Oh how i wish this were true!! Of all the onion articles, this might be my fav!

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 months ago

They should make another article with Joe Porter denouncing him to play the glockenspiel

I swear this guy works in a museum for instruments or something.

Thank you! I was about to comment the exact same thing!

Was just thinking the RNC should just compose their own equivalent to the Imperial March and roll with that

[–] mkwt@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Presumably they'd still need to hire a session orchestra to record it. That might be a stumbling block.

I could tell it was the Onion right away, playing an instrument would imply that TFG has a talent for anything other than ranting online and bankrupting businesses

[–] BallsandBayonets@lemmings.world 3 points 6 months ago

They didn't say he was playing well...

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

I love the pic. It’s like this whole story was based on a photoshop contest with a pic from one of his rallies.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Why an onion? Why not parfait? Everybody likes parfait.

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Because you generally don't want to bite into an onion.

[–] clif@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Says you. I find onions delicious.

O no.....

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

It's different if you enjoy a Vidalia onion. You're just that much weirder.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

onions are delicious

A sea of deleted comments. The hell do you even do here?

[–] Quetzalcutlass@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Back on Reddit there were people who set up scripts to automatically delete comments after a set amount of time to prevent people from looking at their history. As you could probably guess, they were usually the most stubborn and argumentative sort on the platform.

Though I've upvoted that user before and I normally don't do that to people being disruptive, so who knows? If only there were some sort of history that would tell me what kind of user they were...

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

We sing. We dance. We are a simple people, sahib.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Can you see when a user has deleted comments?

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I just looked at their profile to see if they were a moron. Basically every comment is deleted.

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Aha! Voyager just shows they have like five comments, but doesn’t show that any have been deleted.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Oh I see now. They show up in connect.
