Republicans took to the streets in adult diapers when it was revealed that their geriatric rapist felon wannabe god had to use diapers, with the rallying cry "REAL MEN WEAR DIAPERS". Never assume that their degeneracy has an upper limit because they'll prove you wrong the next day.

When even abdl people are going stop that, you're being cringe, you know you've gone off the deep end.

we ain’t crinklin no more

Say what now? It’s not even Trump season, and I’m still reading stuff that is so absurd it should be a joke. During Covid times, it was common to read the weirdest things and think: “yeah, that might as well happen”. This time though, I really have to ask if that really did happen.

You do have to look at the merch tables with a grain of salt though, as many of them know Trump is in a dementia spiral and losing his marbles. They also know that his rally goers will buy just about anything and are more than happy to pretend for their $$$.

If that feel-bad-for-people part of me didn't work on overdrive I'd be out there with tables and sites full of merch pandering to these braindead (brainwashed?) morons

"a fool and his money are soon parted"

[-] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago

What’s wrong with picking any of the younger candidates? I imagine it’s a pretty demanding job, so being 30 years younger wouldn’t hurt.

[-] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yep. That’s about the same level of amazing that I used to bump into on a daily basis. So, are we about to have another season of “you never imagined this would happen, but here we are”.

[-] BrundleFly2077@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

I thought the same thing. I guess we live in a society?

[-] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

😂 OK, that may as well happen. What’s next? Evil magic zombies wouldn’t surprise me.

[-] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

We already have trump supporters.

[-] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

I always think that now I’ve seen it all, and nothing will surprise me any more… Until Trump supporters somehow pull off some bizarre magic and manage to surprise me anyway. I just looked up some of the twitter posts with relevant pictures. I don’t even know what to think of this stuff any more. Maybe I’ve just had too much internet for today.

Steve Jobs never showered, even when he started to work at Atari, he was moved to night shift because all his colleagues said he stank badly. He said that his body cannot have foul odours because he was eating only fruits, or something like that. This is why he died BTW, he thought that he could cure his cancer by eating some stuff and not the other.

Reek does not stop cult people.

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 12 points 3 weeks ago

I love the fact that he died of his own stupidity also cancer

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 5 points 3 weeks ago

Reek does stop the general public, and a cult can't win an election alone.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

All past evidence aside you mean?

[-] j4k3@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

You underestimate the power of the antivax covid cult wing of WoP. They can't taste after full covid, therefore they can't smell... pitchfork hillbillies prevail to war on women and minorities as the true neo Nazis.

[-] sxan@midwest.social 18 points 3 weeks ago

If Smell-o-Vision was a thing, everyone would think Trump smelled like pine trees and ocean spray, because that's what he'd pay them to broadcast, or else refuse to allow himself to be broadcast on their networks.

The guy slathers on so much fake tan, he looks like he's wearing black-face. His only genuine characteristic is his inability to stop the senility from coming out of his mouth.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

Bold of you to assume his cult gives a shit.

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

"But he tells it like it is!" they say.

Then you listen Trump giving s speech and telling 4 outright lies in the first 3 rambling sentences.

[-] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I just tell the people who quote that line that they're a fucking moron. Then they get all offended about 'telling it like it is'.

He lies, grifts and rapes. And they somehow have the nerve to draw parallels with other more distinguished politicians.

[-] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

“By the end of his term, Trump had accumulated 30,573 untruths during his presidency — averaging about 21 erroneous claims a day.”

Anyway, those numbers are kinda impressive… in the saddest way possible… But I don’t think I’ve ever heard of any politician coming even close.

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Doesn't matter when their noses smell a shit

[-] SomeGuy69@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

He had still won. Shit people preferring shit, have voted for more shit. You can't win against a pig in a mud fight, it's used to it and will like it at the end.

[-] cuchilloc@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Nor Joe, I imagine the smell of days old flower pot water. Like the flower shops near cemeteries. “Old people smell”.

[-] sxan@midwest.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

Good thing Joe isn't running, huh?

[-] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 3 weeks ago

Trump smells like that PLUS diaper urine smell, so: nice try

[-] princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 weeks ago

I know we're talking about Trump here but this kind of ends up stigmatising all people that need to wear nappies. Myself, a disabled trans femme, included.

[-] beefbot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

Well, that’s fair. Sorry

[-] cuchilloc@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

The orange spray paint smell overwhelms the others!

[-] Binette@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago

I think there would be PR to put in good smell. Or maybe highjacking to put in a putrid smell. Either way, entertaining.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Jurassic Park has a moment where Ellie Sattler is literally elbow deep in triceratops poop. It was a pile of poop as big as a person.

..........so, my question is, if dog shit smells different than cat shit, then how would directors know which scent of shit would best accentuate that scene's full realistic immersion?

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 11 points 3 weeks ago

Dogs are omnivores, while cats were until recently carnivores. Triceratops is a herbivore, so it would have likely smelled more like a dog's. Probably not that much different than a cow's.

[-] rustyfish@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

while cats were until recently carnivores

[-] Dkarma@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

You've never seen the ingredients list to dry cat food have you...

[-] Aphelion@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago
[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 2 points 3 weeks ago

Depends how you define carnivorism

If carnivores are animals that eat meat in nature, then cats are carnivores

If carnivores are animals that absolutely require meat to survive, then cats stopped being carnivores a little while ago.

[-] Aphelion@lemm.ee -1 points 3 weeks ago

Cats, even domesticated species, are still obligate carnivores, as in they will die of malnutrition eventually if they are put on a non-meat diet.

They 100% need to eat meat to survive. Vegan cat food will kill them slowly as they can't properly process the proteins in plants.

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 2 points 3 weeks ago

Outdated information. We recently invented synthetic taurine and solved that problem.

[-] Aphelion@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

OK, yes, you are correct and I had not looked at the comparison study. Very cool! Ty.
