Pedophile scared of big numbers. Not surprising.

"86" means to get rid of something.

"47" refers to the 47th president, which is trump

But to be clear it's not "kill someone."

"86 the ham" can mean "toss it in the garbage, it's rotten."

Or it can mean "Don't take any orders for ham because we're all out."

Or if you just want toast but it's past breakfast you could order "a ham sandwich on wheat toast, 86 the ham."

When I used to work at restaurants, I only ever heard it in the context of being out of something; I've never heard it used to refer to excluding something from a dish. I wonder if that's regional or generational or something. Interesting.

[–] 42firehawk@fedinsfw.app 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Having worked food service, it means your restaurants didn't get bad ingredients and such - I've had in receiving calls back and forth from the kitchen about what is 86 for now. Usually "salmon warm, 86 salmon" . Which would get a call back about what other stuff is supposed to be thrown out with it. "86 the peas they won't make next shipment."

[–] farmgineer@nord.pub 1 points 2 weeks ago

OK, I should be more specific. From a diner's point of view, we are out of something. Yeah, we had to 86 something because of food quality.

I was confused by OP's Or if you just want toast but it’s past breakfast you could order “a ham sandwich on wheat toast, 86 the ham.” to refer to a way of ordering something without an ingredient; I've never seen this.

The pedo felon wants to ratchet it up to anger and motivate his minions by radicalizing them with emotional images.

Except he's actually the 44th since neither he nor Grover Cleveland were two separate presidents no matter how nonconsecutive they were about it.

He's the 44th person to be president, but they're numbered by consecutive terms to avoid confusion in historical records.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Correct.

they're numbered by consecutive terms to avoid confusion in historical records

Except that's not how counting things and words work.

It would make exactly as much sense to count FDR four times.

Yes, Harry Truman felt the same way, but the people responsible for record keeping decided to do it this way, so we follow their lead.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

First of all, they're not the ones perpetuating it. The same media that's been successfully whitewashing the West's favorite fascist apartheid state until recent years are.

Secondly, that's not a good reason. People in charge of things get things and the framing of things wrong all the time.

Harry Truman felt the same way

Say what you will about his authorizing of at least two of the worst single day war crimes in human history, but when he's right, he's right 😉

You can say "86 44" if you wish, but people will wonder why you hate Obama so much.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If Trump isn't also the 47th President, then who is?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Nobody, since only 44 people have been president, including him.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

Authorities investigate anything but the convicted criminal in the White House.

The individuals that did this deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

Natural progression from "six-seven".

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think 9959 is a nice natural progression from here. Pretty catchy, nice ring to it for a number.

(1312+8647)

[–] Gormadt@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What's the "1312" refer to?

[–] tpyo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

The number of the letter in the alphabet:

ACAB

Which stands for "All Cops Are Bastards"

US authorities focus on owners of dot-matrix printers. And Roundup buyers.

just in case you missed it. A lot fainter, you can see the numbers 6, then on a second "line" is 47. so 86 47 which is a code for impeaching Donald

Those are huge seashells!

Couldn't have been them, we were watching movies together all day.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Kim Jong Un was right all along. What a dotard!
