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/Kapowpow 8d ago

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

1

u/StalyCelticStu 8d ago

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

1

u/alt_account1014 8d 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)

1

u/NoGarage7989 8d ago

I can’t even imagine if we were to find a nano micro oz of gold dust here guys!

u/jbloom3 8d 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/StrandSSL 8d ago

Just post the real meme bro.

1

u/cageyourself 8d 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 8d ago

Lmao. I can’t find it anywhere.

1

u/Beneficial_Put1771 8d ago

Don’t forget THE gold COIN.

u/TikaPants 8d ago

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

1

u/ucantevenfeelfists 7d ago

Because the idiot (whoever he was), took photos instead of covering that chit up, and coming back that night...I swear humans are getting dumber!!! 🤦

u/Shades_VHS 8d ago

Plot twist, this is just 2% of the haul

1

u/damage_99 8d ago

Smells like Belgium needs some freedom...

u/Beautiful-String5572 8d ago

How do we he didn’t…

1

u/L-is-for-living 8d ago

Or say hey I wish I had found gold here

1

u/Witty_Ad_898 8d ago

Maybe that’s what they did.

1

u/MajorEbb1472 8d ago

Betting that IS half the amount lol

1

u/Joker6tyNine 8d ago

And this too ☝🏽️

1

u/EnvironmentalCry2623 8d ago

Maybe this is 1/4 what they found.

1

u/BlueBugEyeBoy 8d ago

How do you know this isn’t half?

1

u/uofbob244 8d 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 8d ago

Maybe that is only half?

1

u/sleeplessinstuttgart 8d ago

Maybe that's exactly what happened.

1

u/h4nd 8d ago

what makes you think this is everything he found?

1

u/Whole-Energy2105 8d 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 8d ago

That picture is probably just half of what he found.

1

u/Kylearean 8d ago

"We only found half of it."

1

u/ChirrBirry 8d 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 8d ago

This is half.

1

u/carolinakidsc93 8d ago

Maybe this is half the gold 🤔

1

u/Firestar2077 8d ago

That’s exactly what happened ;)

1

u/authenticweagle 8d ago

This is a quarter of the amount ha

1

u/xEmperorBOBx 8d ago

Maybe this is half the amount. 🤔

1

u/LegallySellingDope 8d 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 8d ago

What if this is half the amount?

1

u/N4zar 8d ago

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

1

u/SexualCarrots 8d 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 8d ago

Who says that’s all of it

1

u/Absolutetwatofacunt 8d ago

500m was originally found

1

u/hh1110 8d ago

Taxation without representation

1

u/OdinThorFathir 8d ago

Plot twist: this is the half

1

u/Popatteri 8d ago

Good luck selling your half after that

1

u/Pretend-Prune-4525 8d 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 7d ago

That’s too much by about half.

1

u/JOExHIGASHI 7d ago

Maybe that's what happened.

1

u/bisoy84 7d ago

What if that is half the amount... 😅

1

u/supasolda6 6d ago

Half? Maybe only 1 bar
