I thought “we’ll build a wall and have Mexico pay for it” was just shit-talking, too.
Trump has the habit of saying shit like this. His opponents will say “Oh god the cringe, it hurts”. His supporters will say “Oh shit, I didn’t think that we have to actually implement this? This will cause all sorts of expensive problems.”
It’s easy to think that crypto is over. The NFT bubble is so deflated. We’ve seen big companies like FTX bomb the hell out. I mean, the signs are obvious now, aren’t they? Crypto was, conclusively, proven to be the scam everyone said it would be and we don’t need any more proof, right?
And then we hear Trump administration is really into this crypto nonsense.
Somehow.
Guess they didn’t get the memo.
Brace yourself for 4 years of spectacular, glorious fail.
And if someone says stuff like “oh, Trump just got filthy rich off of the meme coin he launched yesterday”, let’s wait and see how the coin does at the end of his administration.
My favourite example of a straight-to-the-point animal name:
There’s a species of turtles. Goofy looking fellas with big heads. So what are they called? Big-headed turtles. OK, but surely the Latin name is sensible? No, it’s megacephalum. Totally a band name.
Funny thing, Pixelfed isn’t even a competitor to Instagram in the very very strictest sense.
Pixelfed is a federated service for posting photos.
Instagram started out as a service for posting photos, but it has become this… thing. I don’t even know anymore.
A turtle factoid! 🐢
A pancake tortoise (malacochersus tornieri) hatchling is called a Morsel, an adult is called a Flapjack, and a group is called a Stack.
…Not really, but, uh, anyway.
