I mean, this will keep me away too, and I'm "housed" and even occasionally legitimately go to malls with money to spend on things. You play even one loop of that song and I'm Swayze.

Jokes on them. The homeless loitering are veterans that lost their hearing in the wars we’ve been fighting since 2001.

We can solve homelessness once and for all by making every part of civilization just suck as much as possible. If literally no part of our society is capable of supporting safety and life, then all the homeless people will just move along

Homelessness? Oh, you mean unhousedness! Many of them are also unreadful and non-jobulated.

Ugh how did this super old song become a thing.. I swear people are getting dumber. I hated it when they sang it at summer camp, and I still hate it now.

This was an old camp song when I was a kid

Reminds me of when I briefly worked in an office upstairs from the Seattle Mariners headquarters. Every time I went up or down the stairs I could hear the Mariners theme song playing in their lobby, so presumably they had it looping nonstop. I don't know how that receptionist didn't run screaming from the building by the end of the day.

Just in case people do not fully grasp the amounts of "doo"s in this song:

Baby shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Baby shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Baby shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Baby shark!

Mommy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Mommy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Mommy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Mommy shark!

Daddy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Daddy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Daddy shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Daddy shark!

Grandma shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Grandma shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Grandma shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Grandma shark!

Grandpa shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Grandpa shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Grandpa shark, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Grandpa shark!

Let's go hunt, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Let's go hunt, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Let's go hunt, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Let's go hunt!

Run away, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Run away, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Run away, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Run away!

Safe at last, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Safe at last, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Safe at last, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

Safe at last!

It's the end, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

It's the end, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

It's the end, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo.

It's the end!

I love that song doo doo doo doo doo doo.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 4 points 4 hours ago

The last two verses on repeat are I think my new sound track to the end of times

What's with the wording of this title? "Unhoused people" instead of "Homeless"/"Homeless people"

[–] Blackmist 3 points 2 hours ago

Homeless and "actually sleeps on the streets" are different things.

[–] Famko@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago

A home is an abstract thing, a house is a quantifiable object.

Also it kind of implies that society should provide a house for them.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 18 points 6 hours ago

It's like the difference between calling someone wittless and uneducated.

One implies that's just how the person is, the other implies a failing of society/family.

[–] ziggurat@lemmy.world 20 points 7 hours ago

I like the word unhoused, it implies they should just be housed if they are homeless. Everyone should be housed, even if they don't own a home

[–] bricklove@midwest.social 48 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

What about the people who work there? Are they trying to make them quit then become homeless and leave the mall too?

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 22 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

According to the article, it plays in the emergency exit stairwells, a place that if you're using it you should be trying to leave as quickly as possible.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 38 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

If I was escaping a fire, and the stairwell had baby shark playing, I'd walk back into the fire.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 10 points 5 hours ago

I really don't want to die with Baby Shark being the last song I hear
