Uncontrolled heaving? Retching? Reverse peristalsis? Hives? Eczema? Purulent sores? Spontaneous human combustion? Missing time due to effects of alien abductions?

What wild effect?

It reminds me of the scene in Clerks 2 where Randall wants to bring the term “porch monkeys” back

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I loved how actually clueless Randall was about the history of that term

[–] misfitx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It was the first time I had ever heard the word. There are too many slurs out there.

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

And I think that's what's great about it and gives the whole inclusion in the story value. There are things people don't know and they earnestly don't understand why they get heat until they get clued in.

Hard to shift thought patterns that are well established when they don't make sense to you (closing your mind to learning is an entirely different ball of wax as well)

Alex Jones is more like Julius Streicher who also sported a pathetic moustache to ingratiate himself with Hitler. Streicher was virulently antisemitic and spouted all kinds of bug eye conspiracies but even other Nazis thought he was little more than an annoying clown.

Who wore it better?

Michael Jordan's Little Mustache

This is all dog with whistle on top.

It's the same thing as the Elon Nazi salute or speech Stephen Miller just gave echoing Goebbels.

It's explicitly showing support for Nazis with a thin veil of "no u" on top for those who will take an excuse.

If Adolf Hitler himself appeared today and shouted some furious hours-long speech about the superiority of the Aryan race at an assembly of tens of thousands of uniformed goose-stepping thugs, people would be asking, "was that a dogwhistle?"

Can a woman confirm he's more attractive this way?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He's twice as attractive as before.

[–] Bunbury@feddit.nl 9 points 1 day ago

And simultaneously half as attractive.

Hitler would have thrown him in the gas chambers to strengthen the gene pool.
