      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!!

    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 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.

    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?

    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.

    Well, if there are twice as many homeless then, it’s a proven success isn’t it?

    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.

      For the party (and currently government of the UK) “sponsoring” the fake ad, directly murdering homeless people by chopping them in half would be pretty on-brand, they pretty much kill them off indirectly with legislation already and disparage the homeless in the media all the time.

      I agree that halving homelessness would be of benefit to everyone, but the Tories don’t particularly care about benefit to anyone apart from themselves and their masters.

    The way they’re treating the middle class and the poor class and just individuals in general… I wouldn’t be surprised 🤯😯 if they did that.

    It’s been a while since I’ve been scrolling Lemmy and literally had to stop due to bursting out laughing.
