Billionaire Mark Zuckerberg’s next passion is cows and beef. And to start with his passion, he has said that he is raising cows on an island in Hawaii by feeding them macadamia nuts and beer. The idea is, according to Zuckerberg, to create best beef in the world. Critics call cattle-raising project on Hawaii ranch ‘a billionaire’s strange sideshow’ and bad for the environment.

    billionaires are forced to waste incredible amounts of energy and resources creating unique experiences for their billionaire asses

      Imagine using such an insane amount of resources on just yourself.

      I’m exposed to some very wealthy people at work and none of them are normal. I feel like money is a drug and greed is addiction and these people are so mentally fargone (in that they can only see the world that’s described by money and think of every human interaction as a transaction or investment) that they are like children who design their own meal plan

      Breakfast: bowl of nerds Lunch: 14 kit kats Dinner: marshmallows

      and then wonder why their feelings have gone haywire and they can’t get no satisfaction.

        very well said

        now add the fact that they all have bunkers, and they believe that they will not suffer the ill effects of economic chaos… this leaves them totally immune to the suffering of others, and that’s exactly how they like it… Mark plans to eat the finest beef in the world on his little island, while the rest of us starve and fight it out over scraps of bread…

      “it tastes better if you uhhh hunted the animal yourself…”

      Is now

      “It tastes better if you uhhh raise the animal on a strict diet which you imagine will somehow marinate the meat while it grows”

      Get a clue, you wierdo.

      Boing boing, the Guardian, Sky News, Fox, NBC, India Today, the Blaze, and the New York Post. This is nottheonion, not serious news. If you don’t care, why the fuck are you here?

        I don’t care about Zuckerberg’s feeble attempts to cosplay as a human whilst using it as PR to try and make himself seem like anything other than the unbelievable monster that he is. I do care that supposed news sites are doing the last part for him.

          Pretty much all of the websites are criticizing him for this. It’s happening and there are people who’d like to know this, so it’s news; soft news is news for better or worse.

    Pretty benign as far as billionaire hobbies go.

    The rest seem to want to run their own private space programs or worse, meddle in politics.

    The fuck is wrong with feeding cows grass?

    Cows eat grass, I’ve seen them do it

    There’s grass everywhere, even in hawaii I think
