I think this meme is about the old story of calling 911 and pretending to order a pizza. This was a viral story almost a decade back and stayed in social media platforms as a real thing. However this widespread social media publicity actually helped a victim. Details are in the previous link. This worked only because the operator was aware about the internet lore and was able to connect it.

In summary don't do it. Operators will disregard your call.

[-] bss03@infosec.pub 26 points 3 months ago

If you do have to do it, you can hit 1234 or any other 4 digits after the 911 and you will still be connected to emergency services.

Source: accidentally called 911 when trying to make an international call and not understanding when the phone system needed the 9 prefix (only for internal extensions).

[-] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 7 points 3 months ago

I don't think they'd completely disregard your call. At least in the UK there are procedures to seeing whether or not an emergency call is erroneous or not. In a lot of cases they will end up ringing back before sending someone to check the location if one is called but there is no response on the other end

The image depicts a know violent asshole. The wife is not calling the Pizza place but instead calling 911.

Abusive, yes, but as far as I'm aware not violent. Still fits (calling 911 as per the post), but not for physical abuse.

He has been known to publicly harass and threaten (it's why he was barred from the Grammy awards), he's been sued by employees for harassment, intimidation, retaliation,and discrimination, and even failure to pay his employees, and he's also being sued by his former personal* assistant for sexual harassment, including him masturbating in front of her.

Kanye is 100% an abusive PoS. Just not, as of now, physically abusive afaik.

Edit: Stupid autocorrect typo personally/personal

Edit 2: Some violence

Second article starts with an amazing line:

Kanye West, the disgraced former shoe salesman and dinner companion of Holocaust-denier Nick Fuentes

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 months ago

I think he beat up a papparazzi once but that is the extent of his physical violence i guess yeah.

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

Forgot about that, and I think someone who asked for an autograph?

The paparazzi one, unfortunately, I can understand.

[-] Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

The autograph one was an "autograph dealer" that was repeatedly getting autographs to sell. He had been following Kanye around, popping up at restaurants, etc.. Not saying it was right, just giving some context.

[-] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

I hadn't actually heard of any abuse allegations either. I also don't keep up with celebrity stuff anymore. I just knew that if a fruitcake saw him, it would turn to another fruitcake and say "that guy is nutty"

They're referring to when someone experiencing domestic abuse calls 999 and pretends to order a pizza, when really that's a signal to the police that they need help.

[-] Grabthar@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

0118 999 881 999 119 725 3 now though, right?

She’s calling to order a pizza but dials 911 instead

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago

There was this thing where a woman pretended to order pizza but actually called 911 on her abusive husband.

[-] JPAKx4@lemmy.blahaj.zone 61 points 3 months ago

Pro tip: look up your local police station and dial their full 10 digit phone number instead of 911

[-] then_three_more@lemmy.world 102 points 3 months ago

I'd use 0118 999 881 999 119 725 3

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 35 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That's so easy to remember. Let me try.

87% upvotes on this post.

So wait the down voting 13% beat their spouse or something?

[-] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 months ago

Downvoting in general confuses me so often. There are times where a simple stated a fact, not even something controversial, will be downvoted. I’m like, who goes around just downvoting at random? The most recent one I recall is someone saying that everyone comes back to life in fighting games and I pointed out that Kliff from Guilty Gear never came back and I got downvoted for that. Like what??? I was hoping to get some replies and have a decent conversation there, but my comment got hidden due to the downvotes.

[-] Shark03@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Could be accidental down votes. I mean half the upvotes I give are an accidental tap lol.

Whoever made this meme is too young to have experienced “dialing” a phone number.

[-] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 38 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It is still called dialing despite no longer being rotary phones, but also, they didn't end the ability to use rotary phones until like 2005ish. I've used one before they ended it and I still have one that I wish I could use! Never know, OP could be like me lol.

Dialed and typed is the same thing (?)

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Time to dial up a new resume

[-] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

For phone numbers I mean. Unless you had a rotary phone

[-] scytale@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago

Even on modern landlines where you pushed buttons, it was still called dialing. Someone who calls it typing probably only ever called people using a smartphone.

[-] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Even on touch phones it's still called dialing though...

Just like it was for the button phones. It's the same as typing

Oof I was hoping this was a joke about ordering a pizza from an app and the spouse didn't like that they were only entering the security code and not the whole card number... Because the joke is about having the credit card saved. :(

[-] Sakychu@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

Too innocent for this world..

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

I haven't heard anything about this fella in a minute. Is he still championing Trump while spouting random hate/nuttiness?

[-] Lupus@feddit.org 23 points 3 months ago

Who cares what this living example for why you should take your meds has to say?

I feel like all this attention it brought him only amplified his mental disorders. I sincerely hope that he is getting the help he clearly needs and that the media will leave him alone for the sake of his sanity.
