Definitely seems like the name of someone who coined the term “golfercide” because he’s worried about having his own head lopped off.

Disembowelment for golfing?!? Like cut your guts and let them hang out of you - for golfing?!?! If they are going to sell the golf course, that's fine but don't cut me!

Reject golf, embrace disc golf (ideally in a naturally wooded area with minimal deforestation)

What else are we supposed to do? Humans are running out of creative ways to advance our destructive powers as is, think of all the negative ecological & sociological effects, the senseless overconsumption, the shitty superiority complex apparently necessary to play, etc.

I too sometimes forget they call it a sport, there must be a funny story behind that as it's obviously ironical.

I have no love for golf courses, but also no faith in the Chinese economy to actually deliver on this (obviously satirical) proposal.

Watch this video. Those massive half-built apartment complexes are not meant for people to live in, they're investments to own by the kind permission of pooh bear. They're basically treated like NFTs that occupy real space and never get finished because there is no profit in making them livable once they have an owner.

Those places actually do get populated now, though that doesn't mean China doesn't have a problem.

This is public housing, meaning the funding is coming from the government. They'll be lucky if it gets as far as quarter built.

Finally, AI starting to have that "only a human could have come up with something this random" Turing Test feel to it.
