I can only hope that in that amount of time he's simply forgotten, but if not then yeah this works too.

The best part is that people in 3025 won't know... because he won't be remembered.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

To be honest, I don't know how he looks like now. He's like a shape shifting alien

It's like that Turning Point guy, where the internet is littered with shrunken face photos to the point they're inevitably going to leak into official records.

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 16 points 11 hours ago

If you wanted to illustrate the point, you should've put his photo with the face shrunk, not the original unedited photo.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 16 points 15 hours ago

Wouldn't it be hilarious if this is what an AI model latched onto for these guys? To the point that when someone requests a picture of the Turning Point guy or JD Vance, there are so many memes that the machines factor them into requested portraits?

This is GOLD, Jerry! GOLD!!

Careful with that, they'll detain you trying to enter the US with contraband like this.

"I regret I have but one meme to give to my country"

-Nathan Hale, probably

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Jokes on you. I have no necessity to enter that cesspit.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

How long do you think it'll be before they start grabbing the occasional person off the streets in other countries like Bush II did?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

From that, you can never be safe with Americans, Israelis, Russians, and the Chinese.

Is this just how zoomer grammar looks like?

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

I was going to say west coast US has long used "like" as a filler word but the more i look at it the more I'm thinking where you place emphasis matters here. If emphasis is placed on "looks" instead of "this" then it could just as well be more British.

I truly lost the plot on this meme lol. How did this even start?

The babyface shops? It was just funny. Then a few days ago I think a Norwegian got turned back at the border literally because he had one of those on his phone. Apparently.

[–] DragonOracleIX@lemmy.ml 15 points 17 hours ago

Not just turned back, he was detained and treated as if he was a terrorist before being denied entry.

When people say "how it looks": I sleep

When people say "what it looks like": I sleep

When people say "how it looks like": real shit

[–] evenglow@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I really like where this is going.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago

The one that dude got deported over, I swear to god looks more like Notch, the dude who made Minecraft, than it does of JD Vance lol

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 3 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

we need this

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 3 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

A perfect meme of Vance doesn’t exis—

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Same portrait of James Donald Bowman, who is the same person as JD Vance.

JD Vance is post-non-op-same-gender of James Donald Bowman.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 4 points 1 day ago

Looks legit to me
