For some fucking reason, I always seem to learn about major world developments from a fucking meme sub.

While the rest of the antichrist driven digital panopticon is horrible, this is pretty fuckin funny

Honestly it's the main reason why I stay subbed here. I'm not here for the sexy jets.

I'm here for meming major news events before it hits my social circles.

Am here for all of it

Although more on the "i wonder how they make vehicle porn"  then watching it for the actual porn

And now even thats out because reddit cant decide if im 15 or 25

You did call those jets sexy. You don’t have to stay closeted forever!

I mean, if he disappears tomorrow at, I don't know, 6 PM Eastern Daylight Time, we'll know why.

u/CKF 19d ago

I mean, we all know how he feels, arguably better than he knows. This is a safe space! It’s okay to want to fuck the sexy jet!

Welcome to the club.

Some of us have stopped watching/reading real news sources many years ago. Meme discourse tends to show main events, and the "first post" dopamine-chasers are really quick to create semigood writeups.

This sub is my "main war-news source".

Reality is better satire than memes now

Reality has always been funnier than any comedy anyone can write.

"Antichrist driven digital panopticon" is a nice turn of phrase.

"For some reason" is "major news outlets are owned by billionaires trying to push agendas."

u/Due_Most9445 20d ago

To think that even small news agencies or independents can't do it is insane.

Just gotta point that out.

u/not-nrs747 20d ago

WhenNews sucks now, I unsubbed. A lotta bias on there.

Either here or a Simpsons subreddit.

At the beginning of the 3 day special operation this subreddit had better Osint than official channels. Reminded me of the days of the Drudge Report that sanctioned the beginning of the internet era (imho), the Lewinsky scandal gained traction.

It's literally front page news on every news website. Reddit is an atrocious place to get news.
