Personally I'd say it's the hero being an orphaned "chosen one", or maybe the damsel in distress trope. But maybe it depends on what kind of media you consume.

You know we're on the internet and you can just look stuff up instead of making it up.

The title makes it sound like the body was there for a week.

The body was there for a few hours while they sent the employees back to work. Then it was removed. Then they hid it for a week.

I am aware of at least one real instance of this happening. Not the hat burning, but my wife is Facebook friends with an old coworker of hers who is self-identified MAGA. This is his latest post, under the Trump/Jesus picture:

Always been a fan of the guy, but the last 3-4 months I've lost all respect for him. Has turned into Israel's puppet with this war, turned the entire world against us by joining a side that is quite literally murdering thousands of innocents left and right in Gaza and Lebanon, and now posting this blasphemous shit, on the day of Orthodox Easter, no less. Fuck him.

I don't know if this is happening in numbers significant enough for it to matter, but it's one real case.

Just in case anyone hadn't heard this one before: Abcde is pronounced "Absidy", which is more of a real name.

Did you not understand that I was talking about immigration? Which is one of the ways we solve that. All of that.

Besides which we're actually talking about keeping the population stable. A declining population is bad for everyone economically. Luckily population growth naturally slows down in modernized societies, which is why allowing people to immigrate is good for everyone.

The replacement rate is down to 1.56, meaning every couple is having, on average, 1.56 children in the United States. We need two or above to keep the population at the same amount.

There's actually another way to keep the population up, and it's great for America economically and culturally, and it makes the world a better place at the same time.

It's LLM-generated. I've seen this tweet discussed in a few different places now and I'm surprised I'm the only one pointing this out.

The spelling, grammar and sentence structure are too good for it to be Trump. It's too coherent and fact-based, but it's also too cohesive. It meanders like Trump, but then it gets back to the point. It's presenting a formulaic argument. That's something LLMs always do and Trump never does.

It's also loaded with em dashes. There is no possibility that Trump used an em dash on purpose.

Trump probably put the prompt into ChatGPT himself and then didn't bother to read it.

Military coups usually don't install a democracy.

I just read the whole rant, and it's clearly and without a doubt generated by an LLM.

The grammar and spelling are too good. It's also too coherent, but more importantly it's too cohesive. It meanders a lot but eventually returns to the point. It's trying to present a formulaic argument the way LLMs always do, and in a way that Trump never has.

It also hits on points that Trump would never mention, like that Sandy Hook wasn't a hoax.

And just in case there's any doubt, it's loaded with em dashes.

Fun Fox Fact: the word "geckering" refers to the laughter-like sound made by several mammals including hyenas and monkeys, but the word "gekkering" is used specifically to foxes.

I made this meme a few years ago and posted it to reddit. It immediately got gold and then barely any upvotes. I've always wanted to find a place to repost it, because it's a joke I'm proud of.

I think she likes it here because we don't seed grass, so there's lots of clover for her to munch on. I'm not sure where she sleeps, but some days she sits in the same spot all day.

She still runs from the kids sometimes, but I can walk just a few feet away from her and she'll just watch.

And I definitely didn't accidentally step on any crayons in the process.
