      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!!

        At first, I thought you meant planetars (from D&D), and I didn’t know about that piece of trivia and felt inferior as a nerd.

        But no, you really meant planarians (from reality), which is a science word and I now feel inferior because I am a moron.

        Planarians are flatworms (phylum Platyhelminthes) found in freshwater bodies and their regenerative abilities have been documented for centuries (Pallas, 1766; Dalyell, 1814). Planarians can regenerate new heads, tails, sides, or entire organisms from small body fragments in a process taking days to weeks.

          Friend, you’re not a moron just cause you didn’t know about some relatively unknown aquatic creature. You just got out-nerded this time 😎

              Many of us did know from like Middle or High school or some part of our education, but who would have thought you need to think about school to understand Lemmy

                It’s called the wolverine effect, I can’t remember where I learned that ironically.

                We all know what a wolverine is, but can you tell me where you learned it from?

                It probably has a fancy name like “memory source origin amnesia” or something, but it basically goes along the lines of your brain not remembering where you learned something, you just remember the thing.

                It’s why propaganda is so effective even on people looking for it.

              Are you the alt domain for the person I was talking to or someone random injecting themself in the conversation? Either way I’m happy you acquired knowledge at some point in the past

      Maybe it’ll double the number of homeless but the amount will stay the same

    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?!?”.

      The sign was made by someone else and stuck on top of an existing ad on the tube (the name given to the train system in London).

      Occasionally people manage to stick these on, and have them go unnoticed for a good while (or it takes a while for someone to get to removing them).
      Somewhat recently, someone made an ad for an illegal weed shop on the clearnet, and had those on the tube in a similar fashion for a good while before they were removed.

      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!?

        Tbf, cutting people in half typically doesn’t support them staying alive continued begging and wasting precious resources that should be mine.

    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?
