can you imagine being a historian having to study, characterize, and teach these clips to students.

like instead of WW2 tanks videos, and WW1 trench videos, we will teach these, and the context

They'll probably omit this to make it boring on purpose. There was a ton of hilarious and awesome stuff in newspapers in the early 20th century.

crazy how that other doctor comes out of nowhere and hits doctor trump

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 10 points 6 days ago

That's actually based af. The only thing it's missing is changing the patient to be Epstein

[–] Goldmage263@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago

It's interesting to think that, if anyone was to be smited, my blaspheming rear would be far down the list.

Its crazy how much the two governments are alike.

"THIS is how you do a Red Cross"

[–] Ron@zegheteens.nl 5 points 6 days ago

What did Jon Stewart do to Trump?

[–] D1re_W0lf@piefed.social 149 points 1 week ago (3 children)

So… Trump praises Allah and the Iranians defend Jesus. Definitely did not have that on my 2026 bingo card.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This isn't defending Jesus. Jesus violently punching Trump is also blasphemy.

Hilarious blasphemy, though.

Idk, he flipped tables and chased/threw people out in a church, from my limited understanding.

[–] itslola@lemmy.world 80 points 1 week ago (5 children)

You're aware that Jesus features in the Quran as well as the Bible, right...? Highly respected figure in Islam, not at all surprising that Iran would be defending him.

Allah is God. Why do so many people not know that?

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago (7 children)

Because according to people who don't understand the religion they claim to follow, Allah is a different god.

I’m just happy we have finally found such a productive use of AI.

All the job loss was really worth it for this.

[–] Karmanopoly@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And the destruction of our environment and water supply too

[–] desertdruid@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 6 days ago

And the spike in RAM, SSD, HDD and GPU prices

[–] mech@feddit.org 68 points 1 week ago

Begun, the Meme Wars have.

[–] JensSpahnpasta@feddit.org 46 points 1 week ago (8 children)

I'm really fascinated by those tweets by the iranian embassies: The USA is waging war against Iran and the Iranians are allowed to spread their own war propaganda with their official accounts on US platforms.

[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 51 points 1 week ago (4 children)

first of all, it's a special military operation. So jot that down.

[–] FudgyMcTubbs@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Practically everybody in the Trump administration has referred to it as a "war." Just because congress lacks the balls to assert its own authority, that doesn't make this less of a war.

But yes, "special military operation" -- noted.

The true AI wars have begun.

[–] libre_warrior@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago

I love how anticlimatic the content of the word is in that case X)

The one where the guy on the table is jeffery epstein is better.

[–] TheFlopster@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I notice something new every loop.

Even Iran uses white Jesus? C'mon.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 week ago

They're making these for a western audience, so yes.

"JESUS FROM THE TOP ROPE! BY GAWD HE HAD A FAMILY!"

[–] PhoenixDog@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

Good. Do his family next.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (4 children)

And people claim there is no good use case for AI...

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I’m still not convinced that either of these are good uses….

What scares me is that we once had to read political platforms to elect someone and to look to the newspapers or evening news to help us stay informed. And as technology progressed, we have found dumber and dumber reasons to form opinions about global events - we don’t like someone’s voice, or they wore the wrong outfit, or the building looks shabby. And now we enter a world where we are going to judge people and events based on fabricated material, which I find terrifying.
