Cute theory, let's play it out.
A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last.
But... oh wait, there is no pile.
It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded.
The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it.
Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0.
The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession.
But it gets worse.
Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all.
Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees.
So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked.
So the monkeys sit there.
No bananas.
No rockets.
No coordinates to get more banananas.
Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer.
OH
And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.
If Trump had lost, America’s entire 250th 4th of July would be about gay pride, apologizing for a history we shouldn’t be apologizing for… and DEI nonsense.
@nytimes@TheAthletic The only thing truly problematic about America is the number of self-hating dipshits who refuse to appreciate its greatness.
Also, GFY 🇺🇸
This is a Bret "The Hitman" Hart & chicken tenders appreciation post. Repost if you are a fan of both Bret "The Hitman" Hart & chicken tenders.
Holy shit.
Trump is not messing around. He just dropped a precision strike on Tren de Aragua leader, Niño Guerrero, right in the middle of the opening USA World Cup match.
Deep State assets around the world are being cleaned up.
It’s happening.
On the 23rd of July 1990, the best chip in the world was quietly killed off, and almost nobody was told.
For half a century McDonald's fried its fries in beef tallow. Rendered cow fat, off the same animal that made the burger. A potato cooked in it browns in a way no vegetable oil can copy. Watch the face of a sixty-five-year-old when you mention it.
Then a Nebraska businessman named Phil Sokolof, who had survived a heart attack and decided saturated fat was the villain, spent millions of his own money on full-page ads headlined The Poisoning of America, naming McDonald's directly. The company folded and switched the fryers to vegetable oil.
Here is what he swapped in. Polyunsaturated oil is a fragile molecule, packed with weak double bonds that oxygen rips apart the moment it heats. Hold it at frying temperature all day, reheat it, top it up, and it goes rancid in the vat, throwing off aldehydes, reactive compounds that damage DNA and are tied to heart disease, cancer and dementia. British chemists who heated sunflower and corn oil clocked those aldehydes at twenty times the World Health Organisation limit. One fish supper fried in the stuff carried up to two hundred times the safe daily dose.
Tallow does none of this. Saturated fat gives oxygen almost nothing to attack, so it sits in the fryer stable and unbothered. It is the most stable frying fat there is, which is why every cook before 1980 reached for it.
So they pulled the stable fat a heart patient feared and dropped in an unstable one that turns toxic the instant it heats. Then they sprayed the potato with a plant-derived compound labelled natural beef flavour, a laboratory ghost of the cow, to cover the absence of the real one.
Call it an apology if you prefer. Apologies do not oxidise, and they are not deep-fried and fed to three generations of children. What McDonald's served after 1990 was closer to a sentence, carried out quietly at a hundred and eighty degrees, one fryer at a time. The tallow, meanwhile, is still in the animal, exactly where it always worked best.
@IndianaFever Considering the Fever have already got caught lying about the injury report. So there’s at least a decent chance that this is really a suspension, for daring to throw a game winning pass to CC.
So like if it was 20 votes, I’d understand. There’s going to be a reasonable margin of error.
But it’s 18,000 votes, all for Spencer Pratt that have been rejected. That’s not an accident.
It’s treason.
Committed by the people who want to “defend democracy” whatever that means.
I don’t have a horse in this race. But it sure looks like the NBA decided that it’s a bad look for Wemby to get swept in his first finals. So the refs step in to even the series.
