just remembered the time i managed to convince some of my american friends into thinking all british electronics and internet were disabled during the mourning period and i was only able to talk because i was using a VPN

Discord screenshot showing a message from me with an edited Sky access blocked webpage saying "Sorry, the website discord.com is not available during the national mourning period."
Another screenshot showing confused replies of people asking if what I just posted was real, one saying "I THOOUGHT THIS WAS A JOKE"

@ipg@wetdry.world but VPNs require Internet? (or at least a usuable network link to the server)

@ipg They might well believe it! I remember seeing a news story of an Irish guy *jailed* in England for "stealing electricity" because he'd plugged in his phone on a train; here it was a normal part of the service, but the judge just put on the black cap and said "Do not pass Go, go straight to jail"

@sinabhfuil Right? It's only about a half step weirder than other things that I have had verified as true about England. And the Mourning was already a half-step weirder than all the other things I had had verified as true about England so it's no stranger than that on its own.

Wow. Wtf.

I wasn't sure other countries had the capability of being more shitty capitalists than the US.

@ipg considering human rights were disabled during mourning periods as well this doesn’t sound too far fetched

@ipg Wait, how did they think you were connecting to the VPN?

@ipg listen when you folks tell us crazy shit about the uk we believe that ok. it'd be like if i said "yeah it's legal here to shoot fireworks at babies as long as at least one party is drunk" like you would probably not even search it

@ipg this feels like it could be true and it would be considered normal

@ipg the scary part about the whole thing is that you can convince people, solely because it is not unthinkable.
