Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Surely it can't be that dumb?

“I heard the scientists say the other day that when a man votes for a woman, he actually transitions into a woman.”

Ok, it's that dumb.

Doing a great job of not being weird.

It’s not dumbness, it’s cravenness. He’s saying things he thinks MAGA-bros like to hear. “Yeah brother, high-five! Burn those libs!”

Also the subtext here is that Jeff Bridges isn’t manly. I don’t think there’s a cure for that level of delusion.

I was talking with some scientists who told me that a mere touch on the hand from Jeff Bridges not only impregnates a woman, but also transitions her into a man.

I wake up each morning hairless, then I look into the mirror and speak the name Jeff Bridges three times. Instantly I’m transformed into a kind of human carpet covered from head to toe in three whole feet of man fur.

And each morning you really tie the bathroom together!

That was basically my reaction reading this. I was like “okay, I’m not posting this one, it’s obviously exaggerated… actually, it’s not exaggerated at all”

Fuck I could have saved so much money!

(It's bullshit anyway, my entire congressional delegation was women I voted for at one point, and I still had to get hrt)

So there is a way to change your gender!

And it's so easy too!

voter suppression intensifies

Top weird for the week, so far. Is weird now a Republican team sport or are they trying to out weird each other?

"The scientists" as if they are one fucking entity.
