Time to make the world's largest Labubu so I can pocket $150,000

[-] spectre@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago
  • worlds' largest labubu: $10k
  • my pocket: $140k

Nobody worry about my budget, everything checks out

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

So it is crypto grifters trying to scam people out of money by faking a satanic panic about labubus?

I hate that I understand the sentence I just wrote.

Nah I think it's more like dude make an obvious joke poster with a link to his crypto scam hoping some of the people who check it out for laughs end up going for it.

Sounds like they just want to buy the world's biggest labubu

[-] segfault11@hexbear.net 17 points 1 day ago

"destroying the world's largest labubu" sounds like a mrbeast video

[-] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

Pazuzu is the name of the demon from the exorcist. I think this was made by some 16 year olds for shits.

Well, true, but also quite a bit more than that for much longer.
wiki/Pazuzu

And the whole thing seems like a parody of the things that happened in the Satanic panic.

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

The early 90s, you say?

Pazuzus in Labubus are coming down the stairs...

[-] ElcaineVolta@kbin.melroy.org 15 points 2 days ago

from wikipedia

In ancient Mesopotamian religion, Pazuzu is a demonic deity who was well known to the Babylonians and Assyrians throughout the first millennium BCE.... He was usually regarded as evil, but he could also sometimes be a beneficent entity who protected against winds bearing pestilence and he was thought to be able to force the demoness Lamashtu, his rival, back to the underworld. Amulets bearing his image were positioned in dwellings to protect infants from Lamashtu and pregnant women frequently wore amulets with his head on them as protection from her. As an apotropaic entity, he is considered as both a personification of a destructive and dangerous wind, but also as a repellant to other demons, one who safeguards the home from their influence.

sounds like he's not so bad

if you go to the URL on the poster you'll see that this is actually marketing for a cryptocurrency grift: their token, issued this week, is "trading" at just $0.00014545 and has 999.95M units "circulating", which gives it a "market cap" of a whopping $146k ๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿค‘๐Ÿค‘!!1one

(for anyone unclear on what this means)most, hopefully all, of the 118 "holders" of this "asset" are of course actually the issuer of it, who is "trading" it with themself for the purpose of tricking other people into believing that a "market" for it exists so that they will give them money for it.

i recommend deleting this post.

Uhhh, would it be sufficient for me to put a CW on it cuz I still think it's funny

[-] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

i also found it funny (and far enough in to poe's law territory that i had to check the site to figure out what category it was in... crypto scam was not one of my expectations)

I was half expecting it to link to Big Money Salvia's merch page. Seems like a bit he'd pull.

I already hate that I had to learn what a labubu is. I also hate that the next time I go visit my parents with their adopted children, there will be piles of those things all over the house because my parents are the definition of treat piggies and they buy more crap than I've owned in my lifetime every year for those kids. Just the most useless fucking garbage that kills the planet and fills landfills to the brim.

Oh those "thotties" you follow? Succubus.

Look I'm trying to give up hardcore porn so excuse me if I have to gawk at a goth lady in a bikini now and again!

We are crypto grifters raising money to fund our gambling addiction*

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago

These so-called Christians are all secret Lamashtu-worshipers.

What is Christianity even about bruh

[-] robotElder2@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

Personifying your own bigotry and terror of the world as a god so you can worship it instead of get over it.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

To be honest, this is just your standard conservative outrage using their religion as a weapon.

[-] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

Elderly people not getting positive attention from their families and so acting out for negative attention.

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

child abuse

[-] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago

Well now I think labubu is cool. All they had to do was tell me the toys are demonic and I'd be down

[-] daniyeg@hexbear.net 3 points 1 day ago
