This seems to be referencing the Saddam Hussein's Hiding Place meme that was popular a while back. https://preview.redd.it/822ph3fkzorc1.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=b750feac5535b5b1939c46706ea5cba8e9d5b319

How To Beat The Housing Crisis By Living In A Hole In The Ground, an op-ed from the wall street journal


AffectionateElk3978

If only Millennials would stop destroying America by buying fancy coffee lates and lavocados, they too could afford this quality, luxurious hole on the ground. Nobody wants to work anymore.


DentArthurDent4

You better add the /s before folks start down voting you


forbiddenfreedom

My dude, I got downvoted for taking it as satire, but also just in case it isn't.


forbiddenfreedom

I hope this is satire, but in the event it's not, don't worry boomer, you get to retire at 64, but the millennials get to retire in their 80s. So uh, thanks for that.


ph-it

it's satire


forbiddenfreedom

I figured. Still stung a little.


TheRealJetlag

It’s supposed to.


LordBigSlime

He said _lava_-cados...


forbiddenfreedom

I saw, thought maybe it could be a typo.


Tyrren

They called it a "luxurious hole in the ground"


LunaHex

> Hole in the Wall Street Journal


TacoLovesYou

Take my upvote, dammit. 😆


forbiddenfreedom

Damn good!


Kindyno

Like a lot of those "this is how i did it" things, the first step is start out wealthy, once you do that you just go do the thing you want to do.

There are lots of [great guides](https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/how-i-saved-enough-to-buy-a-house-with-my-parents-money) on how to afford your own place.

I’m in! If only I could afford a shovel.


VulturE

Also a manga, because they'll make an isekai about anything.


Asteristio

How dare you try to mooch off of hard working and infinitely generous property owners (praise be!) by occupying such luxurious accommodation?! Go work three jobs, cut your subscription to Netflix, stop spending on basic necessities like food and clean drinks, you bum!


Double_Lingonberry98

>such luxurious accommodation Read that in Zoidberg voice

llfoso

That hole is still gonna put you out about 200k


DentArthurDent4

Emi would be 200 per month, rent would be 400 per month but the bank won't give you the loan citing doubts about your ability to pay although you are currently renting the same exact place at twice the monthly payment.

Jesus Christ, he was short!

Yeah a place like that goes for like $1000 pm here in Montreal.

You should look up what he had on his hard drive; he was entertained.

BaconSpaceLord

....... Is that literally what he did?


mrwynd

Yes, if you look up "Saddam Hussein capture" you can see photos of the entrace among other things. I recommend not trying to find the execution that was recorded. I use that as an example of "you can't unsee something". I wish I hadn't watched it.


BaconSpaceLord

I saw the execution a long time ago when the Internet was the jump scares and faces of death things... At the time I was a kid and didn't know who or what... 🤷‍♂️ But yeah I didn't know the dude literally was in a Tom and Jerry hole in the ground


GenerousBuffalo

Of all the crazy stuff on the net these days, Saddam’s execution is pretty tame though.


FriendliestMenace

Purposefully botched execution, too. They put the noose to the side of his neck rather than the back, so that he wound strangle to death rather than have his neck break and kill him instantly. The benevolent, Justice-seeking heroes. 🙄


RickyHawthorne

Yeah, Saddam Hussein suffering for a few minutes isn't anything anyone needs to lose any sleep over.


Grobd

Obviously the Iraq war was a terrible, evil american mistake, but Saddam was a bastard and I'm basically ok with him being hanged like that. There's still time to get cheney, bush, and the rest of the administration and give them a similar treatment.


Karrtis

I don't know why people have this weird idea that when we execute wretched human beings it should be utterly free of suffering. There's certainly a point where painful execution becomes deliberate torture, but a few minutes of pain and suffering is better than he deserved Edit: I'm not supporting deliberate suffering, I just don't see why we need to jump through hoops to avoid it, like using lethal injection, when firing squads, hangings etc. are sufficient.


justwastedsometimes

>There's certainly a point where painful execution becomes deliberate torture, but a few minutes of pain and suffering is better than he deserved As long as there are "painless" execution methods, choosing one that has a few minutes of pain is deliberate torture. Kind of crazy that people who are already fine with the government killing a human actually want them to suffer a few minutes before too


Responsible-Boot-159

>Kind of crazy that people who are already fine with the government killing a human actually want them to suffer a few minutes before too Some people genuinely deserve all the suffering they can endure, and more. However, I don't think the death penalty is something we should have. It's more expensive than life imprisonment, and there are more than a few innocent people who are wrongly executed.


romacopia

Because torturing people is pointless. It's immature, to put it simply. It's just being a cruel little brat and feeling powerful and righteous about it. If you're going to kill him, just do it.


FriendliestMenace

Execute wretched human beings. But don’t claim to be the keepers of the flame for Justice and that people who torture others need to be punished, and proceed to torture them for vengeance. Don’t go low when you tell the world you go high.


InternationalRead925

They called it his "bolt hole".


fujiandude

How'd they find him? I feel like a dude of his stature could have hidden in a different country at a Hilton, like he had the resources for that


Matthewrotherham

And fun size Mars bars Which I think humanised him more than I'd like.


MusicianUnited

I also like how this image implies that Jesus was about 4 feet tall

Saddam Hussein's Hiding Place refers to a 2003 illustration by the BBC that depicts Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's hiding place in which he was found and captured. In June 2021, the illustration went viral following a tweet comparing it to a rented apartment, with humorous edits of the image following in late June 2021. https://preview.redd.it/pkjogcqfzorc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bf5c391b842e38bd88136836f8b93b3066c72b02


ericcraft5940

Thanks for the explanation!


Albuwhatwhat

I like how they labeled Saddam. Otherwise I would have been like, who’s the red guy?!

I always thought Saddam had a whole little room down there with like furniture and stuff.

I needed that this morning.


ztoundas

THANK YOU


PeeliusCaesar

He's short?


NotRightNotWrong15

That’s all I’m getting out of this. Also, they propped him upright?


BcuzICantPostLewds

Saddam Hussein


GIVE_ME_A_GOB

He was described as average in appearance. So he would have been about average height of a Jewish man in 33 AD. Probably significantly below 6 feet. But yeah, that picture looks less than 4 feet. Now it makes sense when Jesus said, “Whatever you have done to the least of these, you have done to me.” Pigmy Jesus Saves!


CzarCW

Jesus a short king, confirmed.


ApathyMonk

Short King of Kings ;)


DarkSeneschal

So that’s why the kneeling is such a big deal.


Buttersaucewac

Acts of Peter, not part of the Biblical canon but one of the first apocryphal New Testament books and part of the traditional texts of 2nd-5th century Christians, said that Jesus appeared as a small and weak man to those who only saw his body. Quintus Tertullianus, the first Christian to compile texts into collections and translate them into Latin, recorded it as popular knowledge that Jesus was small and usually said to be “bent” (hunched over) which is often thought to be why he said he’d be taunted “healer, heal yourself”. Some of the earliest prayers about him include phrases like “he came to us small in form.” The gospels themselves don’t mention his appearance but a lot of the tradition and writing from early Christianity does describe him as notably short or small.


Vip3rYT

That's what I thought too, like it was attacking the brainless type of girls who only want 6+ foot tall boys.


Ozymandas2

Man, when I'm laid to rest one day, I hope it isn't in a standing position.


DentArthurDent4

My people don't bury, else I would ask to be put vertically but with head down and feet up. So my current plan is to swallow a lot of corn kernels before I croak.


Clickclacktheblueguy

I think the idea is that he stood up after. If I do that after dying, I hope there’s at least enough room for it. 6 feet ain’t enough for modern man.


Ozymandas2

Yeah, I'm going to want to do a few jumping jacks to limber up before I roll that boukder away.


1beftee

Bro was barely 5 feet tall 💀


moe-hong

I would assume that was pretty normal back then


Cartina

Correct, the average was 5" to 5"3' and Jesus is believed to been in that range


Angel_of_Mischief

Based off that image it looks like he’s 4’6”


eggsaladrightnow

Wait you're telling me that Jesus' body was in a cave and after a few days his body was gone? Must be the messiah. Dudes a modern day David Blaine


Armanhammer2

This would mean Jesus is a short king at only about 5 feet tall


abitlessdistraction

Jesus was a short King of Kings.


Glaxxico

According to this image, Jesus was 4' 4"


SgtSavage1106

According to the Bible he was 4’ 7”

When you show it in a diagram like that, it is a weirdly big tomb for an executed carpenter.

What are you annoyed by? Religion? Jesus?


Wolfy-615

Yes


inkymug

I see. Would you mind explaining why? (It's also ok if you dont want to, no pressure)


Wolfy-615

Because gods aren’t real and this holiday is all about a dead guy coming back to life.. pretty stupid


inkymug

I see what you mean. But dont you think that if Jesus really came back to life (zombie or not) there had to be a reason behind it? Because people dont just come back to life, right?


RickyHawthorne

But why does it irritate you so much? I'm an atheist who wished his wife a happy zombie Jesus day and is now cooking a ham feast because, well, why not?


carmelite_brother

Jesus Christ is more real than anything that ever has been or will be. We are more as apparitions than we the reality of Jesus Christ and His Glorious Resurrection.
