Idiocracy is now a fucking documentary.

How much you want to wager, the "mainstream" media will be sporting a boner over this gala event?

[-] oppy1984@lemdro.id 47 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I really wish people would stop saying Idiocracy is a documentary, it's not. President Camacho was able to see his shortcomings and hired the smartest man in the world to fix things, that's not happening in real life.

Idiocracy is something for us to aspire to.

Office space is still a documentary right?

[-] Steve@startrek.website 5 points 1 month ago

Been saying this for a year now

[-] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

But we did hire the smartest man in the world:

Elon Musk

For context, his Big Idiot Bill passed, but polling on it has been horrendous. This is another distraction.

Of course it's a distraction "panem et circenses" for the people! It's so close to old Rome you might throw in a Roman salute here and there.

[-] timewarp@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

And in 2030 he'll be having immigrants fight to the death for their freedom.

[-] Chainweasel@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I feel like a more realistic timeline for that is 2027 at the very latest

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

It wouldn't surprise me if it happened next week.

[-] DrDickHandler@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

They are not winning freedom. Winner gets a pillow for 1 night in Alligator Auschwitz.

never undersestimate crack strength.

[-] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago

Plot twist, death is their only freedom

[-] grysbok@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 1 month ago

Didn't Stephen King write a novela about that?

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 10 points 1 month ago

Are we finally gonna get the Musk vs Zuckerberg showdown?

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

musk's MOM gave him a hallpass to excuse him from it. doubt he can fight an ANDROID like zuckerberg also knowing BJJ.

[-] TuffNutzes@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Biff Tannen has become president.

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

This feels really psychotic. All of this really makes me want to question reality. Are we in a simulation? Are we an experiment by an advanced alien race, and they're tweaking parameters to study us?

Trump is like a grade school bully, in a lord of the flies scenario. He's got all this power and he's bringing in his bully friends and they're doing shit grade school bullies would do with all this power.

And all the people who voted for him...

None of this makes any sense. The end is nigh?

[-] socphoenix@midwest.social 1 points 4 weeks ago

I think the mistake we (myself included) tend to make is assuming people have any intelligence on average.

“What’s this? IT’S BERNIE SANDERS WITH A STEEL CHAIR!”

[-] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Idiocracy, here we come.

[-] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Trump VS Obama? I’d fucking watch that.

[-] alucard@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago
[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 0 points 1 month ago

I'll allow it!

[-] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Musk v Zuck

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 month ago

it would be quite difficult for trump to even walk, especially like a centaur, and his pants is full of shit.

[-] PartyAt15thAndSummit@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Well, as they say, if you put a clown on the throne, he does not become king. The palace becomes a circus.

[-] b161@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago

The White House lawn will be turned into a monster truck track next.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 month ago

Why not? Honestly why not? I would at least be entertained.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Based on Musk's black eye, I would say that Trump's White House has allready seen at least one fight

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Can we please stop getting sidetracked by "trump might eat green cheese 2026" please?

[-] Beebabe@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I’m not sure how satire outlets can write headlines anymore tbh.

[-] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 1 points 4 weeks ago

"Trump's new tax on the wealthy will help million of low income families"

That's honestly the only Onion title I would fact check at this point.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

This is how we get real life to look like a video game. Imagine page boys and interns in their little suits hooting for martial violence like the background of Street Fighter. What a time to be alive.

[-] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

I hope it's as successful as his birthday party

[-] Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Rehabilitation!
