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

...and a cool ass boulder.

[–] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 3 points 20 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 22 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] i_love_FFT@jlai.lu 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It probably has some nice bouldering problems to try!

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

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago

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

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

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 2 points 19 hours ago

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.

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

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

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

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

"It's an acceptable loss."

[–] josefo@leminal.space 56 points 1 day ago (14 children)

What if we start killing board members instead of just CEOs, you know, the puppet masters along with the puppet.

While we are at it, also any billionaires to

[–] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

DDD let's a go!

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 22 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 22 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 22 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!!

[–] CetaceanNeeded@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Everybody wants a rock to wind their CEOs around.

A drop of the guillotine is completely free. Just saying.

Hey.... Boulders ain't cheap either.

I guess this meme only applies to America?

In most European countries, you pay for your insurance by contributing a certain percentage of your wages to your insurance company and a retirement payout company. Of course, you don't have to bother with that, since your employer does this in most cases (if you're not a contractor). I think this is a better strategy than just paying from what you have.

Even in death they'd be causing sea levels to rise.

Why aren’t we seeing this type of energy towards politicians? They’re the ones making the laws that companies exploit.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (4 children)

You think politicians are the ones who write the laws? You wouldn't happen to be a CEO would you? If so, I do believe you yearn for the Sea...

Because in fine, it's the companies and lobbies that bribe them. You can have ethical politicians, but there are hardly any ethical CEOs/board members.
