I want to put all of Larry Ellison's body into a wood chipper.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 41 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I just want to point out this is not a threat of violence because OP said "his body" not him. This statement presumes he's already dead. How that were to happen, nobody knows.

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

not a threat of violence

And neither are these playing cards that no one should definitely order. I'm pretty sure he's in there somewhere.

Would be great to see the actual deck. I get what they are going for, but still.

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

I'll let you know once I receive mine, fate willing :)

Yep he'd definitely be expired due to excited delirium, and certainly not feet first.

[–] alexc@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Finally, an idea I think we can all agree on.

[–] Placebonickname@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Did u ever see the movie Fargo?

[–] motor_spirit@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Squad goals?

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 5 months ago

Poor Steve Buscemi.

[–] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Your plan is much cheaper to implement too. It would be foolish not to.

With careful consideration and as much thought and tact as I have in me here is the response I encourage everyone give to this proposal:

Fuck. Off.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

I'll sign that petition.

[–] makuus@pawb.social 48 points 5 months ago (1 children)

He believes the payoff will include better healthcare, thanks to treatments tailored to individuals…

Hey, that’s great and all… So, who’s going to pay for those treatments? Universal healthcare when?

[–] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Yes let's call it Yougenics Healthcare by United

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 29 points 5 months ago (2 children)

And I would like to put Larry Ellison in a giant Vitamix blender and jam the frappe button in the ON position.

[–] kipo@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

"Ooh, Ellison smoke. Don't breathe this!"

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Lab coat dude over a smoking bowl of well-stirred billionaire: "Don't become this."

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 22 points 5 months ago

Seriously, people in the U.S. have to start using that 2nd amendment and start eliminating the threats to their country. Like this guy.

[–] amon@lemmy.world 19 points 5 months ago

Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphizing Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don’t anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn - you stick your hand in there and it’ll chop it off, the end. You don’t think "oh, the lawnmower hates me" – lawnmower doesn’t give a shit about you, lawnmower can’t hate you. Don’t anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don’t fall into that trap about Oracle.

Ellison is a piece of shit. This is the same creep who said that putting AI surveillance everywhere will ensure that everyone will "behave." That probably doesn't apply to him on his private Hawaiian island, huh? He will not be missed, none of these soulless monsters will be.

Hell, even the police state won't want to use Oracle.

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I feel like these technofascists read all the dystopian sci-fi books when they were younger and identified with the villains

[–] ooterness@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don’t Create The Torment Nexus.

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 11 points 5 months ago

These are the types of people that James Bond used to hunt down.

How the fuck is this real life?

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago

This is not for AI to study. Ellison has been very clear on wanting to create a surveillance state. This is to oppress Americans

[–] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 6 points 5 months ago

Too late, Elon is already sucking up our data.

[–] invertedspear@lemm.ee 6 points 5 months ago

I mean, the most offensive part of this is that he wants to use an Oracle system. Hey, jokes make the dystopia a little less boring right?🤣😂😢😭

[–] nick@midwest.social 6 points 5 months ago

Larry Ellison should fuck his own plastic face.

[–] Placebonickname@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

? 4th Amendment?

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago

Guess all the oligarchs are getting envious of ol' FelonMusk and want to get in on the action...

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Well. Since Elon's already got free reign over all our federal data...

Seriously, how are the legislators so blind to what is going on?

[–] 108@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

I wonder why a nazi would want to do that?

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Eugenicist wants a big eugenics database, got it.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

I have a similar saying for Elon…

Fuck off Larry

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

I'd like all of him to be put into a tar pit for future paleontologists to study.

Go back to your island layer and fuck off.

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 3 points 5 months ago

I was going to make a snarky quip like "guess he's never actually used oracle", but then realized he IS oracle.

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Oracle is that way because he wants it that way

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Anonymous data right?

Right?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Iteration X is a pipe-dream.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

What could go wrong

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 5 months ago

How about you go fuck a frozen steel plate.
