Does this remind anyone else of when we found out what Osama bin laden had on his hard drive

Color me surprised that Epstein was a fucking 4channer.

[–] Goretantath@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I mean, the creator donated to trump so..

Scott Cawthon? I knew every success must be rigged.

You have to sell your soul and rape children for success.

Five nights at epstein island

I looked at the community name, looked at the title, and thought to myself "this is the onion". I should go to sleep

Of all the things, what the fuck.

I mean, is it any more or less believable that Epstein had his X-box Live account banned right after he declined helping Bill Gates acquire surreptitious antibiotics for a STI he picked up from one of Epstein's captive Russian girls?

I feel like we all get lost in the idea that the rich and powerful have some kind of life insulated from nonsense and bullshit drama that we all go through.

They're just idiots like the rest of us.

They just have enough money and a complete lack of morality that they can dismember and eat babies and children and throw newborns into the sea.

Trump dismembered and ate babies?

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

We don't know about trump eating people specifically, but one of the files was 2 raw chickens on a cutting board with something redacted between the chickens. It looks like there might be a very tiny foot that's not quite redacted.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Allegedly others around Epstein have done some truly medieval shit that I hesitate to even repeat. Trump is reported to have brutally killed a litter puppies for pleasure at Epstein's estate according to the latest file drop. I didn't read into details of how, I was already sick from the other parts involving children.

It's all just reports, and some were deemed non-credible by law enforcement, saying some witnesses "had a history of mental health issues", but I'm not naive and liberal anymore and realize that all the horror stories you heard about people in the ancient times? We're the same fucking species, there are plenty of people right now around us every day who would delight in doing things to other living, innocent beings that would harm your mind if you imagined it, much less saw it happen with your own eyes, so yeah I think I would also have a history of mental health issues if I saw some of that shit.

I think i have problems now from reading some of those passages.

Do I want to know what that is? Five nights just meaning surfing some pr0n site?

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (2 children)

... how have you made it this far? I wish I had your life

[–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Just what is this "final" fantasy? Is it the last in a series? Why are there 17 sequels?

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I can remember many years ago when I was much younger than I am now, and when I was still following gaming news, being a gamer at that point of my life, as most boys of that age at that time were, hearing one of the funniest jokes I had and still yet have ever heard and one which I repeat anytime I get the opportunity, which was that "Nothing says 'final' like 'Final Fantasy 13: Part 2'." I believe it was the presenter Jovenshire from Smosh Games but have never been able to find again the source

[–] AEsheron@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

There is a common myth that they were in dire straights and named it such because if It failed it would end the company. The truth is, they wanted to name it Fighting Fantasy, but that was already taken. Wanting to keep the alliteration, they changed to Final Fantasy, without a significant meaning attached to the title.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don’t really know what it is either. 

It’s a game or something?

[–] fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

It’s a jumpecare horror game that all the Gen Alpha kids were obsessed with for a while.

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There were no Gen Alpha back then.

There’s definitely Gen Alpha kids who were obsessed with it, but I guess the younger Gen Z were also into it. Kinda came out on the border of the two.

If you don't already know I promise you do not want to.
