~~dissect~~ disembowel

i am on the record as saying that nobody "deserves" to die, but i can get behind a noble sacrifice in the name of scientific advancement.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Someone responsible for the deaths of millions of people (remember USAID?) deserves to die.

I would argue people deserve to die if they're sufficient net negative to society. I believe Musk is one of these, as are most, if not all, seriel killers. The issue is determining who these people are, which we won't all agree on. I don't think the state should have this power because they get it wrong too often (and also I think their incentives are usually wrong and they benefit from protecting the wealthy).

I mean... as long as he's just dead all is well

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago

I would like to watch it when he's still alive

You'll find nothing but Nazi despair inside.

Completely unrelated question, how long has it been since the last time we had a vivisection?

[–] brownsugga@lemmy.world 51 points 4 days ago (2 children)

How rich does someone have to be before their physical body is torn to shreds in front of a cheering crowd? Purely theoretical question

Absolute weath is not the real measure. Rockefeller was worth 600bn in today's money.

Inequality is what is more important

US more unequal than french revolution

[–] kevin2107@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

yeah and look what happened to them, spacex should be disbanded.

SpaceX has a decent COO and business model. It's not worth 1trn though.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It should be nationalized. It does do some good things. It just does a lot of harm while doing so. It should be allowed to keep operating, but for the public good.

Nasa should get to use it for free.

[–] kevin2107@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

SpaceX does but X.ai, X, and all the other shit companies he umbrella'd under it and not worth it. That's what I meant by disband

Depends on how powerful they are.

I’m sure millions of Ukrainians would love to tear billionaire Putin to shreds, they just can’t get at him.

[–] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 54 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Wasn't there a study where a hoarding monkey got severely beaten by the other monkeys ?

To shreds, you say?

The brief period of democracy is over for the West. It is incompatible with wild wealth disparity.

[–] MrSelatcia@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The other monkeys would kill the hoarding monkey and take his bananas. Maybe the monkeys have it figured out.

[–] MyVeryRealName@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

With humans, the monkeys with atleast one banana defend the banana hoarder because they want to kill the starving monkeys.

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Eat and masturbate all day

Sleep in a tree

Occasionally violently murder others causing you distress

Yeah, I think they have it pretty figured out. We fucked it up

[–] OleFoFa@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

We never should of gotten down from the trees. Big mistake

[–] veni_vedi_veni@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I like the video of researchers experimenting on social behavior in monkeys where they gave one monkey a banana who was happy until they gave another monkey a cherry in view of the first. That first monkey lost his shit and started screaming at the researcher by being visibly frustrated in his cage.

That's us, except we are losing our bananas, while the other one is getting the entire cherry orchid.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

Musk = POS Nazi.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

We already have scientists who study parasites. Muskrat is a parasite.

[–] Una@europe.pub 10 points 4 days ago

Throw him to the Tigers, kitties are hungry. :3

It’s good to know we learned the obvious and valuable lesson Howard Hughes and the dangers of concentrated wealth have taught us multiple times over throughout the past, because it would be really fucking stupid for the world to repeatedly enable that exact same situation over and over again, that would be really disappointing.

How much is 1.33 trillion meme-coin in USD?

[–] remotedev@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

About tree fiddy

[–] tristan@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 4 points 5 days ago

I mean, in the simplistic case of monkeys, this doesn’t work because the other monkeys starve, which is a failure as a species.

The monkey would have to hoard just enough bananas that the other monkeys can still barely their basic desires, while keeping them hungry for more and letting them believe they could one day be like you and get as many bananas by working their way up an imaginary hierarchy, where the way to go up is to fuck over other monkeys and get you as many bananas as they can, while you give them the minimum possible share.

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Bananas are perishable, so yeah it’s kinda dumb to hoard them unless you are planning to bake a lot of banana bread. Mmmmm banana bread!

Elon Musk doesn’t sit on a literal mountain of money like a dragon on gold.
