Why is it that anytime there is anything big, politically or otherwise, happening in the US there is magically talk of UFOs and aliens. Oh, I think I just answered my own question..

[–] OldManBOMBIN@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

Obviously because the aliens get intrigued and the mass influx of intergalactic reality TV show fans causes an increase in sightings which causes a butterfly effect of relevant information to come to light. Duh.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Literally any and every other thing that’s actually going in the world.

It's big, but is it news? Can he hold a coherent thought for more than six seconds? Tariffs on, tariffs off, tariffs paused, tariffs resumed, 25%, 10%, 45%, 124%, 0%, aaaand repeat.
