    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!!

    Wouldn't that actually double the amount of homeless people?

    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 😎

    The really weird part is that I actually did know.

    What I don’t know is when, where, or how I got that information.

    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 🤔

    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?!?".

    Seems a little extreme to me. Surely, there most be more humane solutions.

    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?

    Why cut them in half when we could continue to let them suffer for decades and accept none of the blame or consequences?

    They first have to quit the international human rights agreements before they are allowed to cut people in Halves. Give them a break!

    Turns out homeless people drink much more milk than expected, or are somehow getting their hands on calcium supplements, their bones are far less brittle than expected and keep dulling out the blades.

    Well, as usual they offloaded the work on the cheapest contractor, which happens to be homeless people, and they have been dragging their feet. Not the conservative's fault really, that's the innate laziness of the working class.

    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?

    Is this sponsored by the British or conservatives? I'm getting mixed signals here.
