Meanwhile, the Federation of Planets : "Do NOT approach Earth, there's nothing we can do for them."

You kidding me? They have scopes on us 24/7, we are their equivalent of the Twilight Zone, whole galaxy watches and laughs at our stupidity.

[-] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 5 points 2 weeks ago

The galactic equivalent of 'Ow, my balls'.

[-] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

That would make UFOs their equivalent to our Scientology Speedrunning challenge?

If it incentivizes people to clean up, I don't hate it as much as I did at first glance. Just won't think too hard about the shipping and other additional waste production involved.

[-] PhobosAnomaly@feddit.uk 12 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah fair play. Mad respect to the domestic and waste workers making the place looks half decent for everyone... but I can't really hate on a guy for tidying shit into bags and selling them to people with more money than sense.

If it makes that corner of the world look a bit nicer for humans and animals alike... I can't hate on it.

lmao one person's trash 😂

[-] dan1101@lemmy.world 40 points 2 weeks ago

People worshiping the rich and famous are responsible for a lot of the problems in the world today.

[-] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 weeks ago

More or less than the rich and famous themselves?

[-] dan1101@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

Both in different ways, the masses give them a pass for bad behavior, and also vote for the populists.

[-] joeljoelle@piefed.blahaj.zone 29 points 2 weeks ago

I guess it would be pretty easy to say that Swift fans have been paying for garbage for years but to each their own :P

[-] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago

Come on people we jumped the shark on this with gamer girl bathwater a while ago

[-] ech@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago

The real lesson is it was never about the gamers. Weirdos from every walk of life will buy this shit up.

[-] Rivermoonwolf@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Jesus, people are so desperate for celebrity validation they're actually buying their goddamn rubbish now? What next, someone's gonna auction off Bieber's used condoms?

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

That would literally go for a million dollars :/

[-] MrKoyun@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

That might be more defensible?

It's too bad she's a billionaire POS. If there's one person that could trigger the revolution, it might be her. She just has to say the word. These people would follow.

[-] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 18 points 2 weeks ago

She couldn't get Harris elected, I don't think she has the draw you think she does.

[-] IEatDaFeesh@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

She didn't push hard enough. Her support was "y'all should go out and vote." That statement only indirectly helped Harris because her fans are probably more left leaning.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe she doesn't really care and is actually benefiting from Trump. Maybe she only put in the bare minimum of effort for appearances as a PR move and didn't really want Harris to win. Maybe I would be willing to have given her the benefit of the doubt if we didn't have to shame her into reducing her private jet usage.

[-] somegeek@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago

You wouldn't want a revolution lead by idiots.

[-] deacon@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago
[-] topherclay@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Lemmy is nuts. You see the same memes you saw in high school even though highschool was two decades ago.

[-] Magnum@infosec.pub 5 points 2 weeks ago

How old was Taylor Swift 20 years ago and why did she get married this early?

[-] InputZero@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

You know for a private investigator, you're not very good at investigating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_Swift

[-] Magnum@infosec.pub 4 points 2 weeks ago

I was just pointing out that you are lying

[-] ParadoxSeahorse@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

That’s a completely different user with (most likely) a completely different face, this is not good detecting

[-] topherclay@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah it was a different user but we do in fact share the same face.

[-] VoteNixon2016 4 points 2 weeks ago

In like a Face/Off way or a Buffalo Bill way

I never really cared enough to look beyond the marketing for Taylor Swift, so my opinion was pretty much "Whatever, she seems nice enough", but having a wedding in MSG at all is seriously off-putting.

That's not an invitation to list everything bad about her. I still don't care.

[-] Miller@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

A market for any old celebrity garbage, who could have imagined.

[-] rottenmummy@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago
[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

This is how the trash was packaged and sold:

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

You have to appreciate the originality though

[-] rottenmummy@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

Thanks for explaining. Still makes the topic very weird.

[-] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly, $25 feels kinda low. Each bag could contain stuff that is worth much more, even minus the celebrity bonus.

[-] ech@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago

I'd agree, but the bags weren't what was sold - it was a plastic cube with something like a cubic inch of trash inside. There's a pic elsewhere in the thread.

[-] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

There’s a pic elsewhere in the thread.

I saw it. $25 for that? Un-fucking-believable. Like selling off the Berlin wall bit by bit, except that really was a piece of history.

[-] HAL_9_TRILLION@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

Man I hate to have to agree with this because it's just so loathsome, but weddings always have like personalized tchotchkes on the table and shit and if you manage to snag one of those in your $25 bag you'd probably get a thousand dollars for it on ebay.

But "from the edge of a love story" is odd wording. I really would think such bigtime celebrities would see to it that their trash was removed themselves for exactly this reason and that this isn't just random garbage from nearby dumpsters.

Just imagine even telling anyone you knew you bought literal garbage. The shame

[-] PartyAt15thAndSummit@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

Ruling class be like:

[-] BillCheddar@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Is this like baseball cards, and one of the cubes is like an autographed T&T Wedding Night condom or whatever?

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

This level of celebrity worship is so bizarre.

Is it celebrity worship or celebrity speculation? Like, who are the buyers? Actual dead-end fans? Or people who think they can flip the trash down the line?

[-] Zarobi@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

People, or person?

[-] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

He better not have made a billion dollars.

[-] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

So how long until the next album then?

[-] oce@jlai.lu 2 points 2 weeks ago

I don't know why my first thought was that it is a mine of information and privacy issue. Who knows what kind of bill, letter, contract, medical report, drug you could find there.
