      I think thats the best part. At first I thought it was real, then it referenced honey badger and crazy frog and I was like... Naaaaah this is way too self away to be real

      I am currently on their discord which I found here: https://cryptoland.is/

      It is real and not satire.

      The comments section is amazing btw:

      Garthdon 9 hours ago: This is the video that you see on a TV somewhere just when you land on the island after communication has been lost for 2 weeks and you are sent to investigate. There's no one about, but you see a trail of blood leading to a door. And in the distance you hear a roar...

      KYTROUS 2 hours ago: This is hilarious oh my gosh the youtube poop potential of this is amazing. It's like watching a really bad 90s animated movie, except it's not a movie, it's a real project that is probably doomed to fail and become the topic of youtube investigative videos two years later. So excited to watch those!

      Tommy Millar 4 hours ago: Jesus christ.
      I was sitting thinking, "the dude is trying so hard to channel Robin Williams despite the animation and voice acting being as animated as tile grout" And I thought that was the worst part until Haunted Emma Stone appeared, Crazy Frog started playing, and I witnessed about 48 individual pieces of copyright infringement

    I really love this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Reddit_Island/

    Every month or two I'll get a message from some libertarian or Elon Musk nerd. They'll try to be sneaky about it like an island boy Jehovah's witness, but for some reason they're convinced that I want to help them buy an island. Despite most of my profile being angry Marxism and a juche shrine to my dog, with my $50 living room furniture clearly in the background.

    They all want to rule a Little St. James fiefdom with an iron fist, but none of them have the money to buy the island so they've devised something between patronage and pyramid scheme. I've been to reddit meetups and oof. An island full of them. u/Violentacrez, the r/jailbait guy, was just a normal schmuck at Dallas meetups.

    Can't believe I had to hear "honey badger don't care" in the year of our lord 2022
