I'm reasonably sure I'm eating the onion here, but...

I hate how I cannot fucking tell what is an onion anymore or not. Apparently the US is now going to televise executions?!

The most American thing to do now is make it pay-per-view.

The absurdity is kind of the point. To normalize it.

Satire plays off exaggeration and absurdity, but if your goal is to undermine the global status of a country as russia is doing to the USA then the two become the same.

i don't think so. shitting out of his mouth is the only thing he does, he is not going to outsource that

I don't think he's actually even as coherent as his social media feed implies.

The best part is the effort to show it's fake, because a well done one would be very believable.

Fun fact: onions keep better than limes or lemons and have enough vitamin C in a couple slices that navies used them to prevent scurvy. You had to eat it raw though, like we all are doing with this post. If you cook it that destroys the vitamin C.

The officers got citrus. Also a little bit of lime juice in sailors grog too but the lion's share of vitamin C was eating raw veggies like that on voyages.

[–] WhyIHateTheInternet@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

Fair is fair. He's been turning people off for fucking years now
