That author has the best name for a fake ID I've ever seen.

[-] NekoRogue@slrpnk.net 21 points 8 months ago

That's definitely Roger from American Dad.

[-] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 8 months ago

Definitely seems like the name of someone who coined the term “golfercide” because he’s worried about having his own head lopped off.

[-] phorq@lemmy.ml 8 points 8 months ago

It was either that or Mohammed

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

And you chose McLovin

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Aka Lamfiii

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 47 points 8 months ago

Disembowelment for golfing?!? Like cut your guts and let them hang out of you - for golfing?!?! If they are going to sell the golf course, that's fine but don't cut me!

[-] trucy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 59 points 8 months ago

If you golf you deserve it tbh

[-] Nutteman@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

Most people feel a bit attacked when disemboweled, I imagine

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 8 points 8 months ago

Not as much as the attack on biodiversity that golf courses create.

[-] swab148@startrek.website 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Or you, when people tell you that you look like you.

[-] mathemachristian@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Name yourself GolfGuyBallWhacker and join the war on lawns in the side of the environment.

[-] Cosmicomical@kbin.social 27 points 8 months ago

It's the first step of the recipe to cook and eat the rich

[-] Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

Yup. I just ate breakfast but I'm still this kind of hungry.

[-] cumming_normi@yiffit.net 44 points 8 months ago

Finally, that tired excuse of a sport has no reason to exist

[-] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

What else are we supposed to do? Humans are running out of creative ways to advance our destructive powers as is, think of all the negative ecological & sociological effects, the senseless overconsumption, the shitty superiority complex apparently necessary to play, etc.

I too sometimes forget they call it a sport, there must be a funny story behind that as it's obviously ironical.

[-] machinaeZER0@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Reject golf, embrace disc golf (ideally in a naturally wooded area with minimal deforestation)

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 28 points 8 months ago

Yay, more high-rises to half-build and abandon!

[-] Doorbook@lemmy.world 51 points 8 months ago

Complained the countries that have housing crisis.

I rather a place were growing population get to live comfortably over an empty space for rich people to kick a ball around.

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 19 points 8 months ago

I have no love for golf courses, but also no faith in the Chinese economy to actually deliver on this (obviously satirical) proposal.

Watch this video. Those massive half-built apartment complexes are not meant for people to live in, they're investments to own ~~by the kind permission of pooh bear~~. They're basically treated like NFTs that occupy real space and never get finished because there is no profit in making them livable once they have an owner.

[-] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

You don't kick a golf ball, typically.

[-] prime_number_314159@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

This is public housing, meaning the funding is coming from the government. They'll be lucky if it gets as far as quarter built.

[-] conneru64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 8 months ago

China's government is actually pretty good at getting things done

[-] kay@lemmings.world 17 points 8 months ago

unfortunately for a lot of minorities

[-] trucy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 8 months ago

The goal is to also get rid of r🤮ch people

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 15 points 8 months ago

Great! When can we start?

[-] statues_lasers@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Oh no think about golf cart drivers.

[-] jonsnothere@beehaw.org 9 points 8 months ago

I'm gonna read that as 'disemballed', which just means they lose all their golf ballls

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

i dont see the problem of having one course available for not-rich people to use and play the sport. are they really THAT wasteful?

[-] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 20 points 8 months ago

It takes a ton of land and resources for something that's only sold to the elite.

If we had far less and made them community accessible and not require the lawns that golf does, it would be better.

Frizbee golf is a good example. Yes its not the same but its in a lot of public parks, doesnt destroy the landscape to build it, and the maint is low

[-] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

#nationalizegolfcourses

[-] konej@pawb.social 1 points 8 months ago

just play mini golf it's like regular golf but not boring as fuck (and more environmentally friendly)

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Finally, AI starting to have that "only a human could have come up with something this random" Turing Test feel to it.

[-] key@lemmy.keychat.org 2 points 8 months ago

What happens if you're just caught on a driving range?

[-] belated_frog_pants@beehaw.org 6 points 8 months ago

They just practice killing you

[-] dean@beehaw.org 1 points 8 months ago

does anyone else think disemboweled is a very grotesque word for what they're describing
