Being an arborist is one of the most dangerous careers there are, this "passive income" guy would probably die in under a year.

If that post was sincere, I will eat my hat.

I've met people like this before: I hope it's satirical, but wouldn't be shocked if it was posted in earnest.

Edit: Yes, I am now aware this particular account ia just satire.

[-] yakko@feddit.uk 26 points 2 days ago

Satire can be hard because people approach an Einsteinian ridicule limit at which point they become indistinguishable from the most blatant satire about them... But I have to take a stance on this one, he hangs a hat on it - "one of those morons". Come on!

[-] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 13 points 2 days ago

Some people are like characters that escaped a comedy skit.

[-] gwl 6 points 1 day ago

The account is entirely satirical.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 6 points 1 day ago

Yes, I am aware now. Thanks.

My point was more that people who really think like this exist.

[-] gwl 1 points 1 day ago

Who think "I'm going to say something satirical" and then say it?

[-] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 5 points 1 day ago

No, people who earnestly say shit that sounds satirical.

[-] gwl 3 points 1 day ago

Well yeah, satirists need someone to satire

[-] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 3 points 1 day ago

Not quite what I meant but yeah, sure.

[-] Xanvial@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

Pretty sure that account is satire

[-] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 12 points 2 days ago

I've known people like this IRL, glad this isn't real through.

Edit: Weird downvotes, but OK.

[-] Fawkes@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

I'm downvoting you too, sorry. I'm not sure why, but it seems like the popular people are doing it, and I just want to fit in. We can still be friends in secret if you'd like.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 10 points 1 day ago

That's kind of you, but I don't know if you'd want to be friends with me: I heard there were popular people downvoting my posts and they might go after you for associating with me.

[-] Fawkes@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Wow, that's something only a true friend would say! Too bad about the unpopularity... Goodbye forever ๐Ÿ™‚

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago

You're not my friend, Guy.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 3 points 1 day ago

Goodbye, I'll always cherish our interaction.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 4 points 1 day ago

No! It is a forbidden love fraught with down votes.

[-] amio@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Edit: Weird downvotes, but OK.

New here?

[-] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 2 points 1 day ago

Not really, but what can you do?
