Well it wasn't a toe, so it likely wasn't a German nihilist.

[-] heeplr@feddit.de 23 points 1 year ago

No need to be a german nihilist. Anyone could get a toe. There are ways... You don't wanna know about it, believe me.

[-] maxxxxpower@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago

Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish.

[-] eating3645@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

I will cut off your Johnson!

[-] boobdylan@feddit.de 13 points 1 year ago

You know who it was? A bunch of fucking amateurs. They send him a finger and he's supposed to shit himself with fear. These fucking amateurs...

[-] ikiru@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago

Nihilists? Fuck me...

Say what you will about the tenents of National Socialism, Dude, at least it's an ethos.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 59 points 1 year ago

There is only one demand, and it is a simple one.

At 4pm this afternoon, President Emmanuel Macron must appear on live French television, on all networks, terrestrial and satellite, and ... No!

On all networks, terrestrial and satellite, and have full, unsimulated sexual intercourse with a pig! I don't understand!?

[-] JoeClu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Ah. I remember that. Good show.

[-] catastrophicblues@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wait I remember this show but forgot the name! What was it? Black Mirror?

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Black Mirror 1x01: The National Anthem.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

That's how they fucked everyone's mind on episode one, I think it really was what put the show on the map, you'd start this new series you haven't heard of before and boom, pig fucking.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That's how you do, no half-measures.

[-] bobman@unilem.org 0 points 1 year ago

Great reddit humor.

[-] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world 44 points 1 year ago

Wait, was the person who sent the finger the original owner of the finger, or someone else? The article isn't clear.

[-] _HR_@lemmy.world 69 points 1 year ago

(…) cops have yet to ID a suspect.

combined with

Tests later concluded that the digit belonged to a “living human being” who authorities contacted and was “given full medical support,” the source said.

seems to mean that the sender of the finger, and the person to whom the finger belonged to are 2 separate people.

[-] Bluetreefrog@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

(…) cops have yet to ID a suspect.

Surely the could do it digitally?

[-] kromem@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

digitally

I see what you did there...

[-] dudebro@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

That's fucking weird.

Was the finger giving willingly?

[-] WolfhoundRO@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Unless the victim was Peter Pettigrew, I highly doubt

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 year ago

And did the original owner consent to their finger being used in such a way?

C’est carrément une situation merdique, peu importe comment on voit ça. Ça fait très Moyen Âge, non ?

[-] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Le doigt a été coupé par une mini-guilottine, a la francaise

[-] AncientFutureNow@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Dude, I can get you a toe.

[-] Widowmaker_Best_Girl@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

With nail polish?

[-] Pogonax_@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

I thought the French knew that they're supposed to cut parts off of the ruler (beheading) like back in the day, not send them severed body parts smh

[-] iByteABit@lemmy.one 14 points 1 year ago

What I've decided to do is this. I have a set of shears at home. And each time you bother me from this day on, I'll take those shears and I'll take one of me fingers off with them. And I'll give that finger to ya. A finger from me left hand. Me fiddle hand. And each day you bother me more, another I'll take off and I'll give ya until you see sense enough to stop. Or until I have no fingers left. Does this make things clearer to ya?

[-] boogetyboo@aussie.zone 7 points 1 year ago

Such a joyful movie

Protests are one thing, but this is a bit much. What does it achieve?

[-] InEnduringGrowStrong@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

remember what happened after Rogozhin sent shrapnel from his ass to Macron? i'd be very, very careful

[-] _cerpin_taxt_@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago
[-] skillissuer@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

so there's that former roskosmos boss turned full career politican, dmitri rogozhin. he had a bday party in occupied donetsk city, well in range of ukrainian artillery, that he claimed later to be official meeting, and someone tipped ZSU. few moments later dmitri was badly wounded with pieces of western-standard steel in various places where it shouldn't be; later he got it pulled out and sent it to macron as a some kind of bizarre "threat". fast forward one week or so and france announced weapons package to ukraine

[-] WolfhoundRO@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I believe in freedom of speech, but HOLY FUCK THIS AIN'T THAT ANYMORE. This is madness

[-] Crow@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Someone’s done being Emmanuel’s friend.

[-] spunkycomics@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not quite the same effect as that “WHUMP” against the door
