Pretty sure you can get the same experience from doing a tour of the White House.

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 16 points 4 days ago

Still cheaper than going to the white house

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 26 points 4 days ago

Still cheaper than attending the reform party conference.

[-] SoloPhoenyx@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

Hell, MAGA pays people to attend their predator tours.

[-] lemmysmash@piefed.social 19 points 4 days ago

At first I thought they've opened the Epstein island for the public tours...

[-] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 days ago

Yeah that comma seems out of place.

[-] captcha_incorrect@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

And there is not space between the buttons and the input.

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 7 points 4 days ago

Sure why not? So long as they are locked up safe.

[-] d00ery@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Pedo, nonce, those are words used in the UK, child predator is more American imho. (Although it's well understood here)

[-] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 8 points 4 days ago

What? Is that what nonce means? From context I thought it was just like "dumbass" or something!

[-] radiouser@crazypeople.online 9 points 4 days ago

Lol no, don't use it like that! In the UK, calling someone a "nonce" is calling them a child molester.

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 6 points 4 days ago

Yes but to be fair we also call each other child molesters somewhat casually

[-] Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 6 points 4 days ago

No we don't. Don't be a complete nonce.

[-] radiouser@crazypeople.online 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Yeah, you're right - I almost added a bit about how friends will say* that to each other. It certainly wouldn't be something you'd want to mutter to someone you thought was being daft if you didn't know them.

[-] Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk 1 points 3 days ago

It's similar to other words commonly used. The root of the meaning is mostly lost and only the usage of it remains. Bastard, sod are two that come to mind.

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Nonce apparently comes from nonsense…

“What are you in (prison) for?”

“Ach, man. A bit of nonsense.”

[-] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

Not On Normal Communal Experience

It's prison slang

[-] FishFace@piefed.social 11 points 4 days ago

That's absolutely a backronym

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 7 points 4 days ago

I don't think there's a K in bacronym because it's short for barely a causal relationship of numerous yucky morphemes

Mebbies?

I used to think 'twocced' was slag for stolen but it's from Taken Without Owners Consent which is definitely a police term

[-] FishFace@piefed.social 1 points 3 days ago

yeah twoc/twocced/twoccing is a legit acronym. I realised that the supposed acronym for nonce is "Not on Normal Communal Exercise" rather than "Experience" which makes more sense in the prison context. It can be hard to be sure of word's origin, but in these cases:

  • On TWOC, the police actually charge people with "taking without owner's consent". You can find the source of the words in the relevant Act.
  • On Nonce, I don't think anyone has ever heard anyone refer to someone as "not on normal communal exercise" - it's an awkward phrase - why is it referring specifically to exercise rather than something more general - "Not in Communal Accommodation" - NICA? "Isolated for own safety" - IFOS? It stretches believability in the supposed source phrase in a way that TWOC doesn't. The earliest attestation of the theory I could find is also from 2012 but the word has been around longer.
[-] psycotica0@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

Around here the word "goof" has started to mean that in prison slang, and so it's been kinda weird seeing two rough guys yelling at each other with full seriousness "you're a fuckin goof! ", "I'm not the goof, you're the fuckin goof!"

[-] FluidBeef@quokk.au 1 points 3 days ago

They should just kiss and make up.

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah, but it’d be weird if someone actually said it.

Don't paedophiles also deserve to go on zoo tours?

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 15 points 4 days ago

Could we use them as a food source?

There’s a famous 4chan text about being a kid and seeing Arnold’s Predator film and getting an Xbox for Christmas that year and sets up their Xbox ID as “Child_Predator” or something similar.

[-] jobbies@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago

Could we use them as a food source?

You need to apply for a job at the Daily Mail. That would go down very well with their readers.

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

Funnily enough I’ve been anti-Daily Mail since… (checks notes)… about 95-ish years ago when they got into bed with Moseley.

To be honest, feeding nonces too (imprisoned) wild animals would probably get the tabloid vote.

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 6 points 4 days ago

It would depend if they were "foreign", "gay" or "lefty" nonces, or if they were "good, upstanding wealthy conservative pillars of the community who have been misunderstood and unfairly represented" nonces.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 4 days ago

AKA prime minister material

[-] HeartyOfGlass@piefed.social 8 points 4 days ago

This is automation. They have their website software set up to automatically take the title of whatever tour/service, and have the page split ticket sales by age group. The other week you might've seen "Child Herbivore Tours", or "Adult Penguin Feeding".

[-] Noel_Skum@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah. I don’t doubt that - I just can’t believe they don’t run it past an actual human before posting.

[-] No1@aussie.zone 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Is that Chester the molester?

[-] thespcicifcocean@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Aw man, it's Chris Hasnsen! blam

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

One way or round trip?

[-] SeventySeven@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 days ago

Didn't realize Mar-o-Lago took foreign currency.
