Saw a comment on Truanon call it "Funny 9/11", the sheer whimsy of it all was so left field

It started because some guy thought he heard yiddish at night.

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 70 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Heard Yiddish "coming from the walls" I can't imagine what that dude must have thought other than "I'm becoming a schizophrenic antisemite"

There also was that viral clip where Hasiddim started to crawl out of a manhole. The pic of Eric Adams directing the cops into a tunnel.

Truly amazing day, couldn't have been a funnier event all in all.

And the followup tweet after the tunnels had been revealed ‘I FUCKING TOLD YOU I WASN’T BEING ANTISEMITIC’

Comedy gold, one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen

if i remember correctly that tweet was from some right wing grifter that faked it after the fact. i think people from within the synagogue ordered the tunnel to be filled and then it got out of hand and police got called.

you remember wrongly, its even dumber than that it was some twitter troll pretending to be some right wing grifter that faked it after the fact.

this part just makes the whole story its fucking hilarious

If you described exactly what happened with no embellishment to someone else the day before it happened you would have been declared an antisemite of the highest order. Like the actual thing that happened sounds like something a conservative Russian would have made up in the 19th century.

Yeah man, a secretive Jewish sect is literally undermining New York to be closer to their messiah. Sure buddy.

If anyone could find the meme image of the Hasidic guy digging a tunnel in one direction, and the Hamas guy digging in the opposite direction and they're about to meet in the middle, I'd greatly appreciate it. At the end of the day, we all just wanna dig tunnels.

That was only last year huh? Time's slowed down again

[–] D61@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

Last year? Not like, 10 years ago?

kitty-birthday-sad Time... what even is it any more?

When someone told about the secret Jewish tunnel in New York I assumed it was an antisemitic conspiracy theory gookg around for some reason. Then it turned out to be real and that was baffling.

I can't possibly imagine what word got caught by the filter here

[–] Runcible@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

presumably unintentional misspelling of "going" that includes a slur

[–] egonallanon@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

Yup managed to miss the n and get k instead of I. That and my autocorrect despises how dyslexic I am.

[–] daniyeg@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

you click the little fediverse icon and see for yourself. spoilers it's a slur the filter randomly picked out of the text

[–] CptKrkIsClmbngThMntn@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

Groin, of course. volcel-judge

The fash were going crazy over it claiming this was evidence that qanon was right, iirc.
