    How is this not the Idiocracy timeline? I’d anything it feels like the pace of the “dumbing down” is too fast.

      The president in Idiocracy sought the help of someone smart.

      Y’all need to remember that and realize we are way past this movie.

        He could also form coherent sentences, was in Terry Crews-shape, and didn’t shit himself once. We’re already well into Idiocracy 2: Electric Boogaloo territory.

      Idiocracy would be a vast improvement over our current predicament, no joke.

        Yeah, there weren’t leagues of malevolent rich assholes seeking to make the world worse for their own profits. Just a bunch of idiots who apparently forgot how to think.

    I literally saw a comment about a month ago on Lemmy saying “what’s next, wrestling matches in the white house?” Or something like that.

        My favorite thing is taking pictures of them grappling, then putting a black censor bar over the trunks so it looks like they’re having sex. Turns out it’s really really easy to make it look gay(er).

    Probably just a coincidence that Paramount is purchasing UFC exclusive steaming rights in a seven year deal.
