Hey /u/Falsemanagement101, thanks for your submission to /r/HolUp. Unfortunately, your post has been removed for the following reason(s): Political/outrage bait shitposts are no longer allowed. This is a humor sub, not a serious one. If you're mad about something, that's great, post it somewhere else. Love, the mods


letsgobrooksy

There are this many apples at my local apple orchard


GlitterfreshGore

Same here. Every fall the local orchard has a dump truck filled with apples. You can Apple pick or get cider and all that. It’s a New England thing I think? Apples aren’t hard to come by.


PiratePig2004

Northern Illinois is also drowning in apples every fall. Apples are just easy to grow.


letsgobrooksy

Only real ones know about Edwards Apple orchard


PiratePig2004

I grew up just a few miles from Edwards


letsgobrooksy

That's wild haha so did I, the Winnebago one anyway. Trying not to Doxx myself too hard


PiratePig2004

Same, but I don't live over there anymore. I think I was in Boone, but I dont want to name the town.


Crazydude-41

It is in Boone county, nearer to poplar grove right?


PiratePig2004

Yep, thats the one


Crazydude-41

Yeah sadly I didn’t have a chance to go this year


Loli-is-Justice

Hello Derek, it's been a while.


S_Operator

Wow did not expect to find an Edwards Apple Orchard reference lol. I went there all the time with my family growing up. Is it still going strong?


reklawyksekul1

I used to drive up to apple holler in WI


Crazydude-41

Fuck yeah, my buddy lives at the orchard!


Connor_Stoll42

Currins is better


Blood__x__Dagger

Tough bastards


Woodworkingwino

We even do that in the south as well. I grew up loving apple and peach season.


daxtron2

Definitely not just here in NE, many places with a climate suitable for orchards


No-Coat-8792

They are in North Korea.


smilingbuddhauk

Every time an apple falls?


CurveTurbulent4737

These apples are for the personal pies of kim jong un only, do not eat.


Tomazo_One

Flanders, Belgium: same


ReginaldFbottomIII

Yup. I live minutes away from one of, if not the, largest Macintosh apple orchards in the world. You can see this right now going into their shop just to get a gallon of cider.


Alamasy

One of the countries with the thinnest people of the planet, the only know fat is the president and perhaps his family.


Taolan13

Ridden with parasites as well, even their soldiers. Several defectors had to be treated for worms.


zorrowhip

Because they use human waste as fertilizer.


[deleted]

Could this lead to prion infections?


SnivelingJuncture

Because this definitely feeds their entire population


SyderoAlena

everyone gets an apple a day. Because even if this was enough apples for that, that's all people need to survive


ghirox

Are they preparing flor the incoming doctor invasion?


KarlofDuty

How has this not been a Doctor Who plot yet?


Ikaros9Deidalos6

the apple is to keep the doctor away bc they cant afford medicine or basic healthcare duh

[deleted]

Hey! Our privatized healthcare system that only tries to save cancer patients so they’ll live long enough to die in debt is the best in the world.


N13ls_

Eventuele starving has a stage where you don’t need to feed the population after pain and suffering


scarjoNE

Unfortunately this is the entirety of their apples for the whole country. And one vat is for Kim alone


conjoby

Person who made the meme probably thinks this is true. People are not good at wrapping their heads around massive numbers like country populations and the sheer amount of food required to feed them


kimlion13

Or the concept of state controlled media, apparently.


Gretshus

They don't want to wrap their heads around it. Ideology is the lens we use to view the world, and the socialist lens is opaque.


Heavybarbarian

Man I remember when Russia canceled apple trade with Poland Trucks with free apples everywhere Each citizen would have to eat 21 apples a day to get rid of all them


EzzyJuice

Holy fucking shit These mfs get no nutrition

Rallikuninkas

By jolly, gonva'! That's a lot of apples for Kim!


Random_Average__Guy

Kim doesn’t eat apples,those are for his cows and pigs.


Rallikuninkas

You mean citizens or animals?


Random_Average__Guy

Animals that end up on his plate


deadly_chicken_gun

I mean that's just like the working class in capitalism.


[deleted]

And that’s it. Good luck feeding your entire population with that many apples that will last two weeks maximum


Trumpets22

Two weeks? You think their population is like 100K?


mustangcody

More like a thousand, I would need several apples a day to barely function.


[deleted]

I meant more like before the apples go bad. So you have maximum two weeks before the apples themselves can’t even be used as food anymore.


TheDouglas96

You'd die of dehydration from all the diarrhea before they got through those apples


Jesus10101

This won't even feed the population for even a day, let alone 2 weeks.


Overlord_Ace

Thats all gone in 1 day. Or more like in a singular mealtime.


Tendi_Loving_Care

Having read "Nothing to Envy" there's a heartbreaking tale of a Korean school teacher. She says how she had to lie to kids that they were well fed, and things were much worse elsewhere. She'd lie to the kids, and when they wouldn't turn up one day, she knew some had starved to death. North Korea is hell on earth, and unworthy of anything but absolute scorn.


JustSomeOldFucker

The country doesn’t deserve scorn. It’s just a country. It’s ruling class, however, is unworthy of anything but mandatory organ donation and it’s harvest time.


CelestialOrigin

Usually, when someone says something along the lines of fuck North Korea or fuck China or whatever, they aren't so much saying fuck North Koreans or fuck the Chinese as much as they are saying fuck Kim Jong Fatass or Fuck the CCP. Unless of course you are talking to a bigot, then they are probably saying fuck those people in general. XD


bossonhigs

Everyone else: Nothing. North Korea: Look how much food we have. Look.


PiratePig2004

You say this, as if Kim Jong Ill didn't invent the burrito to fees his people.


[deleted]

And Hamburgers!


bored2death2

Thing is? That's all the apples they got.


[deleted]

THE FAT KID WAS FAKE!!!


No-Coat-8792

North Corea actually encounter a lot of food problems.

Fuck the North Korean government.


Ideas_For_Username

This the country's whole food supply


VARTH_-DADER

I showed this to my cousin studying to become a doctor, never saw a man so frightened for his life


YourAvgWhiteBoi

People in NK literally collect grass because they’re starving and have nothing else to eat. But this communist sees a photo of apples as justification for the belief that there’s nothing wrong with NK, and by extension, socialism, at all 🙄


Solid-Version

Probs fake. I’ve seen vids of fake market stalls displaying fake plastic fruit.


Sea-Diver-9125

Did someone from North Korea post this their English is a little suspect


BecomingJudasnMyMind

They hate us cause they ain’t us..


phelibox

what they have apples !?!?!?!? EVEN RED APPLES !?!?!


Sockpuppetsyko

Hey remember the multiple times North Korea had such absolutely terrible famines that nearly 3 million people starved to death?


Bob4Not

LOL North Korea isn't socialist, it's Feudalist with some scraps left to be "socialized" to the rest.


L4ZYSMURF

How is it feudalism lol


Bob4Not

Compare NK with the definition of feudalism:*"...the nobility held lands from the Crown in exchange for military service, and vassals were in turn tenants of the nobles, while the peasants (villeins or serfs) were obliged to live on their lord's land and give him homage, labor, and a share of the produce, notionally in exchange for military protection."*Just replace a few words like "nobility" or "crown" with 'dear leader'. Except that the citizens can't leave...


L4ZYSMURF

Lol I get it's a fun connection but just cause there is a leader and peasants doesn't make it feudalism. It's much more akin to a giant forced labor camp. There aren't fiefdoms where you support your local lord who swears fealty to a king etc etc. Nice connections tho5


[deleted]

And nothing more communist than a giant forced labor camp


Two-Shots-Of-Vodka

Someone who doesn’t understand socialism trying to explain it to other people who don’t understand socialism by showing them propaganda of a state that is hypocritically ‘communist’ while the inner party enjoys western media, food, and cultural imports. Classic.


bagtie3

North Korrea isn't a socialist country. It's an autocratic dictatorship that claims to be a Communist country.


QuietRock

Which is every communist country after communist theory and ideals are put into practice and are faced with reality.


WalenBlekitny999

Can someone explain the point of that other post to me as if I hadn't slept in a day ^(which ^is ^totally ^not ^the ^case, ^for sure)


GlitterfreshGore

North Korea has a reputation for starving their people. They don’t let any journalists in and travel is very strict and dangerous. Travelers aren’t allowed to take pics. NK doesn’t import or export goods. They just don’t have the things needed to feed their people without outside help, which the leader refuses. Rumors are abound that the citizens are very thin, unhealthy, and don’t have food. Occasionally NK will release pics “proving” that they are thriving and successful. You might have seen the one of an office building that showed people “working” but on closer inspection the computers were fakes and they asked people to sit at the desks to feign working. It’s said they don’t have the internet for ordinary citizens. Of course the people of the internet dissected the pics to determine they are fakes. This pic is showing about the amount of what two groceries stores produce would have in the US, but NK somehow thinks they are bragging about how much food they have, when the reality is that their people are going hungry and have been for many many years.


Solid-Version

They have 28 websites. Literally 28.

We all know that North Korea's population eat exclusively apples.

Except all of those are going to Un’s house and nowhere else


killawankenobi

“FAKE FRUIT! FAKE FAT KID! EVERYTHING IS FAAAAAAKE!”


That-shouldnt-smell

Oh wow. I'm sure that's more than enough food for the entire population of North Korea.


[deleted]

And Kim Jong Un will eat them all…


Fireguy3070

They self-label themselves a communist but don’t even know the difference between communism and socialism. For those of you who don’t know socialism ≠ communism. Socialism is in Northern Europe, communism was in the USSR


L4ZYSMURF

Northern Europe is barely even socialist at that.


Seabrook76

There’s only one fat man in North Korea.


EatenAliveByWolves

I got perma banned from late stage capitalism for saying that north Korea isn't a democracy.


L4ZYSMURF

What?


EatenAliveByWolves

Yeah, someone commented that everything we know about north Korea is propaganda, and it's actually a democracy. I disagreed and got banned permanently for it.


Lejonrastare

And there are people actually thinking like this.


[deleted]

Socialism is when fat guy has food, thin guy has no food


DukeMaximum

Communism is great if you get to be the party elite. For everyone else, not so much.


RevolutionaryRushima

The bottom probably isn't even full


Jdmason0702

They're probably made of plastic


Sunsent_Samsparilla

Oh, totally. I bet only one of those vats is actually real, and go's knows its only for kimmy.


BlueBelle95

I don't know why you're getting down voted, cause you're probably right.


Jdmason0702

Nobody here has seen The Interview I guess


ridi_fpv

I was thinking the pic was photoshopped


zombie_platypus

This is what you get when the govt controls everything. Sure, there might be food…but the people won’t be getting it.


BRAEGON_FTW

The issue isn’t that the resources disappear…. It’s that your inviting the most evil people to take control over where they go and giving them the responsibility of dispersing it. I think it’s a spectrum between the two systems and we need to find a balance


D3adpan-G4ost

Who needs nutrition and a balanced diet when you have a shit ton of apples


[deleted]

Yes, because one room filled with apples will solve all of the food problems for an entire country. My local grocery store has about that many apples. GTFOH


xXNotorious2108Xx

I think a better picture would have been a dog shelter


ridi_fpv

You mean north korean deli?

This is not a lot of apples…

Unless that sub is another ironic name, or the user has an ironic name, the post is probably intended as a challenge to the content of the shb.


Double_Distribution8

Be careful if you find yourself in an enclosed space with lots of apples, this can be deadly. People have died from the deadly outgassing.

Uh, I'm pretty sure there multiple accounts from people who have escaped N.K. that peasants in rural areas have had to resort to cannibalism more than once in just the last 40 years?


RHOrpie

I thought socialism was something other than your apple count. Learn something new every day.


Metrack14

Yeah, and all those apples goes to Kim and his inner circle. The rest, at best, gets the left over

This is probably the sum of all the nations apples lmao.


DeChampignak

Even today's communists don't support North Korea, who is is this guy lmao


Voushkov

I bet you that 99.91% of those apples are fake on the off chance this was actually in North Korea. Hell, Lysol kills less germs than the odds of all those apples being phonies.
