Air supply. You can find the intake with those microphone cameras or old school smoke.

The Hamptons are a low lying area. You never want to be defending a low lying area.

Ya think this be related to the rumor that rich people taste like wagu? Plenty of alcohol an massages make for great marbling

[-] AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Do they not realize the ones installing their security devices are also the same people they are trying to protect against?

[-] brownsugga@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

it's almost like they're realizing they live on the same planet as all the poors

So many games have readied us for this.

There is a very thin line between “Safe inside your bunker” and “Trapped inside your bunker”. The people on the outside dictate how that plays out.

If you're so afraid of the proles maybe you should give up a fair share of your slice.

What's sad is, they already essentially do this with us.

[-] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 20 points 2 hours ago

The Epstein class literally do

These armed guards have the ability to do humanity a great service. I hope at least one of them finds their conscience.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 43 minutes ago

Just like the secret service. And the military. Etc...

[-] cymor@midwest.social 2 points 1 hour ago

I'm pretty sure a tomato and a slingshot could still touch them.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 43 minutes ago

Seems like a wasted opportunity though.

[-] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 hours ago

Moats, and with climate change being what it is? American alligators are about to be as common as chickens before too long.

[-] aviationeast@lemmy.world 44 points 4 hours ago

But can they really trust their guards? What guard wouldn't want to have the nickname the kingslayer?

[-] artifex@piefed.social 12 points 1 hour ago

That’s why they’ll fit their guards with death collars to prevent them from getting ideas.

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

First you have to get said guards (who are hired to protect you) to agree to wear those. Only a moron would agree to that. And sure they malfunction too. So be hard if you security is fucking disabled from your death collar to protect you. Rich people are not smart.

[-] how_we_burned@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 hour ago

Where do you buy death collars from?

[-] LuckyDevil@piefed.social 4 points 36 minutes ago

Big MT Research and Development Center

I get mine in Paradise Falls.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 15 points 3 hours ago

So....

Anyone have stocked up on siege weapons?

[-] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 14 points 2 hours ago

I think drones are the new siege weapons.

Billionaires: *build moats and walls around their homes*

I saw some really neat YouTube videos about trebuchet. They don't seem that complex.

[-] BrazenSigilos@ttrpg.network 6 points 1 hour ago

Local High school kids build them for a graded project around where i live, so not very difficult for an adult to handle.

[-] SacredHeartAttack@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

Been meaning to find an excuse to engineer a trebuchet.

[-] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

I suppose the ones who buy entire islands have a chance at raising their own food, and producing clean water, but the rest of them are vulnerable to an old fashion siege, to go along with their moat.

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 2 points 1 hour ago

I should practice building a trebuchet...

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 27 points 4 hours ago

Stay scared, shitheads.

[-] Ghostie@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

Look how they run.

[-] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 15 points 4 hours ago

Back? wait... what did you think US suburbs were designed for then?

[-] mika_mika@lemmy.world 16 points 4 hours ago

I get the analogy, but these are literal moats of water surrounding an owners land we are talking about.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 4 points 2 hours ago

Time to start the siegin' folks!

[-] OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

When they hide in a bunker, just bury the bunker. Pour concrete over the entrance.

[-] Gigasser@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago

When met with walls and steel gates, just use your cannon, as the founding fathers intended.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

lets make them put those fancy security systems to use.
