While most April fools steal your time and leave you head scratching, this one can potentially give you a lot of time back. I like it.

The Venn diagram of 4chan posters and DOGE staff is probably close to a circle

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 89 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's more like a donut. Not all 4chan posters are DOGE staff, but all DOGE staff are /pol/ afficionados.

[–] wtckt@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Affionados - they're posting the stuff you think is just satire/shit posting but they're dead serious about it.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

They're affionados of /pol/itically incorrect views. I chose that specific board for a reason :)

Aficionados kinda makes me think of having a sense of taste, while /pol/ sound to me like eating shit so I'm not sure 😅

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

They do have a sense of taste... it's just overwhelmingly rancid.

[–] Aux@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago

People like eating shit and drinking piss. Every fermented food and drink, be it bread or beer, is full of bacteria and yeast shit and piss. Somehow humans find microbe excrements very tasty.

Cry more 4chan bitches.

So terminally online can't handle going without for a few hours. Pathetic.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 50 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You commented at least once every hour for the previous 11 hours since this comment lol

Which is fine, but come on. We are all terminally online these days. Granted, at least we aren't doing it on 4chan.

My point was I'm not gonna lose my shit if Lemmy goes offline.

I somewhat respect that form of protest, actually. Some users fuming over this is probably the point the admins are trying to make. They created a sort of „and then they came for me…“ situation.

lol the fuckin shleemies shittin themselves just because they thought they couldn’t access their internet meth for a bit

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 38 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can’t imagine getting angry because I couldn’t use one website for one day.

Based fediverse user:

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It would be funny if it weren't so pathetic.

[–] Dropper_Post@lemm.ee 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think it was quite funny. Better than no joke on april the 1st

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

It honestly is funny, but it's just even more pathetic how the CHUDs couldn't handle it.

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

[–] j4yt33@feddit.org 5 points 1 day ago
