it is never too late to exploit other human beings, you just need Capital and the blessing of the bourgeois State

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

In Gein's case, you don't even need the capital or blessing!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Look at the president, mid 90's, barely able to make bowels with mouth noises, but he's expertly dismantling the country. Not slowly like the Dumas Republican party. He's been doing this in days! While we go to work our asses off every day, this old fuck goes to work in destroying our economy and our children's futures!

All to show you, it's never too late.

The joke went so far over people's heads it struck a passing 737.

Step 1: .... be born white

Step 2: ... be born male

I was only able to achieve step 2. Too bad for me I guess.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I guarantee you don't need either quality to reach Ed Gein levels of notoriety. All it takes is effort.

And a dedication to folk art.

[–] ininewcrow 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Where do you live again? .... you know ... so we can 'talk'.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Hey, Ed didn't care if you lived or not. You want to achieve what he achieved, you better get a shovel and head to the nearest cemetery.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You should do inspirational talks on stage.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I am way too busy with my folk art.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

But imagine what you could accomplish!

Lotta people showing a lack of serial killer knowledge

It's crazy to me that Ray Kroc was already in the unedited version of this image... Dude Edison'd the fuck outta McDonald's.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'd consider it worse than Edison. Edison's real contribution to technology was the creation of a company R&D lab geared towards new products. He would invest in the development of the product before it became big.

Kroc took over an already functioning business.

....dude Musk'd the fuck outta McDonald's?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Ray Kroc started buying up the land the franchises were being built on and became McDonald's landlord. Then he was able to eventually force McDonald brothers into a deal because he could have shut down the businesses by not renewing their leases on the land.

I was really disappointed by the film about him with Michael Keaton. Even though they couldn't completely hide who he really was, it was a hagiography.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think it did a great job selling that he was a total sleazeball

Like, are you saying i should try to become an oligarch?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

No, you could just as easily become someone who does arts and crafts with human remains.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Human remains are so hard to come by. I prefer human waste, much more abundant and it really captures the spirit of america.

Hey, Ed waited until they were already dead.

Most of the time.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Gross. I thought this was gonna be about authors, artists, or inventors.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Are you saying Ed Gein wasn't an artist? And he invented the woman suit!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Ok I had to look up Ed Gein and it all makes sense now. 😂 Good one!

"Me eat dead people!"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

That's exactly how you start a fight with Colorado.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Buzzfeed title: Who shortened the most human lives, the answer may shock you.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Ed Gein only killed two people officially! The least evil of the four!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Unironically true.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you're over 52 then is it too late?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Seems like past your 50s it's too late
