Charon transports two souls down the river Styx

That’s what I thought this was literally about. Don’t wait to vacation because you might die. The chauffeur smiling, threw me though.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

The chauffeur has free entertainment for the night.

Oh yeah, I'll just go find thousands of dollars to burn and get to it!

Travel is not accessible to everyone.

Of course assuming they're American. Venice is a couple of hundred quid for a long weekend from the UK.

But £1000 to get the train to the airport

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Airports are for planes, idiot. Of course parking a train there is expensive. Think, McFly!

Why not? Is this not a reasonable place to park?

[–] Ajen@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can take the train all the way to Venice, you don't need to fly.

Yeah, but the Chunnel is stupidly expensive. Pretty sure flying would be cheaper.

Plot twist: neither of them is sleeping

They died doing what they loved.

Getting sun burnt.

Will be pretty easy to dispose of them then

He looks asleep. She, well check her pulse.

[–] AnarchoSnowPlow@midwest.social 26 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They clearly finished under the blanket and passed out.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Good for them, man.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

Finished the pentobarbital?

[–] superweeniehutjrs@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

Pretty good Christmas card, tbh

That’s just the ketamine.

"Youth is wasted on the young"

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I mean I had my kids in my late 20s. Everyone thought I was nuts, but my kids are gonna be off at college before I'm 50. I'll be able to enjoy traveling, etc. When I'm not too old.

Also I love that I'm not gonna be in my 50s raising teenagers

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 month ago

I enjoyed tons of travelling in my 20s until I had kids mid-30s. I was young enough to go backpacking easily, stayed at random peoples places via couchsurfing. I don't see myself doing that at an older age and I am glad I had that time.

There are different ways to look at this.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I did most of my traveling before kid (it helped that a lot was for work so they paid for it).

Trying to travel with kid too though. We only had the one so that helps some.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Late 20s? You had kids LATE man!!! I know people who are grandparents at 31.

[–] archonet@lemy.lol 8 points 1 month ago

Good thing I'll never be able to afford traveling or retiring, then! Ha ha, ha, ha...

[–] ryan_@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I started working with a financial advisor when I was 19 because I don’t want to work until I’m too old to live. FIRE or die trying.
