When I was reading that line I could already feel the Hexbear comments coming.
Wasn't disappointed.All lemm.ee users well know that the inferior Asiatic brainpan could never discern a pile of shit from an ice cream cone.
Not only did Marky mark buy the world's largest ruby gemstone because he's fucking rich, he also fucking never actually sold it and kept the shit-shaped gem
Not only is he a racist, he's one of dumbass uber-rich.
it's literally mentioned that Mark Mothersbaugh bought the ruby before carving it. It's supposed to be a joke about the type of person who'd buy such a thing, well look in the mirror. imagine trying to make a mockery of rich people and this is the avenue you do it with
I used to like Devo. I still like their 70s stuff but they've never been as subversive as they claim to be.
Does this ruby actually exist? There seem to be almost no references to it online. A Rolling Stones article, OP's link, and a couple of reddit posts. It does not appear on Wikipedia's list of world's largest rubies. As recently as last year, this would have placed #1 on world's largest rubies sold.
Something smells fishy here.
there's a specter haunting the lemmyverse.
