This is pretty fucking believable.

[–] fake@sh.itjust.works 39 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Which means the reality of 2027 is going to be far stupider

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

2027-2028 are going be insane. Every MAGA knows that if the Dems take over the Legislature in 2026, then the Presidency AND extend their majority on Congress in 2028, then a LOT of MAGAs are going to prison, and some may even be executed.

So they will be desperate to make sure we are fully under MAGA control by 2028, and that will require massive violence. The good news is that we already know that MAGAs are virtuosically incompetent, so they will fuck it all up, and lose in the end, but the damage they will do along the way will be incalculable. That will give us the justification to treat MAGA as the Domestic Terrorist Organization, and an active, ongoing, enthusiastic National Security Threat that they clearly are, and prohibit them from existing, and purge them from our government and our society.

Bold move assuming the Dems have the chutzpah to send fascists to prison

The ~~Solar~~ American System and its eight planets: Barron, Natalie, America, Melania, Trump™'s Big Beautiful Planet, Ivanka, Don Jr. And Eric.

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 21 points 6 days ago (1 children)

IIRC most of the planets in the system were named after Roman gods, so it doesn't sound too far fetched

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 12 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

All apart from Earth. Which is probably just because every language had a word for the planet they life on before Roman names were introduced for planets you can't see with the bare eye.

[–] igmelonh@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Uranus is Greek; the Roman equivalent would be Caelus.

Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn can be easily seen with the naked eye

[–] icanbrewmushrooms@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Mercury too

[–] TBi@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

All part of the American Way Galaxy

Within the American Galaxy Cluster, inside the Americaverse

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Betcha Eric is Uranus

Canadian Geese are now known as Donald Ducks.

Humanity has a clear version of evil and has failed to deal with it. Humanity is pathetic.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 9 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Every time somebody tries the elite and media decry political violence. I hate to break it to them that the Revolutionary War was political violence.

[–] reksas@sopuli.xyz 3 points 5 days ago

when evil person crys how injust you are for opposing, the answer should be even more fierce opposing

I’m not sure we’ll have to wait even that long

[–] Salvo@aussie.zone 12 points 6 days ago

Depends on how the midterms go…

[–] M137@lemmy.today 20 points 5 days ago (4 children)

The most implausible part of that is that the AI bubble will pop that soon.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 13 points 5 days ago

The main portion of dot com bubble was about 5 years long, so it's actually pretty realistic estimations

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 days ago

Nobody knows when a bubble will pop. It could be literally today.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Although, a recent How Money Works video makes a strong case that a 2026 AI collapse is at least on the BINGO card.

ETA: I think it's this one (on YouTube) but I'm not entirely sure. Otherwise, it's this one.

It's gonna start to get confusing pretty damn soon, calling everything America. Every body of water, and everything in our solar system.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 14 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

He's already said that he's thinking of renaming both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. That won't cause any problems at all. /S

So stupid. Obviously, the solution is to name one ocean after America, and the other one after Trump.

[–] CalypsoGirl@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago

As soon as he's dead, TPTB better switch everything back to the original names.

When everything is America, nothing will be.

Meanwhile, The European Commission is trying to make Chat Control happen for the 67th time (it won't happen, and it's more of a tradition than anything at this point).

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 16 points 6 days ago (3 children)

Tbh this renaming everything to America or Trump thing will get confusing real soon. Gulf of America (classic), Gulf of America (new), and Gulf of America (new 2)? How about keeping Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of California, and Gulf of St Lawrence?

[–] mister_flibble@sh.itjust.works 17 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Diet Gulf of America, Gulf of America with lime, and new Gulf Zero

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 14 points 6 days ago

This probably doesn't sound dumb enough

[–] testaccount789@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I just checked his Truth Social account to verify a different post, only to find he's working on renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America...

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Too late, he thinks he has already done it

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Google went with it too

[–] inari@piefed.zip 9 points 6 days ago

Sounds plausible

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

we're already at a good start

That last time made me laugh out loud.

[–] jbrains@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 days ago

Suddenly the Hilton Burger in Reykjavík seems like a bargain

[–] this@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 days ago

Stop giving them ideas
