Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!
Every time I think we hit rock bottom of the dumbest timeline. The universe goes, “Hold my beer. “
An AI eulogy posted by fascists. Some honor.
They're trying to make it uncool to remember Harambe.
And I bet from now on people will call it a right-wing dogwhistle any time you mention his name...
Being a Veteran Of The Internet, I know to take screengrabs with a pinch of salt. I'll do my due diligence, thank you!
And, well, I wish I hadn't. Because now I know this is real and oh my fucking god
It's real... https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/2059779450275864710
Jesus christ ... whichever 4chan incels were hired to run the U.S. web pages didn't even blink twice at turning a meme into a governmental announcement.
This is what it's about - completely outrageous displays of circusry to distract from it becoming an absolutely, pants-shittingly embarrassing mockery of its former glory.
The U.S is getting robbed blind and made to look like a buffoon simultaneously.
correction mate. The US is being robbed openly not blind.
Before reading this article and hearing the name "Harambe"?

After reading this article?

So tired of having a White House that shit posts like a boomer trying to sound cool to 14 year olds
That far too old a target for the current Whitehouse.
is truly the most ignorant and least serious culture in all of history.
WTF even is this timeline?
This post makes sense, though. None of these clowns would be on the White House if Harambe were still alive. Basic gratitude post.
They're really just throwing stuff at the wall at this point
Harambe memes were popular with 4chan neonazis and the like, they are shouting out to their base.
Of course they're honoring him, his death sealed the current future where Trump get elected twice.
With this character's death, the thread of prophecy has been severed. Reload to restore the weave of fate, or persist in this doomed world you have created.
I prefer a meme-free white house, is that communism?
We're killing people overseas RIGHT NOW. We're arming other countries doing the same thing RIGHT NOW. These aren't joking matters. I won't even get into the various financial problems we're facing, whilst building a goddamn Octagon on WH the front lawn. If you don't have something important to say, shut the fuck up white house.
revolting brevity, Harambe would instinctively attack and dismember any of these clowns on sight.
And now, show me Epstein files.
For a fraction of a second my brain went to some other less awful universe and I read this sentence as a totally normal thing of like "oh yeah of course, harambe must've been an important person and it's totally normal for rational governments to honour important people".
I want to stay there.
I wish to stay there with you.

Everything that can possibly be ruined, they will leave no stone unturned
On this day, Harambe stopped being funny. The memes, though dead, will live on forever in our hearts.
What.
Jesus, the entire administration is full of fucking morons. Even the aids that post on social media.
Fitting.
The new heraldic animal for the bananan republic.
Shit hole country.
I usually try to read the article…and I’m left wondering what in the ever loving fuck I just read.
CIA looking for alien blood lines on 23 and me….I can’t tell real life from tabloid shit any more
As for Harambe, he was not a patriot. He was a beautiful animal that was shot despite being a gentle soul who did not hurt a fallen child. He did not care about human politics or Trumpian bullshit. Lovely being, yes. Martyr, maybe. Patriot, no.
I love how this post inadvertently shits on/ makes fun of 9/11 with the "we all remember what we were doing when it happened" line
Best case for shutting down the internet, imo. Bunch of people with internet poisoned brains in positions of power who would rather talk about an ape that died a decade ago than any problem facing a living human being today.
So it’s been 10 years.
Let’s open the portal to get out of this alternate timeline
Everyone drop acid and walk in circles
Feels much longer than that.
But 2020 went on for at least 5 years.
meme-washing
cheap, gets likes
the fuck is this retarded shit, go shit on the south lawn you fuckheads
And then... MMA!

White Trash elected White Trash and got White Trash. News at 11.
More of a patriot than any of the motherfuckers currently running the country
In this case "dicks out" refers to the mid term elections
beginning to wonder if I've been in a coma since 2015.... and the madness is all just my brain shutting down more and more... because that's the only way this shit makes any sense
