I’m so glad I’m not missing out on a slightly larger margin.

The speed of a sheep, the voracious appetite of a lion for my money.

You can see the quality difference right?

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not at my phone without zooming in. 🤷‍♂️

[–] Mango@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Okay don't take this as an insult, but you gotta get glasses or update your glasses or something. Either that or your phone screen is really bad.

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 18 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

You’re just jealous of my superior anti aliasing brain skills.

If you wanna be even wider eyed, consider that trump 'tariffs' are a great way to extort other counties, they'll all pay that extortion fee directly to donald trump to avoid the tariffs. He will leave the white house a trillionaire in 4 years and nothing can stop it.

I hope for an artery to clog while he forms his signature little O mouth together with accordion hands, and eyes-crossed falls over mouth frothing to be never seen again. The end.

This comic is several decades old by now. This means her daughter is now all grown up and voting Trump now.

[–] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

She's reading a book as a child, likely went to college and voted Harris/Walz like a good non-nazi citizen

I'm trying to cope

This reminds me of the boy who cried wolf. Eventually the boy cries wolf too many times, townspeople stop listening to the boy, and stop responding to the cries.

The way we tell it, though, is that the boy is falsely crying wolf each time. And the townspeople eventually learn their lesson and stop responding.

One hypothetical that I always think about is what if the boy is correct each time, and there really is a wolf every time? Well, I think the townspeople would eventually grow numb to the cries and stop responding anyway, and kinda leave the boy to fend for himself because they're sick of helping him. We'd see the same result even if the boy did nothing wrong.

Trump could shoot someone on 5th avenue, eat their corpse, shit himself, murder a puppy with his bare hands while screaming ALLAH AKBAR and STILL mother fuckers would vote for him just for lower egg prices

We are the dumbest fucking country on the planet

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And egg prices will still go up.

Catastrophicly so.

The choice was between a very selective sheep herder and a very nonselective sheep eater. Not wanting to watch some of the sheep get all the good stuff, they decided on the sheep eater. While being exceptionally cruel to them, this one is also being exceptionally cruel towards the sheep favoured by the herder, so in their perspective, not much was lost.

150 million sheep would beg to differ

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

Only they see themselves as wolves, which would explain why they call the others sheeple

[–] RagingHungryPanda@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago

We only had 67% voter turnout, so that'd be about 112 million

I told you not to vote for the Sheep-Eating Wolves Party!

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 5 points 1 week ago

Don't blame me, I voted for the sheep-eating-coyote!

The time to post this was a week ago.

This is definitely a repost.

Lol, you're complaining, when all memes were much worse in visual quality not that long ago.

Back in my day, we had to hand-draw our memes in the back of school textbooks, then wait until next time we had a lesson in there to see if anyone had seen it.

Workers for capitalism

Like the emperors new cloths was suppose to be a stop gaurd against someone like trump. Nope. The only fairy tales we subscribe to are bible^tm^ and they need to be predigested by a guy who touches little boys.

Sad thing is, the person who read me the emperors new clothes is the one gobbling his knob.

Wisdom is probably a very real feature of society we need and depend on. I think with the suddenness of all the technological advancement the wisdom we needed to have in place just wasn't there.

It's almost like the reason there isn't any visitors in a universe filled with life is knowledge cannot advance as fast as intelligence.

Nicely done
