A rare funny from them.

[–] Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 24 points 3 days ago

ahhh, the "conservative who identifies as a comedian mk8 the same joke 50 times" version of the onion?

It took me 10 seconds to realize this was a joke, and another 10 to get the joke.

I don't like this timeline

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

It took me no seconds to get the joke, but 10 seconds to realize that it was a joke for real.

I wonder what brand of fucking big television the dalai lama has. 🤔

why is this community putting babylon bee headlines on my front page

[–] superniceperson@sh.itjust.works 41 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Memes are memes, why are you subscribed to a meme page if you don't like memes

Because they cannot/don't want to read. Or they just don't care

[–] FrChazzz@lemm.ee 5 points 2 days ago

Technically it’s a post of guy putting a Babylon Bee headline on someone else’s page, now screen shot to yours.

Right-wing version of The Onion.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 25 points 3 days ago (4 children)

Wait.... So their version of a joke is to.... Make a joke at their own expense because of how shitty Vance is?

They are more traditional right, not MAGA right. They make fun of the Republican party all the time.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oh? Glorious glorious juicy infighting.

The pot: No, YOU'RE black!

The other pot: No, you're black.

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

We're all black on this blessed day!

Also with a Christian slant if I recall correctly

[–] Lemjukes@lemm.ee 13 points 3 days ago (2 children)

The Onion but by Christian conservatives.

[–] FrChazzz@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago

They were pretty funny when they got started. They would openly roast Joel Osteen and all the Prosperity Gospel crap. Then they decided to wade into politics. And misogyny. So much misogyny.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Smart move, JD would've sucked that old man's tongue right out of his head.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I still haven't been able to wrap my head around that event. It makes me want to vomit.

[–] pugehenis@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Ni shuo xie xie le ma?

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago (2 children)

In light of the Dalai's earlier pronouncement that his successor would be female, the administration has promised him immortality.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

But... isn't the gist that his successor is himself?

🏳️‍⚧️

[–] grue@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

The gist is that his successor isn't whoever the Chinese Communist Party says it is (either directly or by trotting our that kid they kidnapped decades ago who hasn't been seen since).

Nirvana does not care for the mortal body limitations. Enlightenment is universal.

[–] superniceperson@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Tell that to Buddhists, especially Tibetan Buddhists which explicitly discriminate against women and claim they will never reach enlightenment.

[–] lath@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Exactly why they themselves haven't reached enlightenment. Too concerned with being petty of others instead of untangling the self.

Have people forgot already the "suck my tongue" pedo shit this guy pulled out?

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, I definitely remember when the mainstream media jumped at the chance to smear one of the most peaceful spiritual figures alive, context be damned. They took a culturally unfamiliar moment and ran it through a Western lens to manufacture outrage. And look, they're still collecting dividends on it!

[–] index@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He asked a child to suck his tongue, there's no context the guy is a pedo

[–] dovahking@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Yeah. Just like theatre guys tell others to "break a leg". There's no context. Every one of them is a psychopath for wishing harm.

That does sound like something the Dalai Lama would say.

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It is a cultural difference slightly taken out of context. Albeit it is incredibly jarring for Americans and other European countries. He did issue an apology for it.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Go on ...

This is a perfectly normal thing in Tibetan culture?

[–] Pacattack57@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Sort of. According to residents who defended him they said it is a normal joke that elderly people to do children in Tibet.

[–] Underwire@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

By the way why the pope even accepted (he or someone of his entourage) to meet with JD Vance?

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 5 points 3 days ago

Dalai is finding himself some Necrotic damage resist gear first.

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 5 points 3 days ago

He doesn't want to die yet.
