Seeing "the Babylon Bee" at the top there made me instantly become a decrepit shell of myself, like playing the scene where Gandalf frees Theoden in reverse

Maybe you'd feel worse if you ungrabbed your sword

yeah, i wish i could appreciate the humor on its own, but i react like a vampire (hissing, turning into bats) when i read the bee

Somehow I don't believe that to be exclusive to male hikers

Sure, but on the other hand the Babylon bee is a bit of a right-wing shitrag. So it's also important to play to your audience and consistently reinforce the fundamental nature of arbitrary gender stereotypes.

99% of female hikers with 1% pretending to be red riding hood instead

All good. I see stuff from there all the time. They are smart enough to do just enough stuff that can appeal to everyone, so that the right wing christian nationalist propaganda they spread gets to be sprinkled in and seems less obvious to casual audiences on facebook.

Even a broken clock something something.

Ewww Babylon bee. They're a cesspit to further rightwing/ trumpism agenda via stupid and shallow jokes. Their sketch about Xitter didn't age well

Based on anecdotal evidence, it's mostly women, and the men are too busy looking for the perfect stick close to the parking lot.

In fairness, everyone needs a good stick.

I have five sticks.

is there a cool stick community? mine looks like a wizard staff. i got it from a costume shop that was going out of business and i couldn't let it not go to a good home. (yes that is a lot of negatives but each one is important)

So dude I'm making a list of comics communities and whoopsie poopsie !stick@sh.itjust.works may have gotten on it for a sec. I will have bandwidth for this in the near future thanks dude.
