The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Bring him a Tab Clear

This is great

People here get way to up in arms when Trump is mentioned. Just enjoy the stupidity of the world.

LBJ had a special button installed that would summon someone to bring him a Fresca.

Fucking bootlicking piece of ass

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

As much as I want to call out bootlickers, it would honestly be weirder if they didn't continue the tradition.

Headline might as well be "Trump first president to prefer Diet Coke."

You know every time he does something, someone in the comments makes an idiocracy reference and we all roll our eyes because "Yeah, theres the low hanging fruit guy coming to farm votes" like its an original thought.

Well... Its my turn.

"This Inauguration brought to you by Diet coke. DIET COKE, IF YOU DONT DRINK IT FUCK YOU!"

[–] [email protected] 8 points 23 hours ago

Except Idiocracy didn’t go far enough. Drumph isn’t going to walk around saying he’s sponsored by Coca-Cola, Coca-Cola is going to go around saying they’re sponsored by him.

“The Coca-Cola Company, sponsored by Donald Trump. Donald Trump - Fuck you!”

In other words: Coca-cola doesn't have a million to burn like the other oligarchs but wants to make Donny Two-Scoops feel like their special boy.

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 day ago

In other words, Coca-Cola realized that they don't need to spend $1 million dollars, they can just slap "Special Boy" on a bottle for 6 cents and achieve the same result.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago

You don't think the coca cola company has a million to burn?

THE COCA COLA COMPANY?!!

They just know that donny will lap this tat up and ask for seconds

Did Coke just call him fat?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 12 hours ago

It was diet Coke

It is basically health food

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah according to people from last time he was president he drinks this shit a LOT

Holy shit it's not a joke.

Also:

James Corden has said that Joe Biden has an "ice cream button" on his desk.

Quickly, Ben & Jerry's, you still got a few days left!

I like this timeline

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago

I saw the community this was posted in and my brain somehow removed the "not" in "not the Onion". I was like "haha, oh the Onion. They still got it."

Then I looked at the community again...

Can coca cola please gift him more non-diet cokes so he can get diabeetus and die

[–] [email protected] 0 points 12 hours ago

That's kind of a terrible thing to say. I wouldn't wish death or diabetes on anyone.

With that being said, Coke and Pepsi are slowly killing America

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Or just Diet Coke laced with polonium.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Want to know something funny?

Coke won't allow anyone to put Jesus on Coke, but they'll happily put Trump on it.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Trump's probably a much better customer than Jesus.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I might not understand how Christianity does these things, but wouldn't putting Jesus on coke be sacrilegious as fuck?
