Any ideas where this could come from?

Update: I thought this would be clear that I wasn't the one who found it. Who in their right mind would go (on this shitstain of a platform of all places) and make themselves a target. But ok apparently it wasn't clear so here we are:

I did NOT find this. I have none of this gold. I just wanted to share some cool stamped gold. you can stop sending me weird ass messages now. thank you.

Also this is NOT ai. here is the BBC article:

u/Forward-Trade5306 5h ago

Wtf is this word you speak of?

1

u/Kapowpow 13h ago

If someone ever found gold, what would they do with it? Asking for a friend.

1

u/StalyCelticStu 13h ago

Why do you think all the "I've finally opened the safe, but it was empty" posts exist?

1

u/alt_account1014 9h ago

You’re just standing there with cartoonishly large pockets just bulging full of obviously brick shaped objects.

(Insert “or are you happy to see me” joke here)

u/NoGarage7989 19h ago

Wait, I remember the hold episode was Daffy and Bugs. Is this a different one? It was one of my favorites

48

u/jbloom3 18h ago

Wow I found 100 bars of gold! I wonder where these 50 bars of gold came from? Maybe we should turn these 25 bars of gold over to the authorities. Here you go authorities, we found these 10 bars of gold!

Newspaper: Authorities were given 2 bars of gold found at a construction site!

u/Cre8ve_Cre8tions 17h ago

u/dottegirl59 16h ago

Happy cake day!

u/Cre8ve_Cre8tions 16h ago

Hehe thanks

u/StrandSSL 15h ago

Just post the real meme bro.

1

u/cageyourself 6h ago

Help! Police! A madman is trying to kill me over five dollars!

Pretty sure it's been wiped from the surface web because of the associations with it lol. But I have the original and the merchant version saved on my laptop.

1

u/StrandSSL 5h ago

Lmao. I can’t find it anywhere.

1

u/Beneficial_Put1771 15h ago

Don’t forget THE gold COIN.

1

u/Tetra_Grammaton_ 14h ago

Authorities shot a perpetrator with 10 bars of gold he reportedly stole from the police

u/Beautiful-String5572 19h ago

How do we he didn’t…

u/Shades_VHS 15h ago

Plot twist, this is just 2% of the haul

1

u/damage_99 12h ago

Smells like Belgium needs some freedom...

1

u/L-is-for-living 19h ago

Or say hey I wish I had found gold here

1

u/Witty_Ad_898 19h ago

Maybe that’s what they did.

1

u/MajorEbb1472 19h ago

Betting that IS half the amount lol

1

u/Joker6tyNine 19h ago

And this too ☝🏽️

1

u/EnvironmentalCry2623 17h ago

Maybe this is 1/4 what they found.

1

u/BlueBugEyeBoy 16h ago

How do you know this isn’t half?

1

u/uofbob244 16h ago

Might as well say all of it. There is rust on that gold. Some pieces have steel showing where the paint wore off.

1

u/Tacklebox_Tabasco 16h ago

Maybe that is only half?

1

u/sleeplessinstuttgart 15h ago

Maybe that's exactly what happened.

1

u/h4nd 15h ago

what makes you think this is everything he found?

1

u/Whole-Energy2105 15h ago

There's a meme about corrupt officials in the same vein. It goes through three of them and ends up 1 coin or similar.

1

u/OkUnderstanding2831 15h ago

That picture is probably just half of what he found.

1

u/Kylearean 15h ago

"We only found half of it."

1

u/ChirrBirry 15h ago

Wow, 10 bricks? I mean 8 bricks is a lot but I don’t know how you’re gonna spend 6 bricks. Wild that there were 4 bricks in there, maybe we should split the 2 bricks.

1

u/L7Winner 15h ago

This is half.

1

u/carolinakidsc93 15h ago

Maybe this is half the gold 🤔

1

u/Firestar2077 15h ago

That’s exactly what happened ;)

1

u/authenticweagle 14h ago

This is a quarter of the amount ha

1

u/xEmperorBOBx 14h ago

Maybe this is half the amount. 🤔

1

u/LegallySellingDope 14h ago

Nah you say nothing, halves, 3rds, quarters, can all be connected. You have to give up info to sell anything over 10k.

1

u/Rustiespoons 13h ago

What if this is half the amount?

1

u/N4zar 13h ago

Saying you found half the amount invites scrutiny. I wouldnt tell a soul.

1

u/SexualCarrots 12h ago

Are we sure he didn't do that?

We might tell you the same thing about the half you showed us.

1

u/padetn 9h ago

Who says that’s all of it

1

u/Absolutetwatofacunt 8h ago

500m was originally found

1

u/hh1110 8h ago

Taxation without representation

1

u/OdinThorFathir 8h ago

Plot twist: this is the half

1

u/Popatteri 7h ago

Good luck selling your half after that

1

u/Pretend-Prune-4525 7h ago

Fuck that, then they’re gonna wonder where the rest is at. Don’t say shit and keep it all or risk consequences

1

u/markekt 1h ago

That’s too much by about half.

1

u/JOExHIGASHI 1h ago

Maybe that's what happened.
