I think that's probably why this is posted in a memes community

Where does the inability to scratch Jell-O reside in the mohs scale?

Walking on jello cubes would be like walking on Lego!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

the jello is made out of diamonds.

That table is immortallized with a photo of the two of them sat at it framed above it.

That’s just further evidence that Epstein killed himself…

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Because he didn’t get to drink beers with Obama?

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No because Anthony Bourdain also took his own life. Proving that they’re… dun dun DUN! The same person!

Yeah. I was, like, "wait a minute." xD I used to watch No Reservations. Quickly looked up Anthony Bourdain with Obama just to make sure. They were featured together in Parts Unknown.

Man, it still hurts that he's gone. My first introduction to Bourdain was in No Reservations, and after not getting enough of his wit and love of all things culinary and people (because of too much time between seasons), I picked up Kitchen Confidential and was instantly hearing his voice in my head as I read.

Depression is a motherfucker.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 80 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And now I am stuck with the knowledge that Anthony Bourdain does kinda look like Epstein.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't know, pulling a sheet of images of both side by side. Other than hair color and some age wrinkles, I'm not really seeing it.

I think showing a picture of a celebrity right now with a middle-aged greying man with disheveled hair just predisposes us to seeing him.

Here I found two pictures of them with almost the same exact expression. The ears and nonses are wildly different, the chins both have divits, but are shaped differently.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean in a picture with 12 pixels, they look alike enough.

I just now realized... T**** hates Obama because Barack was naturally cool, in a way the felon in chief will never be.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 43 points 2 weeks ago

Also Trump's racist.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 23 points 2 weeks ago

trump and his father have a special hatred for black people in general.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Barack was naturally cool, in a way the felon in chief will never be.

It was so cool, the way Barry turned a blind eye to a decade of financial crimes while overseeing the automation of the Pentagon's mass surveillance and automated their preferred tools for repression and assassination overseas. I loved how he prosecuted whistleblowers all casual and sexy, kept the torture prison in Cuba open indefinitely, and unleashed the FBI on the largest movement of black civil rights activists since the 1960s.

Trump will never be as suave or as sexy while committing war crimes, suppressing domestic dissent, or papering over the horrors of the plutocracy. I ❤️ You Obama!

Fuck, I miss Anthony Bourdain, the world has a severe lack of genuinely awesome, nice, caring, charismatic assholes.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 5 points 2 weeks ago

We miss you Anthony!

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Too many fall pretty to Fuckitol® in its various forms. 🥲 He was a major inspiration to me, in coming and in life. (and a surprise visitor at a humble cart I ran, back in the pre-Voodoo days, but I froze up.😱)

Guys, we're at war. That's what all this fucking nonsense is about. We didn't find a pedophile. We found a structure. We are all civilian casualties of a post-mutual destruction psychological, narcotic - pick the front war. From the red hats making you assume you know what your neighbor thinks without asking, to the fentanyl from Chinese precursors to the "dating" apps full of scammers, we're looking at the results of infiltration. Guarantee the list has been destroyed.

Let's waterboard Trump.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Let’s waterboard Trump.

Go for it. Nobody's stopping you, right?

[–] Asswardbackaddict@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Interconnectedness and patriotism are the points. Or are you trying to make me feel powerless like you feel?

Edit: Sorry, guys. I'm trying to improve here. I'm going to rephrase that to "trying to make me feel powerless like you MAY feel".

I don't know you or your situation or how you feel, because I haven't asked.

It's only a matter of time before pictures of Epstein surface, partying with Karl Marx himself. Then the evil commie Democrats will be forced to support President Trump!

[–] sxan@midwest.social 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It gets better.

Elvis is alive, and lives on Epstein Island. So do Michael Jackson and both Robert and John Kennedy. Sasquatch is also there, although he had to come to the mainland briefly to break into Pam Bondi's office to steal the list from her desk, which was facilitated by the aliens who also hang out at the island.

The only true part about this is the list, which will not get released until we re-enact 1787 and get rid of the oligarchs, who are all on it.

[–] jollyrogue@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I believed the alien part.

But yeah, chop chop, chop chop.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

8647, chop, chop, chop!

I can imagine a fun little "whistle while we work" ditty to go along with it!

I don't know who I'd rather have a beer with, Bourdain or Obama.

[–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Well, only one of em is alive, so that narrows the field dramatically I'd say.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, that's kind of my quandary. If they were both alive, I probably wouldn't feel quite as strongly about Bourdain. Heck, I barely knew anything about him other than watching some of his stuff before he passed. I'd love to ask a bunch of questions about the current political landscape and a previous successful democratic president, but it's not like I'd get the time of day from them for more than an autograph or a selfie.

[–] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Pick Bourdain. Obama would drone strike your family.

[–] Opisek@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Not the point but does the tweet's OP not know the word Vietnam? Why always clump huge regions together like the individual countries don't matter?

[–] rezifon@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

"Vietnam" is not widely known for sex tourism, but "Southeast Asia" is coded. "Sex Tourism in Southeast Asia" is a familiar term in American English and the image caption is tailored to leverage that association. This image was created to be misinformation and the creator chose the phrasing to increase the image's impact.

It's a severe cause of 'muricanism. They can't even find Mexico or Canada in a world map

[–] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Mexico is right there off the Gulf of America

I am surprised Trump hasn't still made AI photos of Obama and Epstein tho

[–] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 21 points 2 weeks ago

CHECKMATE LibtaRdsS!

-People who Ignore the Pictures and Videos of Trump with ACTUAL Epstein and then call Epstein an American Hero!

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Vanishingly close to letting AI fill in the gaps and running with this as is.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Anthony Bourdain DID commit suicide.

[–] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Is that the well know Anthony Bordepstein? I thought he hated white tiles.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Looks like that’s from Threads. A real shithole of right wing trolls, paid and just plain stupid. Deleted my account.
