This shit is all too realistic.

Don't worry, everyone. Trump will be in office soon, and everything will get fixed.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Absolutely! He has the best plans. Just ask him what they are.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

The best concepts of plans.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

His plans are war, he says he will empower Israel even more and then as a result warring with Lebanon and Iran, possibly Egypt but maybe not, will spread.

He hasn't outright said the consequences of his actions but it doesn't take a genius to work it out.

He'll magically lower the prices of fire hoses and air tanker pilot training.

more like he will jack up the prices and personally pocket the difference somehow

/s is mandatory, if you need evidence that your take is a commonly held belief then I give you 6,264,244 DNC voters who stayed home and 77,303,573 Trump voters who showed up.

Listen, randomfirstword+randomsecondword, you're gonna have to get a better script from your handler, because shit like this may have worked 6 years ago, but now it's just static.

FiniteBanjo is my actual brandname. Site launches sometime this year.

Ahh, yes, totally verifiable and definitely not a sad sack in a troll farm, right comrade? Mine is from a Gorillaz song, "All Alone" off of Demon Days. Give it a listen, it's my favorite track on a completely stacked LP.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Well if you want the inspiration, then I had this shower thought that a guitar base kind of looks like an infinite symbol and from that you can derive the finite banjo.

Such a banging album.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't tell if it's sarcasm, or if you're super misguided....

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just like the kids in The Goonies fixed the statue of David by gluing the dick back on upside down, so too shall Trump invert the American dingus in acts of corporate interest and capitalistic greed.

What a sentence

Israel is a terrorist state

[–] Mihies@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

It has been for a long time.

America as well

Best way to deal with runaway wildfires is to start runaway explosive fires somewhere else

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

I say we sacrifice some people to the fire lords. People that are in a certain percentage.

[–] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 1 year ago

There has to be some hard limit on how many fires can be happening at the same time, so keep the fires going elsewhere and this one will expire.

Finally, the Gazpacho police have the means to heat up their horrid, cold soup.

The water that accumulates in the bottoms of restaurant dumpsters is gazpacho.
