May the demons of every hell eviserate every orifice of these garbage beings

Completely agree. But my guess is they already are.

Reroute all incoming funds for polymarket to a charity immediately

what the hell am I looking at here

dredfy.bsky.social•22 days ago

No idea. Maybe it’s a stock market thing?

bullwark.bsky.social•23 days ago

Theres a future where whoever paid to have this programmed is beaten to death with the mac book pro used to do it, and that's the only future I want to bet on.

I hope that if aliens ever find earth in millions of years after go extinct this is carved into stone to let them know that we probably deserved it

Goddamn i wonder if our gov has enough gamblers where someone’s foreign policy will be based on wether it’ll help their bet

loadingpleasew8.bsky.social•23 days ago

They should literally be sent to gaza

jennipunk.bsky.social•23 days ago

When this administration gets tired of manipulating the stock market, they can win big by dropping a nuke. Neat.

leregaliaenchanced.bsky.social•23 days ago

Also 18% for a fucking NUKE that's horrific

pintsizepam.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yeah the world needs a hard reset. Asteroid style.

vysaika.bsky.social•23 days ago

....well this is something I didn't know existed and now my life is the worse for it.

What the actual fucking hell ass balls is wrong with these people? 😬

Most reasonable example of Gambling addicts, depicted in color, 2025

I’ll bet 5$ that….no wait that’s the start of this.

I’ll be in my apartment deep in pensive thought

Is this real?
Jesus Christ this dystopian present is awful.

wildmanwille.bsky.social•23 days ago

Are we gambling on life? I mean we’ve always been but not like this. The fuck?!

lastnametbd.bsky.social•23 days ago

This is depraved. Even just investing in military supplies is bad enough to condemn people, but gambling on war actions is just downright evil to the core.

lastnametbd.bsky.social•23 days ago

military supplies i meant to say

tllgy.bsky.social•23 days ago

I mean they're gambling addicts so they probably will

slimewave.me•23 days ago

Believe it or not, work camps and compulsory reeducation for the degens is the modest compromise position

nerdjpg.com•23 days ago

That’s coercive Bryn how dare you 😭

slimewave.me•23 days ago

Sorry, I meant “rhizomatically-structured community knowledge exchange centers offering non-coercive rock-breaking programming”

nerdjpg.com•23 days ago

leezartti.me•23 days ago

no you’re right, the community knowledge exchange centers offering noncoercive rockbreaking activity cannot be rhizomatically structured due to the nature of the knowledge exchange being directly supervised by benevolent weapon holders volunteering their time to assist in reform.

slimewave.me•23 days ago

ah, I think you are referring to the voluntary peer-assisted radically-participatory transformative collective rehabilitation and accountability collectives

bitdizzy.bsky.social•23 days ago

did the vietnamese even need coercion beyond detainment for their reeducation of captured americans

bitdizzy.bsky.social•23 days ago

we are in hell like so many Abrahams with knife raised

bitdizzy.bsky.social•23 days ago

the violence of cultural revolution is a generational trauma not yet overcome by people who manage to seize power. i think all those years of bloody civil war probably fucked up the people in charge in ways that held back socialism

shuchancellor.online•23 days ago

Both @katespeace.bsky.social and I can verify, that kind of trauma becomes part of your synapses

And even if you get out it still traumatizes future generations

We both have so many stories

I saw my dad for easter and he said he still hasn't seen an RoI for my college education yet.

Me: not everything is about RoI dad

Dad: EVERYTHING is about RoI. The sooner you understand that, the better

libertyunderpants.bsky.social•23 days ago

I'm sorry. You deserve better.

its-just-mike.bsky.social•23 days ago

Lol thanks but he's just annoying at worst. He did help me out a lot during and immediately after college financially. He's my go to guy for career and financial advice because he thinks this way, and I just refuse to.

What in the entire fuck.

paur91.bsky.social•23 days ago

Incredibly moronic, but also I’d be hitting that bet against nuclear weapon detonation hard. If no, free money, and if that comes to pass I have way bigger problems.

rfksbrainworm.bsky.social•23 days ago

Inventing an actual hell so there's a place to put them

friendatarms.bsky.social•23 days ago

We going with the Dante-style "nested circles full of bizarre ironic punishments" kind of hell, or the classic "pit full of fire and worms and screaming"?

rfksbrainworm.bsky.social•23 days ago

Dealers choice. And what's wrong with worms?

friendatarms.bsky.social•23 days ago

Apparently they don't die enough?

friendatarms.bsky.social•23 days ago

Like personally, I don't get it, but apparently people used to be really *really* concerned about worms.

What profit a man to win a wager but lose his soul

thedanklark.bsky.social•23 days ago

A nuke getting detonated seems more likely than ever with India and Pakistan ramping up aggressions.

the-pied-piper.bsky.social•23 days ago

Nah, hurricane season is still way more likely to cause a nuke.

On average the first Atlantic Hurricane is sometime in mid May, so give it 1-2 weeks, and then it’s just a dice roll each time Fox News mentions one.

thedanklark.bsky.social•23 days ago

What the hell are you talking about? India and Pakistan have been threatening to nuke each other into oblivion for years, the only reason either country even has a nuclear weapons program is to wipe the other one off the earth.

the-pied-piper.bsky.social•23 days ago

Trump has expressed a real desire to nuke a hurricane, reportedly stopped by having the order swiped off his desk

Fun fact: no two nations that have threatened to nuke each other have ever nuked each other

I’m not saying it’s 0% chance, I’m just saying 47 nuking a hurricane is more likely

shurjo.me•23 days ago

and that’s precisely why they won’t nuke each other. mutually assured destruction is a thing, and deranged as world leaders might be they will sooner face a military coup than succeed in launching a nuke at a country that’s also in possession of nukes

thedanklark.bsky.social•23 days ago

You’re awfully confident for someone who clearly has no idea what they’re talking about.

shurjo.me•23 days ago

i’m from the region and i’m deeply invested in this conflict as someone that stands to be directly affected by it (read: family and home wiped out). this conflict has been going on for almost a century and has seen flare ups similar to this every few years. nobody’s nuking anybody, not over kashmir

princeennui.bsky.social•23 days ago

i don't believe in prison so these people should win a free trip to Mars on a SpaceX launching this Friday

Everything is a commodity. It's about the most repulsive aspect of this system.

pjevica.bsky.social•23 days ago

can you bet on when elon kills himself.

synrasa.bsky.social•23 days ago

I thought these only existed as a concept.

The CIA thought about starting a prediction market program, but it was shut down because they didn't want to turn into a gambling den.

steviebaby.bsky.social•23 days ago

all the people who point to polymarket as indicative of sentiment by the broader population on world events don't understand that this only acts as a poll of the most ethically-broken people in world history

pastapilled.bsky.social•23 days ago

correct - the same people say that greed is human nature

glifo.bsky.social•23 days ago

I don’t disagree with either of you, but also both of you could be describing the decision makers with power over these events

steviebaby.bsky.social•23 days ago

right, i also think our representatives in foreign policy are ethically compromised by wishing to be involved in foreign policy. i think anyone who runs for president should be put on a federal watch list. it should be treated as a honeypot.

glifo.bsky.social•23 days ago

I didn’t mean any decision maker in any specific role of any specific country, I believe that’s the general mindset of decision makers everywhere both public and private.
Collectivism is extremely rare up the ladder

steviebaby.bsky.social•23 days ago

oh for sure. i just mean that these polls in specific are relative to foreign policy. but in general whoever sees themselves as a born leader has an illness. i think the best leaders are the people who think they are too flawed to be good at it

steviebaby.bsky.social•23 days ago

yeah it's all the people who watched wall street and thought gordon gekko was the hero

meganox.bsky.social•23 days ago

he is

meganox.bsky.social•23 days ago

I mean for people who think financial markets should exist

samvega.bsky.social•23 days ago

> a poll of the most ethically-broken people in world history

You mean a poll of many of the people who wish the hardest to lead nations?

themilfmag.net•23 days ago

about that...

thatpersoneddie.bsky.social•23 days ago

Jesus that’s fucking bleak.

brandonocles.bsky.social•23 days ago

Between people treating chat gpt like an Oracle/lover/best friend, and online gambling covering the hell world collapse of everything, I'm definitely having some hope for humanity problems lately.

epitomeofman.bsky.social•23 days ago

Not to mention, how can you win that bet when Israel breaks every ceasefire?

quillbo.bsky.social•23 days ago

Polymarket is truly among the dregs of turning humanity into cash.

sireviscerate.bsky.social•23 days ago

18%? Seems low.

translucentenby.com•23 days ago

I hope people who do this get arrested for writing off their pet sheep as an entertainment expense
