You know how if you're reading a headline from the onion and you mistake it for real you've "eaten the onion?"

Is there a name for the reverse phenomenon? Where a real headline reflecting actual reality is so ridiculous that you reject it out of hand as satire only to realize it was genuine? Regurgitating the onion? What's the name for this?

Grew up in Hampton Roads (Portsmouth, Newport News, VAB mainly, but lived all over). It'd be so cool to just walk down to the strip, step into the ocean, and slowly grow to the size that I could walk to Europe like I was walking across a small, shallow pond, then shrink back down to size, get my passport stamped, and have some German beer and sausages before coming home. Lol

Star Trek is huge 'round these parts. One of the larger servers is trek themed, and there's a whole buncha trek coms on and off it

... I am stunned that on Lemmy of all places no one has yet said star trek!

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I actually quite like the MCU, especially Loki and Doctor Strange, any of the more magical-ish stuff. I even really like the avengers and Captain America stuff. I just have to shut off the political side of my brain sometimes to enjoy them, otherwise the Americaganda gets to me and bugs me.

For years, my dogs favorite toy was a nerf branded football made for dogs.

He would cuddle it, and whenever he got excited and actually chewed it, he would then whimper and cry and cuddle it more, because he hurt his baby

I like to think that they think of their toys as alive. You and the toy collaborated to create a fun game of SUPER LOUD SNIFFS to find the toy lol

For some reason, the sound is broken on mine, I guess. There's no audio at all

I do so love my magic tanks. I played sorcerers and wizards for like a decade before finally deciding to try a paladin, and oh good Lord was it fun being able to actually just slap a mfer
