WASHINGTON—Stating that it was as easy to prepare 330 million helpings as one, President Joe Biden announced Thursday that he was reheating chili if anyone was interested. “I’m going to pop some chili into the microwave in a minute or so if anyone wants some,” said Biden, who raised his eyebrows as he gestured emphatically at the large container of leftover meat and beans and repeated “anyone want in on this?” “It smells good. I bet it tastes good, too. It’s from Tuesday, but it should still be good. Better, even. It gives the flavors time to mingle. Alright, last chance if anyone wants any. You’ll need to get past security to get into the White House, but I can arrange that.” At press time, Biden was attempting to entice the nation by shaking a bag of oyster crackers.

Finally a president with some damn sense

You know what? Yeah, I'll fuck with some chili.

[-] joyjoy@lemm.ee 13 points 9 months ago

Don't fuck the chili.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 57 points 9 months ago

Shit. I'd eat chili with Biden.

[-] elliot_crane@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago

Hell yeah, and if secret service didn’t tackle me for taking out my phone to take a selfie, I’d even take my chances and ask if he wants to go for an ice cream cone afterwards.

You offer to hop on amtrak as well and the man would literally hug you.

[-] Lightborne@lemmy.world 34 points 9 months ago

Goddamn this is way funnier than it has any right being

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

I bet the white house kitchen makes bomb chili though

[-] Chozo@kbin.social 8 points 9 months ago

I have no doubt Andre Rush makes a mean-ass chili.

[-] norbert@kbin.social 15 points 9 months ago

A nice bowl of chili deserves a cracker.

[-] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

Can we fire up the grill and throw some dogs on it too?

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

Out of all the shit the Onion puts out, why they gotta joke about some chili? That’s plain evil. EVIL!

[-] toomanypancakes@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago

Seriously, they got no chili chill

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Reminds me of a joke though:

Yo mama so stupid she heard it was gonna be chilly, so she went outside with a bowl and spoon.

[-] moistclump@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Can’t tease me with a headline like that. I got my hopes up and everything.

[-] ctkatz@lemmy.ml 8 points 9 months ago

I'd be interested but I literally just made some yesterday.

[-] IndigoGollum@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Only reheating it for a minute? Soup like foods need a couple minutes on medium-high power if you don't want ðem to be cold or get a microwave skin.

[-] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 6 points 9 months ago

In a minute, not for a minute. As in, 1 minute from now I will be starting the microwave.

I know, I misread it too.

[-] jwt@programming.dev 0 points 9 months ago

Eh, I don't miss it at all.
