I just say my name is Bigus Dickus whenever they call me. They usually hang up or insult me.

For the “car’s extended warranty” I just tell them it’s a 1969 Wayne Industries Batmobile. They usually just say they don’t provide coverage for that car and hang up.

reversebananimals ,

I jokingly said “1999 Honda Fit” so many times that now they call me asking about that fictional car.

Imgonnatrythis ,

Thank goodness you called. My 2002 Kia Dia-reeha warranty is just about to expire.

Tell them your car is Mader Chod. Or Ben Chod.

It’s gonna happen to you and your grandkids are gonna be wondering how you managed to get scammed by such obvious AI mimicking government entities with it’s own complex ecosystem running milliseconds behind reality.

OttoVonNoob OP ,

My family member who I often lock horns over politics was almost scammed. Everyone eas giving him a hard time and he was anxious about me giving him shit. I told him, it wasn’t his fault someone tried to steal from you. Theyre in the wrong, not you. He was very taken back and grateful. It can happen to anyone those Cock Dinosaurs try to induce fight or flight.

shneancy ,

despite being tech savvy and knowledgeable about various scamming methods I once nearly fell for an obvious scam.

I was expecting a package and when I woke up in the morning I saw on my phone that there was a delivery attempt. Clicked the link to redirect/retry delivery and only when it asked me for my banking details it hit me- what the hell was the postman doing at 5am trying to deliver packages?

anybody can get scammed, hell, the famous “i troll scammers” youtube guy once fell for a scam and nearly lost his youtube account! Getting cocky is the worst you can do

aeki ,

I like that Cory Doctorow is pretty open about having been scammed despite being quite well informed, because it really can happen to anyone. It just takes the right convergence of factors.

yes other hominins or maybe fear is the standard response to something u are completely unprepared for evolutionary.

Well the electric lighting is a nice addition

Not sure if you are goofin’, but that is a Tony Hawk level.

soggy_kitty ,

No, I just read the caption and it’s clearly from unreal tournament

lauha ,

Definitely Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2

Cognitive_Dissident , in gotta wonder why the aliens would build these rooms

Probably just an afterlife man-cave for the Pharoah

Mr_Dr_Oink , in gotta wonder why the aliens would build these rooms

And it was a proper Warehouse successor, too.

My two favorite maps.

PiJiNWiNg , in Rishi Sunak announcing national service plans

I know they havent said what the punishments would be for non-compliance (Fines? Witholding of public services?), but without jail time attached to it, that just tells me the rich folks are gonna pay their way out (as usual), and those without the means are stuck getting totally-not-drafted.

lolcatnip ,

Mandatory service that you can pay to get out of is literally just enslavement of poor people.

Trying to break that million point grind.

Damn, that was 25 years ago.

Back 4 million years the whole world really was a planet of the apes. So in some ways recognising something that wasn’t your species, but looked like it might have avoided conflict, loss of territory, loss of food…

MadBob , in gotta wonder why the aliens would build these rooms

Seemed a lot bigger when I was 8.

I think there are two areas missing in this picture so that’s probably a contributing factor.
