Um. Next year isn't 2025, son. Step away from the pipe.
The meme scientist was so concerned whether or not they COULD post a meme
They forgot to stop and ask if they should post this one
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!!
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 🤔
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.

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?!?".
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.
Tbf, cutting people in half typically doesn't support them staying alive
Nearly done. Just waiting on a chainsaw from Amazon.
Seems a little extreme to me. Surely, there most be more humane solutions.
Hey, if it worked for King Solomon...
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.
it’s going messily, op
Why cut them in half when we could continue to let them suffer for decades and accept none of the blame or consequences?

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.
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.
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 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.
It's been a while since I've been scrolling Lemmy and literally had to stop due to bursting out laughing.
Is this sponsored by the British or conservatives? I'm getting mixed signals here.
