But once you pop, you just can't stop.

Not to be disrespectful to Japan, but it's like the dropping of the atom bombs in WW2: the first one sends the message that we have the power to do it, the second sends the message that we're not afraid to keep doing it

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (3 children)

We eat the top 3 billionaires each year, redistribute their wealth, and watch them all climb over each other for the #4 spot

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 12 points 2 months ago

All they have to do is give away enough to not be billionaires anymore. Seems more than fair.

I like this. The Hungry Games.

We eat the top 10 at least. Any less and the message won't be clear.

Luigi shot one, they only upped their security. We must not stop at one.

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Brian Thompson only had a net worth of $43m when he died.

That is mere pocket change to the actual Billionaire class, where the three most wealthy individuals on this planet each extract $40m+ of interest on their net worth PER DAY.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Damn, imagine if people actually kidnapped Elon Musk and ate it live

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They'd get sick from food poisoning and ketamine overdose.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 7 points 2 months ago

Also, is erectile disfunction contagious?

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago (5 children)

We didn't eat him. I really think it's the cannibalism that sends the message.

That one wasn't eaten.

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

Well first of all he's entirely innocent. So jot that down.

But if someone like Luigi had killed that CEO, that still wouldn't be the same as a billionaire.

Definitely Musk being a top contender for billionaire stew.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Can't we eat one that actually looks like they might taste good, tho? 😩

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

None of them do though.

Hunger is the best spice and the people are very hungry.

The top one, Elon.

[–] RustyShackleford@piefed.social 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I want to try some, are we going with a stew, spit-roast, stir-fry, braised, confit, steamed, ceviche, schnitzel, kebab or tandoori?

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'd make a joke about spit-roasting Peter Theil but I don't want him to sic Hulk Hogan on me.

Fortunately, Hulk is dead. But now I forgot the joke.

[–] RustyShackleford@piefed.social 9 points 2 months ago

Feel free to add or edit it if you come up with it.

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don’t eat shit, mulch the rich. Much more entertainment potential, and more hygienic.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

And we get to learn about proper wood chipper safety!

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Why do we want the rest to fall in line? Why not just eat them all, and prevent the next billionaire from ever existing in the first place?

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

"fall in line" here means redistribute their unearned wealth

Real shame we couldn't get everybody to agree that a person is entitled to a bounty. Like take out a Billionaire, and you're entitled to take like 2 million for every billion they were worth, and the rest is redistributed.

I mean just putting the idea out there, and making them think even their secretary or cook might be thinking that 2m+ is looking pretty tasty. They'd live looking over their shoulders their whole life. Could literally be anybody, at anytime, including one of their guards.

[–] JennyLaFae@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Every year we wicker man the wealthiest person and their wealth gets used for social programs until poverty (i.e. food water shelter medical insecurities) is eliminated.

[–] swiftywizard@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 months ago

Billionaire Royale.

One enters the danger zone at X dollar. They make money with speculation and interest, so they have to donate / get rid of it before the countdown stops.

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago

Floating wealth cap. The richest person in the country is responsible for everyone's health care. When their wealth is depleted to #2's level, #2 starts sharing the load.

Keep adding social programs until everyone is down to #1000's level.

We don’t need to eat them, we need to chop them.

One every year until they cease to exist as a concept.

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Jest aside i have often considered a concept where the richest person in the world has half their wealth liquidated and distributed in equal share among the 25% poorest.

We then repeat this process again and again as needed.

[–] modestmeme@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

We need to set an example that will resonate throughout history. So, we eat them all.

[–] counterfactual@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ew. Prions. Just drown them.

Agreed, im a vegetarian but I’ll take a bite of the billionaire just to prove a point.

[–] ArsonButCute@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 2 months ago

I've long argued that billionaire flesh is vegan because there is a net negative of suffering when they're consumed.

[–] crazycraw@crazypeople.online 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

lots of people serve them.

but someone needs to serve them.

If i had one wish to fix the world it would be this:

Every day, the wealthiest person on the planet (no legal trickery allowed) dies a brutal and very public death.

Just keep it going forever. I give it 2 months until we are golden
