It's the Beaverton similar to the onion? Because if so it got me too.

[-] adespoton@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 years ago

It’s the Canadian version, eh?

[-] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I legit had about a minute of existential crisis trying to get my under-caffeinated brain to dredge up if the Beaverton was satire or not....I don't like it. I hate that I can't find the humour in this article.

Various messages in the ongoing “Canada Invasion” Signal thread include: • plans to invade Vancouver and Toronto simultaneously, “because they’re right next to each other” • a refusal to include Danielle Smith in the text chain due to the Alberta Premier “being too pick-me”

I’m howling 🤣🤣🤣

Danielle Smith getting left on read after the amount of bootlicking she's done is a top tier joke lol

[-] crazyminner@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 years ago

Holy fuck shit. I'm already so on edge and I read this shit. It's harder and harder to decipher satire from reality at a glance anymore.

Considering the stupidity and utter banality of most conservatives, I just took this all in stride as unusual but not unexpected, clear until the beaver at the bottom of the article (I was on mobile, and got a Reader-sanitized version). Damn, satire isn’t even registering as such with me anymore.

When stupidity reigns, satire becomes impossible.

Texting would be so impersonal. The polite way to do things is to accidentally hand over the documents in person.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 8 points 2 years ago

He’s a little busy at the moment handing over our documents to the Russians.

Putin prefers a personal, intimate touch.

[-] Spacehooks@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

This could be a prophecy give it time.
