Yesterday: Nobody gets that anymore, we don't have to monitor it any more.

Today: Turns out, the reason nobody was getting that, was because we were monitoring it.

NOBODY could have predicted that!

Its like having a functional IT department.

The rumor is that this parasite is what killed Lindsey Graham.

It's a rumor I'm starting, so pass it along.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago (1 children)

poor man was so anal retentive that he was full of shit.

[–] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

It's why he shit was coming out of his mouth all the time. So full that it constantly backed up. Anal retention is dangerous, kids.

You're like the tenth person I've heard that from.

Am I helping?

I heard it from the mayor

You'll probably find that the EPA rollbacks we've been doing around irrigation laws is what's causing the issue in the first place. Too much poop in the salad mix.

Exactly why I don’t buy American produce, and strongly advise others against it as well.

MAGAts are bringing so many good things to America.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 days ago

We should all be thanking our local magats by getting them fired from their jobs, even if it means lying, and stomping them in the streets

[–] AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 55 points 3 days ago (1 children)

When we said the US were becoming a shithole... we didn't expect them to become one so literally.

Speak for yourself.

[–] Murse@slrpnk.net 44 points 3 days ago (1 children)

We took a personification of disease, and made him Health Secretary. Dafuq did we expect would happen?

Shitting ourselves is far from the worst case scenario here.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (2 children)

One of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, shit, I figured death would be more intimidating though, not just an over privileged moron

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (5 children)

I thought they were death, war, conquest and famine, though maybe famine and pestilence go together

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 11 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (2 children)

You are correct, apparently a lot of media/fiction authors swap conquest to pestilence because they feel like it's too close to war.

I had to look it up specifically for pestilence because I was so confused how I got the idea.

So yeah I had that wrong, biblical speaking

Pratchett does Death, War, Famine and Pestilence

Don't look up!

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's because the parasite got into Ole Gravel Gullet's brain, fucked the dead worm, and then hijacked his last 6 brain cells to make the old bastard his puppet.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

that worm, is called HEROIN it destroyed his brain, and he used heroin to drive one of his family members to OD.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 1 points 16 hours ago

A crazy person can have more than one thing be wrong with him. Maybe the Trump Diarrhea parasite came for the heroin but stayed for the worm carcass?

The age of men is over. The time of poopie doop has begun.

[–] OrteilGenou@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Heeey, the less we monitor it, the easier it gets to monitor it. That's a win win!

[–] stumu415@lemmy.zip 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It's because the worm in his brain is constantly spewing verbal diarrhea.

Brainworm man is pro worm. long live shitworm disease.

[–] Greyghoster@aussie.zone 11 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Is there any chance that his brain worm might finish the job? I’ve had enough about hearing of his continuing insanity and would like for him and his boss to go away.

[–] fracture@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 days ago

way i hear it, the poor little guy starved to death...

[–] Prathas@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It had died in his brain, from what I remember him having said.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Maybe it laid eggs in there before dying. It's what I would have done.

[–] Prathas@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 days ago

Maybe it couldn't because it died from low-quality food.

This whole current government is basically explosive diarrhea.

This is just the literal manifestation of that fact.

CDC should never have taken their eyes off Jr... I knew he was gonna cause something.

[–] dumnezero@piefed.social 6 points 3 days ago

It's not within their power. This MAHA thing is supported by the Trump regime and the Project 2025 behind it. https://www.project2025.observer/en
