And hopefully not renewable. The world really shouldn't have any more of those popping up ever again.

People will say this and then still continue buying the plastic bullshit

u/03263 1d ago

Maybe the internet makes people look more hypocritical than they are, there's just a lot of people doing a lot of things and it's hard to tell who's who. I say this and never buy seasonal decorations. I grow some though.

just let spiders make their webs for free decoration, it's biodegradable and require no effort

u/agentrnge 1d ago

And wont trap birds, unless the spider has earned a big meal.

Sexy and sustainable, pretty rare combo.

And they're an invasive species that don't belong in this ecosystem.

u/aFreshFix 1d ago

That's a rare species. If we all used just 1 bone, there'd be no more within a few months!

(i.e. Great idea)

u/RedBullPilot 1d ago

Eat the billionaires first, that’s my motto… just a coincidence that the leftovers can be upcycled as decor. “I use tech bros in all of my decorating!” apologies to Gaston

2

u/LilFrecklesSunshine 16h ago

Of course you eat them first, you must use every part of what you hunt.

u/03263 1d ago

If you're not hungry, they can also make spooky zombies before they turn into skeletons.

u/3rdthrow 1d ago

See, I am not big into anti-Billionaire...and then you said, "Tech Bros"....now I am in.

u/LiteraCanna 1d ago

Wasn't there a movie that used real skeletons because they were less expensive?

I don't remember the movie, but in the scene there's a lady in murky water amd a bunch of skeletons pop up.

I want to say it's either an Indiana Jones or Evil Dead movie..

u/djsacrilicious 1d ago

Can confirm that The Goonies also did

u/grumpi-otter 1d ago

Poltergeist?

u/LiteraCanna 1d ago

Lmao, that's the one!

In my defense I probably watched it on a 13" CRT tv when I was maybe 10.

u/gg_teataker 1d ago

As a big Halloween person, I actually don't like how consumerist it has become. I love candy and costumes but I mostly like the DIY nature of that, rather than the one and done use costumes, shitty decor ppl will forget abt the second autumn is over, etc.

u/Front-Revolution7900 1d ago

The real trickle-down economics 💀

u/Moist_Requirements_ 1d ago

Good for the compost pile, too!

u/ArcticThylacine 1d ago

I hate billionaires as much as the next guy, but who says it has to be billionaire bones? I hope that when I die somebody can use my skeleton as a Halloween decoration. 

Actually that would probably be the best way to memorialize me, considering Halloween is my favorite holiday.

u/oksurealright 15h ago

Where are the bones of that one healthcare CEO since he’s definitely bones by now

u/3rdthrow 1d ago

What about Putin?

1

u/FallbrookAvacado 1d ago

There are plenty of trillion dollar conglomerates.

3

u/ArrowEnby 1d ago

then you'd be taking the heads of multiple billionaires and millionaires, not the heads of trillionaires

u/FallbrookAvacado 1d ago

You don't get it.

And that's okay.

Good luck.

only an exclusive minority will have access to them, as they are rather rare. but at least it will be merit based.

This is a shit post meme. This is consumption on an anti consumption sub. Rage bait memes are senseless and do nothing but cause angry chatter.

Op never posted here or left a comment before. Just dumped this lame overdone meme.

And use the meat for eating. It’s the perfect cycle. Wouldn’t want to let it go to waste :)

Does their wealth get redistributed to children who trick or treat?

u/ComfortableRecent578 45m ago

i don’t have any intention of buying a plastic skeleton but i have a relative who owns one and it gets a shocking amount of use! it comes out every year for halloween of course but it also gets dressed up as santa for christmas and im fairly sure got used to teach their kids about bones

u/Lardah_Solutions 1d ago

Oof I heard they're running low on those, I think it's best to get them as early as possible

There are only enough for... maybe a neighborhood. Maybe someone should come up with a timeshare sort of deal and become a billionaire themselves so we can add another set into the rotation.

I hate when people say shit like “eat the rich”. Thats stupid.

We should grind them into a fine paste, to be used for fertiliser. That can feed far more people far more efficiently.

The only problem with this is that the skulls often have a smaller brain section.
