The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Tax them?

No no no no no.

We're eating them.

It's sorta like the opposite of veal:

The more financially bloated, gorged and aged the landlord is... the more succulent the screams.

... I mean flesh.

Anyway, I can't help it that the traditional method of preparing the dish is a guillotine... its just a traditional thing, very classy imo.

Personally, I like to pair the feast with a gunpowder shot... just an explosive combination of flavors, if you ask me.

There's no better show of opulence than to take one nibble and throw the rest away because you changed your mind.

I mean you could at least save it as a treat for your cat or dog, but yeah, I'm mostly in it for the screams, the incredulous existential crisis.

That's no treat, I would never endanger my pets like that.
