"I need the kind of genitals Hitler had" is funnier and therefore I choose to believe my misread version is reality, quote a rat demon scrotum.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 8 points 1 day ago

Apparently pumpkins can get big enough to become president.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 13 points 1 day ago

Hitler's generals were so afraid of him that they didn't even tell him about the D-Day landings for several hours because they didn't want to wake him up.

“Get me dudes like those guys that lost THE war”

[–] TallonMetroid@lemmy.world 43 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe he's more enamored with the whole "too incompetent to successfully assassinate him" part.

[–] KeithD@lemmy.nz 16 points 2 days ago

And the rest of us can anticipate the "but still tried" part.

[–] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 22 points 2 days ago

Western media did a lot of nazi propaganda, from portraying them as more competent, disciplined, and technologically advanced than the allies to the "clean wehrmacht" to asiatic hordes myths.

Its not shocking that the dipshit-in-chief would buy into it.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

The last world war or just the last war?

The dude who lost the last war was HIM.

The dude who lost wars before him was Dubya.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 70 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

What contrast? The topic is bloated, brainless orange things.

[–] axus@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Same lmao, and it didn't even seem out of place

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"No one knows how big genitals can get "

[–] EdgeOfDistraction@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I know. But I ain't tellin'...

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

That's ok, you can show me later

[–] DisasterTransport@startrek.website 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Really donald. Mr president. You want generals who are more like the ones who lost. you want losers? If the shoe fits, I guess.

i wonder how many Germans felt similar to howni feel, which is that the crimes against humanity are injurious but the incompetence is just insulting.

Like its bad enough that our civil rights are being taken out from under us, the death camps are horrifying, and the political malpractice is infuriating. But the fact that we're all letting people who are this stupid do all these things inflicts a level of psychic damage I can't properly articulate.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago

Arguably the reason Germany lost was that it had too many enemies simultaniously not that its military leadership was bad. In fact quute a few Generals and Admirals of Nazi-Germany were outright geniuses. But even with the best leadership you can't win a war that is simply overwhelming. Also the political decisions to make enemies left right and center is what got Germany in that position. Quute similarily to what is happening in the USA right now.

Pumpkins can vary significantly in size, but giant pumpkins typically weigh from 68 kilograms (150 lb) to over 910 kilograms (2,010 lb), with some record-breaking specimens reaching weights of over 1,278.8 kg (2,819.3 lb).

What a liar!

[–] decolo@piefed.social 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

But is that a real biological limit, or can we create an even more nightmarish monstrosity??

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah so we can do fun things to weed with indoor growing by controlling the temperature, the times and color the light is on, ect ect ect. What if we optimized it that way, and then pumped it full of Plant Growth Hormone?

I wonder what growing the pumpkin in a space station would do, the fruit wouldn't have to be able to support its own weight at that point

[–] Keilik@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

With these massive pumpkins (I live in farm country and we need hobbies too) the single plant takes up pretty much the whole field, and more problematically, drinks somewhere around 200 gallons of water a day once they get big. So it’s more a logistics problem really.

If I could ever justify throwing a couple grand (I can’t and won’t) I’d love to try growing one hydroponically with a swimming pool as a reservoir.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

1700 pounds and the green is all part of the same plant that supports the pumpkin:

[–] 5ha99y@lemmus.org 2 points 1 day ago

So we actually do not know, if we include exotic conditionsXD But doesn't that count for many fruits?

[–] starik@lemmy.today 9 points 2 days ago

We’re going to need a bigger space station.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 2 points 1 day ago

Or floating in a pool

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

How big are they in volume?

A ton of water is just one cubic meter, so I suppose it's still not big enough to make a jack-o'lantern house.

(Which just so happens to be my only interest in large pumpkins)

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I know. But I ain't tellin'...

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hmm... Pumpkins are orange and have no intelligence...

Trump is also orange and has no intelligence...

Is Trump just a big pumpkin? 🤔

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

You can cook and eat pumpkin seeds without getting in trouble with the law or prion disease

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's not wrong. I think we'd all love to see trump put a round or two into his own head, trapped like a rat in a bunker.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

If he said that was his plan I think more people would be onboard with the ballroom.

[–] prex@aussie.zone 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, he does like to pump kin.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wish we had those guys too, they turned on Hitler

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Quick someone figure out what the tables in the white house are made of

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago

Orphan bones?

[–] Emi@ani.social 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That got me thinking, could pumpkins get even bigger in low G? If for instance there were sheltered greenhouse on the moon once we have colonies there.

[–] tempest@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago

So social media has been feeding me shorts of a woman who grows giant vegetables. To compete they can't break and there are a bunch of spots where if they grow too fast they get thin and split under their own weight.

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Grow one so big you could live in a pumpkin shell like Peter the Pumpkin Eater's wife!

[–] Wirlocke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Love that it's in the "Health" category.

[–] mult@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Incompetent and methed up?
