Oh noooooo

So does anyone have any good recipes for muffins I've been in a muffin mood lately

[–] Xyphius@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago

Oh me too. I tried doing some oatmeal blueberry muffins from random recipes online, but the muffin tops feel too small for my liking. ended up more like cupcakes.

Just keep trying penis surgeons. You'll get it right one of these days.

Guess this needs to be updated?

[–] letsgo2themall@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago (6 children)

I don't get it. If you are a billionaire, you'd have women (or men, whatever you like) throwing themselves at your junk. Why take the risk? You won at life, just enjoy banging everything that moves my dude. You could have a micro penis and still have people begging to do ungodly perverted things to it if you have that kind of money. Never satisfied I guess.

[–] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.org 13 points 14 hours ago

Because gender affirming care, or rather needing it, is so strong.

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Billionaires are as insecure and self centered as anyone. Part of the problem really and why rich people should be paying more taxes.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I have a theory that very few, if any, of these people are happy.

Its easier to accept our crappy hamster bodies when we dont have enough money to think we can change that reality

[–] dancroissant@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago

It's because a normal person would hit a few tens of millions and call it a day, retire, spend time with their family. The internal drive that creates a billionaire also prevents them from ever being happy or satisfied in any meaningful way. I think it's similar to how a psychopath is incapable of empathy, it's pathological.

[–] Red_October@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago

Because when you have so much, any and every hit to the ego feels that much worse, and the concept that something could exist that can't be fixed by throwing money at it seems impossible.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 2 points 14 hours ago

billionaires are not like us, just like psychopaths are not like us. I wonder if they even have souls if souls exist.. probably exchanged it for money.

[–] RhondaSandTits@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Lol. smol peepee

Ffs, just buy a dodge ram

[–] pimpampoom@lemmy.zip 18 points 21 hours ago

I’d rather they die trying to enlarge their small peepee than ruin our cities with their trucks

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 16 hours ago

Or a Corvette.

[–] DirtyAnCom@discuss.online 29 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Including the 32 billionaires that died last year, that's just over 1% of all billionaires removed from this Earth! That's not an insignificant number. Let's make it even higher!

[–] sahin@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

Lets make it 100%

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 2 points 15 hours ago

Natural causes and them keeping their wealth and/or bequeathing it doesn't count.

Why aren't the surgeons being paraded like luigi.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

Ok I read it. Here's the basics. Dude had a heart problem and an ulcer. He goes to this clinic a couple times a year for injections. This time he suffered abdominal pain and told the surgeons to call medical services. They did but it seemed like it was probably the ulcer so no one was dispatched. He tells them to proceed. Later he suffered a heart attack and emergency services are contacted again. An autopsy revealed it was not related to the procedure but rather to a chronic condition and drugs he was taking. The surgeons were punished because they were not licensed to practice in France despite doing it for a couple of decades.

Still in my humble opinion the timing seems sus.

[–] Smaile@thelemmy.club 2 points 16 hours ago

Lol, didn't elon lose his ducks usability to this?

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 57 points 1 day ago (4 children)

So the operation was a 100% succes.
