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

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 58 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And this picture isn't even real.

[–] hiddengoat@kbin.social 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a fucking parody account.

Feel shame.

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

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year 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@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year 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.

[–] NOSin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Maybe because there's no joke.

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

Marvelous

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[–] DaCookeyMonsta@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

It's clearly a joke, lighten up.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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