This is a Planteray tasting giftbox, six bottles of different rum, five of which are dedicated to a specific bad person, for when I no longer share the planet with them, I printed ribbons on my label maker with the name of the person the bottle is dedicated to.

Interestingly, out of the five bottles I have dedicated, four of them are dedicated to a person with a "u" as the first or only vowel in their surname.

The current dedication goes out to:

Mr. Trump
Mr. Putin
Mr. Musk
Mr. Murdoch
Mr. Orbán

The fifth is as of yet undedicated, but if you have any suggestions, feel free to post them.

The last bottle should be Netanyahu. He's arguably one of the most awful people on earth for the perpetuation of the Palestinian genocide.

And 10cl won't be enough. Well, depending on who succeeds him.

[–] bran_buckler@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

For the last one, it could be like the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, where it represents all bad people currently living. When anyone deemed “bad” passes, you could take a sip.

"The bottle of the unspecified bad guy"

That is a good idea...

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If OP wants to get a taste, Charlie Kirk is recent enough!

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have a hard rule of the dedications needs to be currently alive, it is more fun that way.

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Darn. You were close!

Shit-moths. They started off as tiny, little shit-larva, Randy, and then they grew into shit-apillars. A pandemic of shit-apillards. Everywhere you look, Randy, shit-apillars. They almost drove me over the god damn edge, boy. I tried to exterminate them, I tried to put an end to the shit-apillar's life cycle, but I failed. And now, shit-moths, Randy. Every fucking one of them, shit-moths.

Write that one up for Chief Justice Roberts. He has it too easy IMHO.

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 5 points 2 weeks ago

I can never decided if Thomas or Roberts is worse. Sometimes I think Roberts has some standards, just exceptionally low/evil ones. While Thomas seems completely bought and paid for

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Erdogan or Netanyahu

There's also Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud or his son who's the defacto king of Saudi Arabia or the supreme leader of iran Ali Khomeini

[–] dotslashme@infosec.pub 6 points 2 weeks ago

The unnamed one is my personal favorite

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I'm surprised to not see Xi on one because he's got his own genocide going and is certainly playing the US against Russia while probably propping up the Russian economy. It's an incredible amount of fuckery that rivals a few of the people on the other bottles.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

fifth one should be dedicated to palantir.

[–] Naloxone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Peter Thiel.

[–] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 3 points 2 weeks ago

For that last bottle, If you want to go with your U theme, you could do

  • Duterte
  • Un
  • Bush
  • Lukashenko
[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Murdoch is dying anyway and he made provisions so that his assholery outlives him, so fuck that.

For the other 4 I'll need much more than 10cl of rum each.

I like the concept though.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago

Eh, Murdoch is a true ghoul, I will gladly drink to his death.

As for the ammount of alcohol, I hardly ever drink, 10cl is absolutely enough for the occation.

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 1 points 1 week ago

Everyone is dying my dude, just at different rates.

TFW you get so thirsty you buy a rifle

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Swede here, I can't buy a rifle as I am not part of a hunting society or an active member of a shooting club.

I have been thinking about buying a nice 10J air rifle though, that is far in the future though.

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Air rifles are hella fun - especially for target shooting bottles or cans or those stupid squirrels that raid your bird feeders no matter what defenses you put up.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I hope they age well. Could be a while.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I switched from my collection of cheap champagne bottles that I have had for a few years after people convinced me that champagne does not age well in the bottle, so I decided to get these as I don't believe they have that issue

No Stiggin’s Fancy in that box? Shame.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

Stiggin’s Fancy

I have a few large bottles of other Plantation/Planteray run, including Stiggin's Fancy, I also have several other large bottles of rum from other brands.

Humm, I may need to get a few more small bottles that I could fill with other rum from my collection.

Too bad Angostura does not have a similar giftbox of their rum....

[–] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I love it but with how tight money is my war chest will include the cheapest vodka and the crappiest whiskey and I'll probably drink way more of it because it's plentiful... Common denominator though is that it's coming in less than 10 years for most

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Excellent idea .. one question .. what are you going to do while these people are still alive in order to actually .. be able to celebrate the dedication .. with your sanity in tact .. so you know that it's actually worth celebrating?

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago

I am not an American, it helps a lot.

But in general, unless I am actually focusing on a particularly bad guy, I am able to generalize and focus on myself.

I mean, who else will take these photos if I don't focus on them:

I'm kind of hoping it happens before I can drink again (next March as I'm on meds preventing me)
