Life is a joke, death is the punch line.
Anyone care to explain for the non Americans?
It wasn’t even in America lol, it was in Guyana
Jonestown, was a remote settlement in Guyana established by the Peoples Temple, an American religious cult under the leadership of Jim Jones.
Wasn’t taught in our history as it was done by Americans. Why do you think the country location matters?
Lots of people died via suicide/coerced suicide in a cult compound by drinking fruit punch.
If you’ve ever heard the phrase “drinking the Kool-aid” it’s a reference to this incident: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonestown
While use of the phrase dates back to 1968 with the nonfiction book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test,[1] it is strongly associated with the events in Jonestown, Guyana, on November 18, 1978, in which over 900 members of the Peoples Temple movement died. The movement’s leader, Jim Jones, called a mass meeting at the Jonestown pavilion after the murder of U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan and others in nearby Port Kaituma. Jones proposed “revolutionary suicide” by way of ingesting a powdered drink mix made from Flavor Aid, later misidentified as Kool-Aid, that was lethally laced with cyanide and other drugs.[2][3]
And why would it say the punch line is too long? Is it a fruit punch flavor joke or smt?
Also: this punch line is quite short, which disproves its own statement (yes, I’m fun at parties).
With more than 900 people in it, the punch line must have been horrible.
Man imagine waiting in line for your suicide…
Man I would be so impatient and shifty. Like c’mon, let’s get a move on, we don’t have all day!
The line to get punch is too long
My partner had a great Aunt who actually died at the Jonestown thing.
Pretty sick
HAH
