so does this mean y'all guys are finally coming around on utilitarianism?

Can't we do this another way? That's a waste of a perfectly good rock.

Tie them all together with a floating rope at the wrists to waists. They will eventually tire out, when they do they will sink themselves, once they have provided value to the fishes and other sea life then the rope will float back to the top and you can start all over with another group of valuable market leaders.

There's no shortage of rocks at our disposal. If it's the labor costs you're worried about, I suppose we could force the CEOs to quarry and carry their own rock.

...and a cool ass boulder.

[–] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

This! You have any idea how much people pay for boulders to landscape their yards? A small one about the size of a nightstand can cost 300+.

Can we just put them all in submarines and promise it will be different this time?

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

Yes, I suppose the boulder has some value as well.

It probably has some nice bouldering problems to try!

I'm glad you could grip the meaning of my comment!

The boulder will still be cool under the sea. And also, under the sea that ceo finally has some real value. As food.

Oh my god, that scene in the beginning of Amistad just flashed back in my head. I had completely blocked it for like 25+ years and now it is back, oh god, I feel sick.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Well, that's something I'll actually apologize for. This is meant to be a humorous vent, not PTSD inducing.

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

No worries, no need to apologize, I enjoyed your post :)

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

Well, I suppose it's PTSD-inducing if someone is a health insurance CEO. But if that's the case...TO THE SEA WITH YOU!!

I thought that this was gonna be a different joke, I'm not gonna lie.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Now I'm morbidly curious what joke you were thinking...

[–] Murple_27@lemmy.ml 4 points 12 hours ago

"It's an acceptable loss."

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.ca 16 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

That's completely inappropriate. That boulder could be turned into a statue.

After the CEO has ceased to exist we could get the boulder back and make a statue of that CEO, as a a warning to others.

Everybody wants a rock to wind their CEOs around.
