Yeah, my hot take here is that the church wanted an American pope to be able to clap back at Trump, and try to sway some of his religious supporters.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Yup. At least for the folks who are actually religious… I am very curious to see how this will play out. Are most of these r β€œChristian” voters actually Christian or just playing an act.

Trump 2 changed the calculus

[–] CuddlyCassowary@lemmy.world 62 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Pope Francis was from S. America, so technically this is not the first American pope.

Quick question: what is the demonym (a word used to identify people who are from a particular place) of the people from the USA?

Morons feels more accurate. As a moron anyway.

US-American, often abbreviated to just American.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 2 weeks ago

American. Or if we're being a little silly 'Murican.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

In the opposite way that when saying Asians no one thinks of Russians, no one thinks of Chileans when you say Americans.

Amusingly, the very first search result I got for "US americans" is Exactly what I thought it would be

[–] usjelo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I think "US-American" is the most accurate, least controversial, and most grammatically correct one there is πŸ˜…

Here in Murica the colloquial meaning of an unqualified "America" is "the United States of America" its just the way we speak Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

The big ol' typo in this meme makes it work even better.

Covfefe is probably served at conclvaves.

Conkla-vavies!

It's a satire account

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

I'm starting to think we live in a Neal Breen movie.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

No... no... NOOOOOO!!!! IT MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE!!!!!

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

If you have 2 hours that you just really fucking hate and want them to suffer, watch β€œFateful Findings” on Youtube. Someone uploaded it and since Neal Breen publishes and distributes all his own movies, Youtube doesn’t scan for them as copywritten.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Update: I watched it. This shit is up there with The Room. Distractingly awful.

That ending. I would have thought the President of Bank could have come up with an original way to off himself.

And why did Neil have to say every line twice? Why did he have to say each line twice?

They're fine, along with my title-less identical books

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Homie. He doesn't make movies. He makes ART!!!

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 weeks ago

Don't watch it alone, it's actually mentally exhausting. I managed two alone, no more. Watch it with at least one other person so you can snark it as you watch. Fateful Findings was probably the worst. If you're not brave enough to face them alone, Kurtis Conner and Space Ice have snarks of the full films.

Also his films do get taken off YouTube for copyright. Internet archive has the full collection though.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I like to stream bad movies in the background while I work, but they can't be distractingly bad, like Ghost Rider 2 ... I'll check it out.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's a simulation, and they're just fucking with us now.

[–] ProfessorProteus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

We need #EyesOnBreen right now

An American pope? In this economy?

[–] socsa@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It worked in Blazing Saddles 🀷

[–] HakunaHafada@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago

Dank reference. 🫢

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh fun, I look forward to American gun insanity getting mixed into the Catholicism.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Priests and Nuns do have great kit for concealed carry.

[–] Absaroka@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm sure the new pope is honored to have CitiesByDiana congratulating him.

Conclvave sounds like something you see a doctor about after a week locked in a room with hookers and blow.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Damn is wild to not even know any Latin...

It's real, this is a meme Instagram account.

[–] zarathustra0@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Real but satirical? I'm okay with that.

I wonder if he’s going to turn himself into a sandworm.
