You know how if you’re reading a headline from the onion and you mistake it for real you’ve “eaten the onion?”

Is there a name for the reverse phenomenon? Where a real headline reflecting actual reality is so ridiculous that you reject it out of hand as satire only to realize it was genuine? Regurgitating the onion? What’s the name for this?

I did Nazi that joke coming…

Grew up in Hampton Roads (Portsmouth, Newport News, VAB mainly, but lived all over). It’d be so cool to just walk down to the strip, step into the ocean, and slowly grow to the size that I could walk to Europe like I was walking across a small, shallow pond, then shrink back down to size, get my passport stamped, and have some German beer and sausages before coming home. Lol

Akshually, it’s a biblically accurate being but not quite a biblically accurate angel

Edit:

The art work is still cool as all fuck

Star Trek is huge 'round these parts. One of the larger servers is trek themed, and there’s a whole buncha trek coms on and off it

… I am stunned that on Lemmy of all places no one has yet said star trek!

There are dozens of us! Dozens!

I actually quite like the MCU, especially Loki and Doctor Strange, any of the more magical-ish stuff. I even really like the avengers and Captain America stuff. I just have to shut off the political side of my brain sometimes to enjoy them, otherwise the Americaganda gets to me and bugs me.

For years, my dogs favorite toy was a nerf branded football made for dogs.

He would cuddle it, and whenever he got excited and actually chewed it, he would then whimper and cry and cuddle it more, because he hurt his baby

I like to think that they think of their toys as alive. You and the toy collaborated to create a fun game of SUPER LOUD SNIFFS to find the toy lol

For some reason, the sound is broken on mine, I guess. There’s no audio at all

I do so love my magic tanks. I played sorcerers and wizards for like a decade before finally deciding to try a paladin, and oh good Lord was it fun being able to actually just slap a mfer

I wish my fingerprint scanner worked D:

Honestly, the only two problems I have had at all are fingerprint scanner (like, lowest priority for me), and the battery continues to drain quickly even when I close the laptop or put it in sleep mode or whatever it’s called

Ha!

I’ve never wanted all of those ostentatious rich people things, but it I ever get to the point of being able to afford it, and do it in any kind of environmentally friendly way, an indoor heated pool is on my list. I’m more likely to live in my car than have that, but God it’s the dream. Haha. I want to live someone cold, and still be able to swim every day. Rural Alaska, snow filled with snow melt in a big glass greenhouse full of tropical plants. Haha

I can only compare it to waxing a little bit. I got part of my arm and that little patch between my eyebrows waxed once, and it hurt like a sumbitch, not in a good way. Lol. The sugaring doesn’t really hurt at all, despite hitting that same mechanism in my brain as SI. And your skin is sooooo soft and smooth afterwards

Hahaha. Nice. I do actually wish I had gotten into competitive swimming as a kid. Maybe I wouldn’t have ended up so fat lol

Oh! I thought you were telling me off for not competitively swimming! Lmao. I genuinely thought I had, like, stumbled into the start of a flame war. Haha.

…

I love swimming, but I’m more of a “float really well and kinda nap while I do so” type than a competitive swimming type.

Though, occasionally when I go to the beach I end up making headlines if I lay out on the sand. “BEACHED WHALE SPOTTED”
