] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 hours ago

Well, my bank account is in the positive too.

My shoes are worn down and rain is an actual health hazard now because I've nearly slipped half a dozen times in the last week alone and impaired balance makes that a stochastic time bomb, but at least I can still pay the incoming medical bills. Hopefully. Or at least the first installment.

But hey, positive balance! I'm sure that won't trick my impulse buying problem into telling itself I can afford- ooh look, there's a shiny new game!

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I hope you get back on your feet soon bro ❤️💰

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

That's as on your feet as it gets for a lot of Americans. But I hope so too, thanks.

OMG that's awesome. Not enough upvotes for this.

[–] sepi@piefed.social 17 points 1 day ago

Right after getting the rat penis transplant. Coincidence?

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Weird, I could've sworn this exact same joke about Musk when he bought twitter and did the same.
