Um. Next year isn't 2025, son. Step away from the pipe.
- Yes it is. Have you been sleeping for a year? We all thought you were just pretending, but you lay in that bed snoring the whole of 2024.
  Wake up, otter! Stop d0zing through entire years! 2025 starts tomorrow! Don't trust your phone, NTP glitched while you were asleep and it's also wrong!!
  
  Dude. Ketamine is not your friend.
- Classic shit post engagement .... post an obvious error, mistake or controversial opinion and watch everyone dance for you.

2025
...
Just like 2 more week
2024: Am I a joke to you?
- UK is in a different time zone
  
  Oh right, my bad
- Ask September 3rd-13th, 1752.
  
  I would ask, but I can't find them. Where'd they go?!
- Imperial months

That's a good idea, actually. That way, they could sleep on these benches with the armrest in the middle.

Maybe it's because I'm not a native english speaker but I read this as a pledge to murder all homeless people by cutting them in half 🤔
- that’s the joke.png
  
  Maybe it's because I am a native english speaker but your reply is offensive and embarrassing to native English speakers around the world. You can do better, America. You just have to try.
- While this particular ad is fake, it's entirely on brand for the party featured on it to state that they want to do that.
  They recently stated they believed being homeless is a lifestyle choice.

  Wow...... So about as bad as amarican politions.

  I think this is a threat because it would effectively kinda double the number of homelessness, right?
- The conservatives make pledges to solve social issues, like homelessness, all the time. They almost never actually follow through. Instead they often act to make the problem "go away", often to the detriment of those they claimed to want to help.
  One of those pledges was to cut homelessness in half. However no extra money or resources were actually provided to do this. This sign is a protest of that (and many other) lies. At a glance, it's one of their normal lies. It's only when you read it more carefully your brain goes "wait, what?!?".
  
  Is this because they found out the saws were too expensive?
- The sign was made by someone else and stuck on top of an existing ad on the tube (the name given to the train system in London).
  Occasionally people manage to stick these on, and have them go unnoticed for a good while (or it takes a while for someone to get to removing them).
  Somewhat recently, someone made an ad for an illegal weed shop on the clearnet, and had those on the tube in a similar fashion for a good while before they were removed.

Seems a little extreme to me. Surely, there most be more humane solutions.
- There isn't, and don't call me Shirley.

Have you tried "kill the poor"?
- I'm not saying do it, I'm saying run it through the computer and see whether it would work.
- But, once we kill the 'poor poor', wont the regular poor be next? and then 'the not so but mostly poor' after that?
  where does the poor stop!?
  
  There's always a bottom 10%. We'll run our society like General Electric - up or out.
  
  The poor stop at the doorstep of the decisionmakers.
- Tbf, cutting people in half typically doesn't support them staying alive
  
  Tbf, cutting people in half typically doesn’t support ~~them staying alive~~ continued begging and wasting precious resources that should be mine.
  Ftfy

That's very ambiguous wording. Are they going to have cut all existing homeless people in half by that date, or legislate homeless people must be cut in half by that date?
- Yes.

Hey, if it worked for King Solomon...

Finally a realistic solution to end homelessness /s
- Do you have to be homeless to volunteer?
  
  Service Guarantees Citizenship

Why cut them in half when we could continue to let them suffer for decades and accept none of the blame or consequences?
- But that’s more expensive. Cutting them in half now, saves money, and isn’t that what’s important?

Well, as usual they offloaded the work on the cheapest contractor, which happens to be homeless people, and they have been dragging their feet. Not the conservative's fault really, that's the innate laziness of the working class.
- Pls explan, I have little to no context about your post

O-<- / -<

it’s going messily, op

Turns out homeless people drink much more milk than expected, or are somehow getting their hands on calcium supplements, their bones are far less brittle than expected and keep dulling out the blades.

I wasn't gonna pay this month's rent but fuck that. I just had to apply at the cheap porn studio for fluffer and the rest is history. Cuz I don't want the government to cut me in half. Sure it feels like being cut in half sometimes but it pays the bills.

It's been a while since I've been scrolling Lemmy and literally had to stop due to bursting out laughing.

That is a wildly morbid slogan.
- It's a parody, not a genuine slogan.
  
  That makes a lot more sense. Thanks.
- One that resulted in FIVE Jurrasic Parks!
- Yep that's the tories for you. And why I can't understand why people who vote for them can argue I want this 1 policy buy hate the 200 policies so I'm going yo pretend the 200 does not exist

Well, if there are twice as many homeless then, it's a proven success isn't it?

They first have to quit the international human rights agreements before they are allowed to cut people in Halves. Give them a break!

Is this sponsored by the British or conservatives? I'm getting mixed signals here.
- No its sponsored by chainsaw murderers /s
  
  No need for /s

Slice and dice is the conservative way

I looked into it and looks to be a hoax but do your own research. Funny ad all the same as the real joke is that is not an unreasonable goal and why have we not yet? Would be nice as the current homeless response is a lose lose for all parties.
- Loose loose. So very loose
  
  Ahahaha. Oops.
- For the party (and currently government of the UK) "sponsoring" the fake ad, directly murdering homeless people by chopping them in half would be pretty on-brand, they pretty much kill them off indirectly with legislation already and disparage the homeless in the media all the time.
  I agree that halving homelessness would be of benefit to everyone, but the Tories don't particularly care about benefit to anyone apart from themselves and their masters.
- Really?
  Conservatives don't actually want to murder homeless people by sawing them in two? But killing homeless people is a great idea?
  
  No, they're saying housing homeless people is not an unreasonable goal.

Glad someone posted this, good to keep people to their promises

The State will need many blades
- blade noises

It's 2023 my dude.

How did someone think this sign was a good idea
- It's an edit mate
  
  Yeah I deleted the last bit
- How did someone think this sign was a good idea
  It was written by an immigrant with a low IELTS score. That's why they sent him to Rwanda straight after.
  
  Yeah that last bit was irrelevant

The way they're treating the middle class and the poor class and just individuals in general... I wouldn't be surprised 🤯😯 if they did that.
World is cruel because a few buggers ruin it for all of us

You're trying to get me in trouble. I'm laying next to my wife who's sleeping and I'm struggling not to lol. This sign is hilarious!

Is this the same plan that made homelessness illegal?
