I actually had to verify that this was satire.

[-] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 47 points 8 months ago

Yeah, because the bar currently resides in hell

[-] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 13 points 8 months ago

Hell's too shallow

[-] guriinii@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Yeah, seems something like The Daily Mail would publish

[-] ares35@kbin.social 12 points 8 months ago

this article might be, but the sentiment is not.

an inclusive organization that educates and empowers girls and young women is definitely on the list of people and organizations hated by the far-right.

[-] Hyperreality@kbin.social 5 points 8 months ago

I saw this was posted in theonion, I know hardtimes is satirical, I still wasn't entirely sure it was satire.

[-] Pickle_Jr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 32 points 8 months ago

There's a guy in my community where this news isn't satire.

We have some bloke who goes to a local printing shop and gets a bunch of custom yard signs by the dozens every other week. If he wasn't such a bigot it would be fun looking at what is the sign of the day lol.

Just a few weeks ago there was a "Girl Scouts are going woke!" sign 😐

[-] Riven@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 8 months ago

Ironically girl scouts are woke. Haven't they always been for the empowerment of girls? Teaching them how to be more confident and self sufficient lul. I'm surprised they haven't been targeted yet by that crowd tbh.

[-] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Literally since before the beginning of the GSA. The founder of the BSA Robert Baden-Powell ran a newsletter for the early Boy Scouts and in 1909 he wrote, "If a girl is not allowed to run, or even hurry, to swim, ride a bike, or raise her arms above her head, how can she become a Scout?"

God I don't think it's ever been easier to eat the onion than with his headline. In fact I'm 99% sure this is actually happening somewhere.

How do you feel?

[-] fidodo@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

I didn't eat the onion because I read the sub first, yet it still made me think did this get posted to the wrong sub?

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

"I didn't eat the onion, but it does look yummy"

[-] NegativeLookBehind@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Whatever you do, just keep them away from Matt

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 13 points 8 months ago

Girl Scout Cookies can woke right into my mouth!

[-] casmael@lemm.ee 12 points 8 months ago

I actually briefly got mashed by this one 🤦‍♂️

[-] stoly@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago
[-] casmael@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

As in i briefly thought the story sounded believable enough to be real, before noticing the publication. There is a satyrical news site in the uk called ‘the daily mash’, hence the term ‘mashed’ for being tricked into believing the obviously fake news

[-] Treczoks@kbin.social 11 points 8 months ago

If a conservative "think" tank wasted that amount of money and went nowhere, I'd say the money was well spent. That's $40m they cannot spend on other things.

[-] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 11 points 8 months ago

Didn't this actually happen five or six years ago when the Girl Scouts officially started allowing trans girls in?

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 9 points 8 months ago

Theyve done that for a while, like over a decade.

There was a thing more recently where they were beefing with the Boy Scouts for allowing girls in though.

[-] Fizz@lemmy.nz 9 points 8 months ago

I almost didn't notice the community this was from. It really does seem like something they would do.

[-] Plum@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

That's a lot of cookies. Damn.

[-] Bonehead@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago

Dammit...I nearly ate the onion.

[-] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

If they ever did this I'd probably riot over tagalongs.

[-] antidote101@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

In reality I suspect it could be done for less than a million.

[-] DessertStorms@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

How hard can it be, they have "girl" right there in the name! 🙄😂

[-] AlwaysNowNeverNotMe@kbin.social 1 points 8 months ago

See I knew this was fake because the girl scouts is a cookie company that somehow uses child labor. They don't teach those girls anything about knots, knives, fire, guns, boats, or anything like that.
