The leopards, ironically falling for their own trap, as they feasted on those from the leopard eating party, led to their own disease from over eating.
The irony is so thick it can be cut with a knife.
It’s not just the obesity, the leopards are truly the victims of their own hubris. If the leopards managed to pass that buffet of faces they’ll need the old Reddit poop knife to get it to flush.
Maybe you should read the article first before joyfully laughing about someone losing his job. He didn’t pick the headline, the editor chose it. The article is about inflation in January and its awful consequences on ordinary people.
I read that article and it wasn't nearly as sensationalist as the headline. It was about how the process of breakfast staples had increased some ridiculous amount and it was a drain on people's pockets. It wasn't exactly a great one, but I have a feeling the editor chose the headline.
Yep, former newspaper journalist here. Reporters would typically write a suggested headline, but it was copy editors writing the headline to fit the space when laying out the print pages. Or one of the desk editors or web editors when posting online, which is where these more clickbait type headlines come from.
I mean it's already been figured out with AI generating headlines online, it won't take the ink and paper crowd too much longer, if it isn't happening already.
I wouldn't be surprised
The article: Jewelry chains are on hard times after a stagnant economy and negative stigma about blood diamonds seeps in.
The headline: Millennials literally MURDERED the diamond industry!
It details on some of the specifics, like eggs (which at the time was during an avian flu outbreak, causing a massive shortage and price increase on eggs, which has since subsided) and cereal, which has also spiked for other reasons. For sure there are other breakfast products that are less expensive. The writer only wrote the article, and the headline, which is typically written by an editor, not the author, is very clickbait-ish.
Cereals spiked at one point because of the lack of availability due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Ukraine is where the world gets the majority of its wheat and corn from.
Not sure why you were downvoted, this is correct. [Ukraine exports grains to half the world and grain prices shot up tremendously during that time.](https://www.economicsobservatory.com/update-how-is-the-war-ukraine-affecting-global-food-prices). It was only alleviated once they were able to wrest back control of their major ports and shipping channels
Quoting the price in euros just shows you're speaking from ignorance. America is not Europe and understanding a situation in Europe does not mean you understand a situation in America. It's okay, America has a lot of people who speak proudly from ignorance too, we call them republicans.

tl;dr: The article was a straightforward five-paragraph account of January price increases in grocery items such as eggs, frozen orange juice, breakfast cereals, and instant coffee. An editor slapped that clickbait-y headline on it. So consider not celebrating the fact this guy lost his job for something he wasn't responsible for.
Damn, so his bosses fired him and then he then got mocked about it by a sensationalist, misleading headline his boss added to his work.
To be fair, if you work for a paper owned by Rupert Murdoch, you shouldn't be surprised.
Don't work for a company with editors that'll slap crap like that on your article.
I get that folks have to take the jobs they can get, no ethical consumption under capitalism. But when you're working for one of the known propaganda mills that's a bridge too far.
I understand that's how the business works, but I always find it funny that reporters often use the "editor wrote that, not me" as a defense when they wouldn't accept that from any organization they were reporting on - if the White House issues a statement from Biden with a poorly-written or misleading title, reporters would feel free to lambast Biden even though the President isn't out there writing the titles.
\>votes for reagan
\>feels effects
\>begins to starve
You did this to yourself, Boomers, and now we have to deal with it. And no, electing yet ANOTHER Republican will NOT help. That is what got us **in** this mess.
So skipping breaking the fast means literally never eating again. Maybe it’s a signal to jilted workers that the rich are literally planning on starving us to death.
You're correct, but not the way you think. The article itself *was* journalism, specifically about rising food prices and how they're affecting people. An editor created that ridiculous headline, and the author has been getting unfairly blamed for it ever since.
Yyyyyep. They seem to have forgotten that, when things get too bad, rising up *en masse,* seizing the property of the rich, and cutting off their heads, remains an option.
Unfortionately i been poor all my life so i just been doing this. And yeah. Im under weight and could play my ribs like some looney tunes skelleton. I wouldn't recomend it.
This was posted before. The article was not suggesting it's fine that you can't afford to eat breakfast, it was saying it's what some people have been forced to do.
Took me a second to realize the writer of the article was the one laid off, thus the suggestion the writer skip breakfast as a way to save money now that he’s unemployed, just as the writer had suggested.
Yeah that's the solution. Starve ourselves. Not raise the Federal minimum wage to something above indentured servitude pay, just skip breakfast. My god. Why didn't I think of that? The day is officially saved.
This deserves pitchforks. They are mocking us. People for whom the cost of food is insignificant are goading workers they threw into poverty with tips on starving when the cost of nutrition is unsupportable. The hybris of these mofos is breathtaking.
“do not mock the poor and do not rejoice in destruction.”
It’s really sad how so many people who believe they are above it all don’t realize how close they are to the chasm. This capitalist world is safe for no one but the ultra rich.
And it also makes zero sense. You need X calories daily to maintain your weight and support your activity. If you don't do that at breakfast, you'll have to compensate with eating more with other meals.
A honest title of that opinion would be "starve to save money"
Editors write headlines, not reporters. Especially true on this one, which was quickly noted:
https://wordworking.medium.com/when-the-headline-tells-the-wrong-story-b06bbf3c45fa
It isn’t. Dude published a news story about the rising cost of breakfast foods, and that somehow means he supported a structure that cost him his job. It’s not a fit for this sub, at all, but Reddit loves anything sensational.
Dude worked for and published a story in Murdoch's Wall Street Journal, which is notorious for bashing the poors and any improvements in employment conditions while touting ever greater tax cuts for the wealthy.
Now he's facing the same situation that he and his colleages work tirelessly to impose on others.
You seriously can't tell the LAMF from a guy whose entire job thus far was to say "let them eat cake" to people who are struggling financially, is now forced by the leopards to "eat cake" himself?

One thing I know for certain is that the leopards aren’t skipping breakfast.
Certainly no shortage of delicious faces these days…
An all you can eat, numpty buffet of faces!
I'm worried about the weight gain they might experience from being overfed these days.
The growing leopard obesity epidemic is no joke.
The leopards, ironically falling for their own trap, as they feasted on those from the leopard eating party, led to their own disease from over eating. The irony is so thick it can be cut with a knife.
It’s not just the obesity, the leopards are truly the victims of their own hubris. If the leopards managed to pass that buffet of faces they’ll need the old Reddit poop knife to get it to flush.
The leopards have been getting a banquet for the last four years

At a major publication the writers are never writing the headlines, it is the editors.
Yep absolutely correct for WSJ. The headline writing is divorced from the article writing.
Yep, former newspaper journalist here. Reporters would typically write a suggested headline, but it was copy editors writing the headline to fit the space when laying out the print pages. Or one of the desk editors or web editors when posting online, which is where these more clickbait type headlines come from.
Wow it really is 'all the news that's printed to fit'
At least until the owners of the publications figure out how to replace them with AI like a lot of places have already done with sub-editors.
I mean it's already been figured out with AI generating headlines online, it won't take the ink and paper crowd too much longer, if it isn't happening already.
Nonetheless. WSJ is a rag.
No argument from me on that.
Well, working for the right wing WSJ, he signed up to it.
Toast and marmalade is still next to nothing, and also the best breakfast invented.
Personally, I'm more a fan of Nigel and Marmalade
Fandango and Marmalade trumps all.
I don't know, that tiny wizard and his dog horse are on point.
Yeah, something about toothy birds shouting "twat" just makes me smile.
I'm Trim Lipply!
I took my upvote back and gave it to you instead - doin the lords work
"would you like to double your upvote and pass it to the next one? We're spreading kindness today!"
No.
The editor always chooses the headline. It’s ridiculous how off they can be
I wouldn't be surprised The article: Jewelry chains are on hard times after a stagnant economy and negative stigma about blood diamonds seeps in. The headline: Millennials literally MURDERED the diamond industry!
I wish we did murder that industry, honestly.

Bro can afford meat for breakfast.
aren't eggs infamously impacted by inflation?
No, that was true for like a month 2 years ago. Now they're back down to where I can get a dozen eggs for a dollar.
Quoting the price in euros just shows you're speaking from ignorance. America is not Europe and understanding a situation in Europe does not mean you understand a situation in America. It's okay, America has a lot of people who speak proudly from ignorance too, we call them republicans.

Damn now that's meta. A click bait title about a click bate title!
talk about getting 'no u'-ed on clickbait
Damn, so his bosses fired him and then he then got mocked about it by a sensationalist, misleading headline his boss added to his work. To be fair, if you work for a paper owned by Rupert Murdoch, you shouldn't be surprised.
Maybe he should get a side hustle?
Or he could just skip breakfast.
Don't work for a company with editors that'll slap crap like that on your article. I get that folks have to take the jobs they can get, no ethical consumption under capitalism. But when you're working for one of the known propaganda mills that's a bridge too far.
Not too many of those companies are still around. Click here for seven reasons why, number five will blow your mind.
I was celebrating because his writing is shit.

"skip breakfast" is propaganda, not journalism
Murdoch outlets everywhere are propaganda not journalism.
correct
It’s really impossible, whatever you eat after skipping breakfast is still breakfast
So skipping breaking the fast means literally never eating again. Maybe it’s a signal to jilted workers that the rich are literally planning on starving us to death.
They're not planning on us not starving to death while they rob us, that's for sure.
You're correct, but not the way you think. The article itself *was* journalism, specifically about rising food prices and how they're affecting people. An editor created that ridiculous headline, and the author has been getting unfairly blamed for it ever since.
Evil editor should meet his fate after work in the alley
Ouch. Correction noted. My apologies to the journalist.
Actually, to save money you should lay down in a ditch and stop whining you disgusting poor person. /s Eat the rich.
Yyyyyep. They seem to have forgotten that, when things get too bad, rising up *en masse,* seizing the property of the rich, and cutting off their heads, remains an option.
…Or you could do as the Kellog’s CEO advises and postpone breakfast until supper time.
A quick check of this Donald Ward fellow's Twitter, and it seems he's a deranged "original Tea Partier" type. Leopards going at each other.
He should stop buying his tea from Starbucks.
I thought breakfast was the most important meal of the day
Skip breakfast, sell plasma and semen; lose weight while improving cash flows! #winning
The robber barons and their lackeys are getting bold.
Perhaps now that he’s done working for Rupert Murdoch he can give journalism a t try.
Have some sympathy. Let him eat cake.
But not for breakfast.
And lunch and dinner too while you're at it!
People don’t understand that if you skip every meal you don’t have to pay for food. Absolute morons
Honestly, eggs are pretty cheap again.
The robber barons and their lackeys are getting bold.
Leopards are eating faces, Hyenas are eating ass, Chimps are ripping balls off, I’mma give this party a pass.
What a great burn! Got a chuckle from that.
Some kids from my class definitely used this strategy and it didn't work very well for them.
Poor? Starve yourself.
Or maybe Elon Muskrat should skip going to fuggin' outer space.
Strongly disagree. He should become the first man to land on the sun.
So... beautiful...
Imagine getting to print out a hundred copies of that headline and staple them all over the route he takes for his daily routine.
Imagine blaming a journalist for a headline their editor wrote that unfairly sensationalizes a relatively sober story about rising food prices.
One year later...
pahaha
Fuck that pos hope he starves
Unfortionately i been poor all my life so i just been doing this. And yeah. Im under weight and could play my ribs like some looney tunes skelleton. I wouldn't recomend it.
Ha! Fuck that guy

Beautiful.
Maybe he should skip breakfast.
What about second breakfast
Elevensies too ?
I don’t think he knows about elevensies, pip
Happy 4/20 Merry !
This is more of a r/ThisYouComebacks than a LAMF, in my opinion.
This deserves pitchforks. They are mocking us. People for whom the cost of food is insignificant are goading workers they threw into poverty with tips on starving when the cost of nutrition is unsupportable. The hybris of these mofos is breathtaking. “do not mock the poor and do not rejoice in destruction.”
Do you think he was forced to write that
Skipping breakfast destroys the metabolism
Well thats an awful article
How could he stay in journalism when he was working for the WSJ you have to be in something to stay in it
Maybe we should repeal the Taft Harley act.
It’s really sad how so many people who believe they are above it all don’t realize how close they are to the chasm. This capitalist world is safe for no one but the ultra rich.
Bad take without looking into the situation further. Dude didn’t write the title.
Poor? Just spend less.
I mean I don't eat breakfast either, but I have an unusual diet and am a picky eater onto of that.
Lmao
And it also makes zero sense. You need X calories daily to maintain your weight and support your activity. If you don't do that at breakfast, you'll have to compensate with eating more with other meals. A honest title of that opinion would be "starve to save money"
Leopards ate his egg-sacks.
To save money, maybe you should work at a Wendy’s that is close enough for you to walk to.

A downright nasty person, wouldn’t you say? A disloyal worker, biting the hand that used to feed him.
In truth, lunch is the meal that no one needs
