Why are these alligators better identified than real ice

[–] Lupus@feddit.org 14 points 1 day ago

So predatory, stealthy until they strike, pretty brainless, mostly instinct driven, fierce to brutal, dangerous, opportunistic to the point they would eat their own kind if convenient, unpredictable and most importantly - famously resistant to change or growth. Seems oddly self aware...

If you have ever thought about what you would do during Nazi Germany, it is whatever you are doing now.

Holly shit. Cheers.

Let's say hypothetically that these detention centers actually were humane and actually needed. They're not, they're concentration camps and just a precursor to death camps, but let's pretend for a second that all that is well, these are just nice facilities for immigrants to wait until they go back to their vacation spot...

Even with that, this fucking oist is still disgusting and insane, and it comes from a government account.

This is shaping up to be Holocaust 2.0.

I'd pay money to watch an ICE agent try to put a hat on an alligator

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What? That's crazy talk! How could you watch that.....without popcorn???

POPCORN! GET'CHER POPCORN HERE! CAN'T WATCH A FASCIST MEET HIS END WITHOUT DELICIOUS BUTTERY SALTY POPCORN!

They did say they'd pay so presumably there'd be some production value to the affair. I'm seeing a Roman theme, along the lines of "Christians to the lions".

Photo made with AI, and that's not Alligator Intelligence.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Still. Both Lupo and I would pay money to see them try and put a hat on a gator.

Alligator Auschwitz

Wouldn't work because alligators brains are too big to work for ICE.

[–] AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 14 points 1 day ago

They also aren't ashamed or scared to show their faces.

well that's an insult to the alligators. I doubt they want to have anything to do with those nazis

So the lizard people (republicans) are finally going to shed their 'human' skin and reveal themselves?

A fraction of your tax dollars went to finding and paying the employee who would ultimately create this image on the clock.

[–] skuzz@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 day ago

And a fraction of Earth's habitability for the power wasted.

Yeah but we saved Gaza! Only we didn't.

Hugo Boss did much better uniforms.

This was Hugo Bass, from the fish and wildlife dept.

Now what did Homer Landscriby mean by this?
