Yeah, my hot take here is that the church wanted an American pope to be able to clap back at Trump, and try to sway some of his religious supporters.

Trump 2 changed the calculus

Pope Francis was from S. America, so technically this is not the first American pope.

Quick question: what is the demonym (a word used to identify people who are from a particular place) of the people from the USA?

US-American, often abbreviated to just American.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 10 months ago

American. Or if we're being a little silly 'Murican.

In the opposite way that when saying Asians no one thinks of Russians, no one thinks of Chileans when you say Americans.

Here in Murica the colloquial meaning of an unqualified "America" is "the United States of America" its just the way we speak Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

The big ol' typo in this meme makes it work even better.

I'm starting to think we live in a Neal Breen movie.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

No... no... NOOOOOO!!!! IT MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE!!!!!

If you have 2 hours that you just really fucking hate and want them to suffer, watch β€œFateful Findings” on Youtube. Someone uploaded it and since Neal Breen publishes and distributes all his own movies, Youtube doesn’t scan for them as copywritten.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Update: I watched it. This shit is up there with The Room. Distractingly awful.

That ending. I would have thought the President of Bank could have come up with an original way to off himself.

And why did Neil have to say every line twice? Why did he have to say each line twice?

They're fine, along with my title-less identical books

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Homie. He doesn't make movies. He makes ART!!!

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 3 points 10 months ago

Don't watch it alone, it's actually mentally exhausting. I managed two alone, no more. Watch it with at least one other person so you can snark it as you watch. Fateful Findings was probably the worst. If you're not brave enough to face them alone, Kurtis Conner and Space Ice have snarks of the full films.

Also his films do get taken off YouTube for copyright. Internet archive has the full collection though.

An American pope? In this economy?

[–] socsa@piefed.social 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It worked in Blazing Saddles 🀷

[–] HakunaHafada@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

Dank reference. 🫢

Oh fun, I look forward to American gun insanity getting mixed into the Catholicism.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Priests and Nuns do have great kit for concealed carry.

[–] Absaroka@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure the new pope is honored to have CitiesByDiana congratulating him.

Conclvave sounds like something you see a doctor about after a week locked in a room with hookers and blow.

It's real, this is a meme Instagram account.

Real but satirical? I'm okay with that.

I wonder if he’s going to turn himself into a sandworm.
