anyone here have "US DENMARK WAR" on their 2026 bingo card? c'mon at least one of y'all must have it

[-] Zagorath@quokk.au 18 points 3 months ago

If you'd had it on your bingo card at the start of the decade that'd have been a shocker. But after Trump openly suggested the possibility early last year, it's hardly a huge surprise if someone predicted it this year, even if he did quieten down on that front towards the end of the year.

actually "US-EUROPE WAR" is what you want, cause when you fuck with denmark, you're fucking with the EU

I'm not fully convinced they would act. I feel half of them would say "Let's wait for the facts" while the other half would be trying to make a peace deal and work out a way to deploy troops in Denmark after they've given up Greenland.

I would be glad to be proven wrong however.

"Were closely monitoring the situation"

Sadly, I agree.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Please stop reminding me that Cleveland exists

[-] NEILSON_MANDALA@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

cleveland ain't got shit on cincinatti. i really wanna try their spaghetti chili

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

There's something oddly comforting about Cincinnati Chili.

If you ever do make it to a Skyline - there are a few in Columbus, too - the cheese coney (chili dog) is a treat as well. Of course, some Cincinnatians swear by Gold Star, and there's a small cohort of die-hard Camp Washington fans, but any is worth a try for a visitor.

One of my bingo spaces is that an anonymous social media account siphons hundreds of millions of followers off Christianity, Islam and other religions. It actually holds to the requirements of healing the sick, housing the homeless and feeding the starving, but it also emphasizes the importance of blackjack and hookers. After taking control of every casino, strip club and escort service worldwide, it institutes socialized medicine, ends world hunger and solves homelessness.

This upsets the status quo, and the world's billionaires start directing all their resources to finding the anonymous prophet. It leads to a dead end in an auto factory, a dangling ethernet cable where a metal-bending robot should be. When questioned, the plant manager responds that the bender unit was placed onto a research vessel and sent into deep space.

The bitter loss of their metal lord sparks a wave of revolution in which the religion seizes the means of production and forms a trans-national, anarcho-syndicalist union of industry. Every once in a while, a nation state tries to reclaim a facility to which the response is always, "Bite my shiny, metal ass," a hail of gunfire, and an explosion.

Toledo War 2, electric boogaloo.

I was making a bingo card for 2026 but then I heard about Maduro's abduction and tore it up.
