Absolutely no chance this ever happened.

What the hell are these people on? Huffing Mercury?

Not to mention that a property like this likely costs hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to maintain and pay tax on, if not milliona

And this picture isn't even real.

It's a fucking parody account.

Feel shame.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 10 months ago (1 children)

So this isn't a lunatic then... also not on LinkedIn...

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (2 children)

That is correct and I hope the mods stick to keeping this place exclusively for real posts. "Close enough" makes places homogenous

It's a fucking parody account.

Use brain more.

Reddit was really bad with detecting sarcasm/parody/comedy, but Lemmy is on a whole new level of missing the joke.

[–] Dirk_Darkly 10 points 10 months ago

I've seen multiple communities where people not only miss the obvious joke, but they get angry at how there's no joke. It's truly something to behold.

Maybe because there's no joke.

"The joke is I can't afford this house"

Marvelous

No, the punchline is "I can't afford this house." It's humorous because the preceding story seems to build up to some anecdote about how having some money right now is less important than having more money later, or some other overdone trite non-observation, but it ends with the orator subverting your expectation that he can easily afford the house by admitting that not only can he not afford it, he in fact has no money and must find a way to make the entire $15,000,000 within one year.

Like all jokes, it's not funny if you don't get it, and if you only get it after someone explains it to you, it still won't be funny.

Some jokes are dumb.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

It's clearly a joke, lighten up.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No, just regular mercury. It's still bad.
