Two man-children enter, nobody leaves?

[–] Oni_eyes@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 year 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.

[–] Varwin@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

This is both a hilarious quip and probably very accurate

[–] kate@lemmy.uhhoh.com 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] PorkTaco@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year 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.

[–] Livornese@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Pietson@kbin.social 11 points 1 year 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_@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago

I hope they both lose.

[–] drascus@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] dominoko@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

Then we eat them, yes?

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

[–] jtk@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year 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.

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 year ago

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

[–] PrimordialSoup@sh.itjust.works 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Pair of bellends

[–] Steeve@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year 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.

[–] little_hoarse@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

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

[–] redhydride@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Xero@infosec.pub 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] BleakBluets@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year 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.

[–] baseless_discourse@mander.xyz 14 points 1 year ago
[–] jtk@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 year 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!

[–] FrankTheHealer@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

TFW it isn't to the death

[–] vegivamp@feddit.nl 10 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Wish they would.

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

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

[–] drascus@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Jode@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

People are excited right now because it's invite only. It's got an air of "exclusivity" to it and people just can't handle that shit. Lemmy should have done that instead of that email verification nonsense.

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.

[–] eatmoregreenfood@kbin.social 10 points 1 year 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.

[–] Jode@midwest.social 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] xc2215x@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Strange but I am rooting for Zuckerberg.

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

[–] keeb420@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

is then when america officially jumps the shark?

[–] BedSharkPal@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago

Well let's hope they each receive fatal injuries.

[–] b3b4d3f4b0@lemmy.studio 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] mrmanager@lemmy.today 7 points 1 year ago

Lizard vs Space Dildo

[–] zarquon@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year 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.

[–] Haus@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

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

[–] dan1101@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Jorgelhus@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] TheOlympian@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Further proof reality is a simulation.

[–] SeatBeeSate@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

We need a nottheonion community. This is wild.
