I could legitimately see this happening, by now. Fox News builds it up for a week, then Trump/Musk make a big spectacle of sending it back and replacing it with a giant statue of Trump.

You can picture it, can't you. The entire thing covered in shitty gold spray paint. My God, it's becoming so clear now...

Edit: Fun fact, Grok wouldn't create the same image featuring Kamala Harris.

Far fewer visionaries emerged in 2020 than those of us with a penchant for puns would have liked 🫤

Fwiw: that you know of

Tacheon particles traveling backwards through (what you perceive as) time are clouding visibility into the near future

Could you set the arm at a slightly lower and rightward angle? Open palm, maybe?

No that’s not right - you gotta lose the torch and make it look like he’s “sending his heart out to the world”

Edit: also, holy censorship, Batman :O that is wild.

replacing it with a giant statue of Trump.

Made of plastic, made in China

They'd probably melt it down instead, just to avoid giving it back.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

A giant dump would also fit to the current timeline.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

They're the same picture.
