And the WWN was the same, good ol’ entertainment.
There was an edition with Nixon in drag that was there worst Photoshop, it was clearly two photos pasted together. Hilarious! My mom thought it was the funniest thing she ever saw. But she never for a second thought it was real.
Woah now. Weekly World News was well-known by everyone as 100% laughable BS. Even people that think the moon landing was fake didn’t buy their stories.
Really, who would ever believe all the things Bat Boy supposedly did? Made Forrest Gump seem lazy.
It’s not like Kirk is big on regulations on the first place…
Cool. Well I replaced Google with a million other things that are objectively better.
Oh…is this just some attention thing to try and get me back? Aww… Sorry, G. Look, G, I’m sorry to tell you over text, but it’s over. It’s been over for years. We broke up so long ago, and it was never going to work out anyway. Please just delete me from your contacts list. It’s better this way.
Accuse? Suggest?
You getting paid by the letter, Joe? The word you’re looking for is “is.”
So the Americans already invaded the Greenland subreddit and cosplayed Canadians?

OK, who had the Polymarket bet on chickening out the instant his Greenland stunt hurt financial markets?
Pretty fucking well seems like it.
Yeeah, the 16er was to Joburg from the States. There’s nowhere to refuel between Ghana and SA, so if was a standard stop both ways.
Before you panic, please check spaceweather.com to see how this is not anything to panic about.
Not the one coming. It’ll just be pretty lights.
An alternate version from the 1960s would show taking 3-5 days on a bus to take that 5 hour flight.
Plus, some of y’all ain’t never taken a 16 hour flight with a refuel stop at hour 12 and it shows.
Ahhh, ok. Makes sense when I read it in that accent.
Yup. I was older, and the central nervous system automatic response of “mitigate harm, go to help” hit very hard.
See? Fake hot takes in the media didn’t start with bots online.
They’re ones who are trained and equipped for arctic warfare.
So that one guy slipping on ice really sent a message, but not protests? Figures.
Except I don’t frequent those subreddits. Sometimes an unknown risky click just finds you through typically not gore-oriented means.
Edit: And I bring up the gore subreddits to illustrate that access to NSFL stuff and tolerance for terrible things online was much higher for a long time.
For example, the video of ol’ Charlie Spurts getting it to the neck was all over Twitter for the first couple of hours after it happened. Link from a news site goes to the video, which was impossible to know what to expect until you see it.
Plus, news sites show or lin to video of war deaths from Ukraine all the time. Video of illegal strikes on fishing boats where people are killed.
Maybe people don’t realize what they’re seeing, but it seems disturbingly common for actual videos of actual deaths to just be regular news stories.
No gate keeping. Shit, they only took the subreddit full of ISIS beheadings and Chinese industrial accidents down when they did their IPO.
FFS, we all saw a woman get murdered 10 days ago from 7 different angles. If anyone genuinely thinks real time fascism is less fucked up than 2G1C, I invite them to get their head unfucked.
Honest question: Genetically, if you were own grandfather, introducing chromosomes from both family lines early, would you end up being just outrageously inbred? Like, inbredinbred ? Or would your grandmother’s chromosomes diffuse the problem?
