You get used to it when it’s been sinking since before you were born.

Please add 50lbs each to make this more believable lievable as "Americans"

Wait I think I know this boat. I am pretty sure it is a sunk boat in miami that was there for a really long time. A lot of people used to go canoe over to it and take pictures.

[–] oxideseven@lemmy.ca 2 points 29 minutes ago

Yup. I've been there. There was an older nastier one in Palm Beach too. But not nearly the tourist trap as this one

there was a similar situation near Beaufort SC where a decently large catamaran from the 80s was anchored out in the bay for years.

old empty boat. big enough for a large galley and other rooms

i hopped up on it in the daytime a few times. it was crazy

I went to a concert last night and it was surreal. We're just going to sit here and let the train hit us and the world. Mass delusion.

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 2 points 35 minutes ago (1 children)

I ... We're

So you believe you're part of the problem then? Or is it just everyone else who is delusional?

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 4 points 29 minutes ago

I'm absolutely part of the problem

Television affects people’s thinking.

[–] LurkingLuddite@piefed.social 8 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Oh come on, TV is so 60's-90's complaints. These days it's TikTok and YouTube rotting minds.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Certainly. Nobody listened in the 60s-90s either.

It’s not accurate, there’s not enough dead brown people and guns and the water’s not covered in oil and there’s not a giant yacht zooming in the other direction, away from this disaster.

that's fair

The women also need to be reaching 300lbs

Edit: Hey the average weight of American women is 170.8 lbs. Sure 300lb is exaggerating but that means there are a lot much heavier.

Downvote away, that's what people think of us for good reason

Body shaming is pretty unpopular on Lemmy.

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 3 points 24 minutes ago (1 children)

I thought we were American shaming

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 2 points 16 minutes ago

There's better ways to do it.

[–] joeljoelle@piefed.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 hour ago

it was my initial thought at least

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

can’t even afford clothes

That captain is sleeping. No, don't wake him up! That's when he messes up the least.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 minutes ago

The captain is coming down from coke and aggresively steering the ship in ajy way that will get him more

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago

…that’s fair

Epstein holding the camera

They look like adults.

You ever been just sitting in the living room watching TV with your friends/family and look around and notice we're all just staring at screens like zombies? Just day after day of staring at screens, thinking you're doing something but you're not really doing anything? TVs, phones, tablets, monitors. Just screen after screen after screen...

That's what they want.
