I dunno, is that long enough?

Edit: Only 3.865 million years

[–] eatCasserole@lemmy.world 107 points 5 days ago (3 children)

He should have to pay rent the whole time too.

Not just taxes on what he makes in hell, but also the taxes he was supposed to pay while alive.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 37 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I'll add only that inflation 's a bitch, and you don't get raises in hell.

[–] PartyAt15thAndSummit@lemmy.zip 22 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I wonder how high the rent in hell is.

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 5 days ago

Check prices by the jersey turnpike

[–] Kage520@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Probably pretty cheap considering people are always dying to get in there

Surely that'd make it expensive! It's in high demand!

[–] dovah@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago

And the debt accrues interest.

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 53 points 5 days ago

No, he can't spend all of his income paying down the debt.

He has to pay rent, medical bills, pay for his car and insurance before he can begin to repay his debt.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 29 points 4 days ago

No, because he'll still need to pay rent, utilities, and taxes. He'll be lucky if he pays off that debt before the heat death of the universe.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Might as well round it up to 4 to account for inflation.

20% increase in living expenses with no salary adjustment.

Fun fact: Lucy is dated 3.2 million years ago.

[–] NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

One year = 8,766 hours
33.88 x 10^9 / 8,766 = 3,865,551 Years
And I bet he spends another million years complaining about how unfair it is.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

you can be rich like him if you work hard

Haha good one

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Assuming his networth 241 billion, 7 dollar minimum wage, 24 hour workdays, that would be just under 4 million years

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 18 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I hope you calculated expenses that mere mortals need to spend their money on.

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I wish the human brain was built to understand numbers this big... Maybe we wouldn't have let it get to this.

[–] makeshiftreaper@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

For the record that's about as far back as the first "homo"s appeared. Homo Erectus, Homo Habilus, and of course us, Homo Sapiens. So he would be working from the time that the first thing we could mostly call humans first appeared, through some ice ages, through agriculture, and the entirety of human unrecorded and recorded history. 24/7/365 with zero breaks. Truly, we cannot comprehend these numbers

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I say tack on another week of wages for every disciplinary action, and if he somehow still magically becomes a perfect employee and completes it with the handicap, fuck it, let him into heaven.

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

That's what purgatory is for really

[–] InfiniteHench@lemmy.world 45 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Why do we have to wait until he dies

[–] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 21 points 4 days ago

Hierarchy!

Man, don't you know? The law ain't made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days - back in the real old days - it was just every man for himself, scrooblin' and scrat-scroblin' for the good stuff, the greenest valleys. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like 'The rest of you, y'all scrats get sand.' And that's when they made the laws, you see? Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said 'This is fair now, this is the law.' Once they were winning, they changed the rules up

I don't trust Bezos to distribute his wealth, but I sure as fuck don't trust anarchists or tankies to do it, either. I DO trust a democracy to do it via taxation, but apparently that's a fucking minority, too, so it never gets enough votes.

And will netflix run with the idea because I'd like to watch

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 37 points 5 days ago

Why wait till he's dead?

[–] cuerdo@lemmy.world 22 points 5 days ago

He also has to pee on a bottle and then drink from it in a loop

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 18 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You can add in all the other stupid rich billionaires while you're at it.

Homie, it's 2025, everything runs in parallel these days..

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

In parallel and multiple dimensions.

Not to confuse with universes. We are now in the mirror universe.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's just the plot of The Egg.

[–] Nangijala@feddit.dk 3 points 4 days ago

That story legit changed how I looked at life.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 8 points 5 days ago

Lately I felt that the concept of hell wasn't really in my mind until I spent time on the US dominated internet.

Hell doesn't exist, I don't like it being thought of as punishment. He'll be dead when he's dead. Nothing more.

One must imagine Bezos happy.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

"If"?

I always smile when someone starts a question about death with the word "if"

It's never a question of 'if' we die or when someone dies ..... it's a question of 'when'

Death .... it's the great equalizer for all of humanity, no matter how smart, dumb, young, old, rich, poor, intelligent, stupid, educated, illiterate you are, we always end up in the same place where we started .... the deep dark eternal sleep.

[–] NichEherVielleicht@feddit.org 5 points 5 days ago

Good point! Correct!

Old version:

[–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 3 points 5 days ago

You can’t imagine him happy
