Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

“We assume monkeys were unaware of the identity, party affiliation, or policies of any of the candidates,” they wrote.

I fucking love this.

Some bold assumptions, if you ask me!

I give the best bananas, people say, nobody in the whole world gives better bananas than me 🍌, and when I give a banana, some assume, I don't just give a banana, but see they're coming, their (sic) rapists, and they're not sending their best people, but when i flush the toilet it doesn't work quite right and that's why folks, that's why when I give this monkey the best banana in the world, that's why people don't think it be like that but it do.

Literally anything can prefict the election if you count random chance as prediction, yes.

At this point I'm convinced that they are the only ones who can.

AMAZING read. Like, in a Tommy Wiseau kinda way.

“That a … 65-year-old votes like a 5-year-old suggests that there is something in our genes that probably drives decisions,”

Well it suggests something alright. :-|

We've had two as presidents.

If W And Trump can win an election, they might be able to predict one as well.

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I predict that it will either be Trump or Kamala... or someone else. So there, one just did.:-) 🙉

I would have thought so too, but recently I think it's not going to be as bad as once we feared.
