That author has the best name for a fake ID I've ever seen.

NekoRogue@slrpnk.net · 20 pts · 2y

That's definitely Roger from American Dad.

Definitely seems like the name of someone who coined the term “golfercide” because he’s worried about having his own head lopped off.

Disembowelment for golfing?!? Like cut your guts and let them hang out of you - for golfing?!?! If they are going to sell the golf course, that's fine but don't cut me!

If you golf you deserve it tbh

...I feel attacked

Nutteman@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 2y

Most people feel a bit attacked when disemboweled, I imagine

Honytawk@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Not as much as the attack on biodiversity that golf courses create.

Or you, when people tell you that you look like you.

It's the first step of the recipe to cook and eat the rich

Chakravanti@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y

Yup. I just ate breakfast but I'm still this kind of hungry.

Finally, that tired excuse of a sport has no reason to exist

machinaeZER0@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 2y

Reject golf, embrace disc golf (ideally in a naturally wooded area with minimal deforestation)

What else are we supposed to do? Humans are running out of creative ways to advance our destructive powers as is, think of all the negative ecological & sociological effects, the senseless overconsumption, the shitty superiority complex apparently necessary to play, etc.

I too sometimes forget they call it a sport, there must be a funny story behind that as it's obviously ironical.

Yay, more high-rises to half-build and abandon!

Doorbook@lemmy.world · 46 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Complained the countries that have housing crisis.

I rather a place were growing population get to live comfortably over an empty space for rich people to kick a ball around.

I have no love for golf courses, but also no faith in the Chinese economy to actually deliver on this (obviously satirical) proposal.

Watch this video. Those massive half-built apartment complexes are not meant for people to live in, they're investments to own by the kind permission of pooh bear. They're basically treated like NFTs that occupy real space and never get finished because there is no profit in making them livable once they have an owner.

Allero@lemmy.today · 1 pts · 2y

Those places actually do get populated now, though that doesn't mean China doesn't have a problem.

Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y

You don't kick a golf ball, typically.

This is public housing, meaning the funding is coming from the government. They'll be lucky if it gets as far as quarter built.

conneru64@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 14 pts · 2y (1 reply)

China's government is actually pretty good at getting things done

kay@lemmings.world · 16 pts · 2y

trucy@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 4 pts · 2y

The goal is to also get rid of r🤮ch people

squiblet@kbin.social · 12 pts · 2y

Great! When can we start?

statues_lasers@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 2y

Oh no think about golf cart drivers.

Finally, AI starting to have that "only a human could have come up with something this random" Turing Test feel to it.

i dont see the problem of having one course available for not-rich people to use and play the sport. are they really THAT wasteful?

konej@pawb.social · 1 pts · 2y

just play mini golf it's like regular golf but not boring as fuck (and more environmentally friendly)
