Yeah, Krashmo has a point.. You never know who is lurking on Lemmy
It's exactly what Warren Buffett said about him; an interviewer in 2016 asked: "What do you think about Trump winning the presidency, he's a businessman"
Buffett laughed and says: "Yeah, every business he has run, he run straight into the ground." (Still thinking it was a theoretical question)
Reporter goes: "Yes, but he is President Elect"
Buffett's smile just kinda melted as he realized the new "business" he would be running, was the U.S.

A xenonaut sits in a bar with a glass of whiskey in one hand and a cigar in another.
A xenobiologist walks in and sits next to them.
"What was it today? Caustic gas? Acidic rain?"
"A fern."
The xenobiologist raises an eyebrow surprised by the despair in their tone.
"What's so bad about a fern?" She asked. "That's amazing evidence of convergent evolution!"
"Not just any fern. The same fern. Alpha, gamma, delta, epsilon quadrant, all of them have the same genetic blueprint." He continued putting his cigar out in his drink.
"That's.. amazing! Exciting news even! I mean, celebrate, live a little! You've found that the tree of life has roots!" She tried to cheer him up.
"The common... domesticated fern, from here." He says, getting up and departing, gesturing to the ferns growing on the campus green.
I thought I was subscribed to the wrong interdimensional branch for a second there
