Two man-children enter, nobody leaves?

[–] Oni_eyes 29 points 2 years ago

Two man-children enter, the doors are locked, and the building is buried.

Long live humanity.

Their parents didn't show them enough affection at a critical developmental stage.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

This is both a hilarious quip and probably very accurate

Did I accidentally click on a satire site that looks like the BBC??

[–] PorkTaco 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I feel like reality has become a satire of itself at this point.

Okay I'm convinced, we live in a simulation. No way this isn't alien reality tv.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What the hell, I thought this was satire. Is this... not the onion?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

if you read the article it's just some joke tweets that bbc decided to make up a misleading title about.

[–] _haha_oh_wow_ 21 points 2 years ago

I hope they both lose.

This whole timeline is terrible. No writer would dare submit the screenplay.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I don't know, I kind of liked Guns Akimbo. If it wasn't being pitched as a documentary, I'd probably take a risk on it.

[–] drascus 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes lets put the ultra rich in the Colosseum and have them fight for our entertainment.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Then we eat them, yes?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

When Zucc gets enough damage, will the fight's second phase have him activate all the hidden cyborg gizmos?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

So Zuck's response of "Send Me Location" is an MMA meme from this, looks like BBC missed that though lol. My guess is that we won't see a billionaire cage match any time soon, which is probably a good thing because I think it would be like the McGregor v Mayweather fight where we all just leave sad to have watched it.

Pair of bellends

This is literally a money making scheme and no one else can convince me otherwise

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Here's hoping that they both perish from inoperable brain aneurysms brought on by blunt force trauma.

A fight to the death and the winner gets a submarine tour of the Titanic.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

Meh...make it exciting by fighting in a DIY submarine diving in the ocean!

[–] Contextual_Idiot 14 points 2 years ago

Click bait title, sounds like Musk talking out his ass again. No way either of them take the risk of injury or disability.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

I'll believe it when I see it. It's like those two kids at school who liked to talk tough and arrange a fight, only to both called their mums to pick them up.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago
[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

I almost never work out, except for picking up my kids & throwing them in the air

Sprinting away before they come back down is great cardio. You got this Elon!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

TFW it isn't to the death

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope they beat the shit out of each other and dont pull their punches

Wish they would.

Incidentally, wtf is bluesky? I literally have never heard of it, apparently a Twitterlike?

[–] weirdo_from_space 19 points 2 years ago

Jack Dorsey's new venture, it promises to be decentralized apparently. I expect it to be about as decentralized as cyrpocurrency.

[–] drascus 7 points 2 years ago (3 children)

it's a twitter clone that some people in the tech community are excited about for reasons I cannot understand.

I guess the question would be whether Zuckerberg is Season 1 Data or Insurrection Data.

If it's the former, Elon might stand a chance. If it's the latter, may God have mercy on us all.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Unless Elon is a secret jujitsu guy Zucks wins this easy. Zuckerberg actually trains. Both suck and billionaires as a class shouldn't exist. But as a big MMA fan for 20+ years and knowing Zuckerberg actually takes it moderately seriously, Elon gonna tap.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Every day we spiral further into an unwritten season of "Silicone Valley"

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Strange but I am rooting for Zuckerberg.

is then when america officially jumps the shark?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Are we living in The Onion metaverse? I read the article and can't believe it's reality.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Well let's hope they each receive fatal injuries.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Musk has the ego of an 'influencer', he just needs the attention it seems.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Zuck's gonna have a hard time making contact, since spez's mouth is welded to Musk's cock.

[–] zarquon 7 points 2 years ago

Based on betting sites, I see an estimated 83% chance Zuckerberg wins if they do it.

Seems more likely Musk backs out but I don't see those odds being tracked.

Lizard vs Space Dildo

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Throw the cage in the ocean once they're locked in. Neptune requires the sacrifice of more oligarchs

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Oh great I hope it's soon because this will dominate news and social media until and for quite a while after.

[–] Jorgelhus 6 points 2 years ago

Let's make it extra fun. Add weapons to it.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Further proof reality is a simulation.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

I started not to like when people who have some kind of authority constantly try be all silly and goofy and "meme-y". It never seem to go well when theyre like that, they often ended up being really immature or have big ego/hubris, and causing harm because of it. So bc of that im not amused by this tho im sure they think this would amuse us 'commoners' and that theyre 'totally fitting in.' As much as I dont think is necessary for anyone to have that much money, in a world where billionaires do exist id rather they be decent or at least mature and not hear about them constantly, than to hear about them constantly because theyre immature and always trying for attention.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

We need a nottheonion community. This is wild.
