    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!

      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.

        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.

    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?

      It takes a ton of land and resources for something that’s only sold to the elite.

      If we had far less and made them community accessible and not require the lawns that golf does, it would be better.

      Frizbee golf is a good example. Yes its not the same but its in a lot of public parks, doesnt destroy the landscape to build it, and the maint is low

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

    does anyone else think disemboweled is a very grotesque word for what they’re describing
