Previous government efforts to boost the sale of seal products have also failed, noted Fink. As an example, she pointed to a 2014 plan which recommended the Fisheries and Oceans department try to revive the market for the sale of seal penises.

Nothing says buy seal penises like... Taylor swift?

Is the simulation collapsing into a Swift-ularity? She's suddenly at the center of everything, including seal meat. Wtf

Is the simulation collapsing into a Swift-ularity?

Certainly seems so.
Taylor Swift is the only important person in the world according to the news.

I mean I like her music, but if you asked me a couple of years ago who's going to be shaking the world in 2024, definitely wouldn't say Taylor Swift.

I don't think I've ever heard a single song of hers.

If your young, it's not that difficult to avoid music.

But she was huge like 20 years ago as a country singer, went to pop, and now makes slightly more grown up pop.

If you're over 30 and American you've 100% heard one of her songs because radio was still a thing back then.

Wow. I thought she was about 30? I assume she didn’t start her career as an infant.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What?

She's like 35 and was one of the biggest country singers as a teenager, so about 20 years ago...

I said "over 30" because you'd have to be at least 10 to remember it, a toddler wouldn't remember the song on the radio

I’m not really a radio person. Grew up in a poor family in Sweden, so we never had a car, which is where most listen to radio.

My sleep addled mind made her out to be like 50 and was really shocked because she don’t look the part. Makes sense if she’s around 35.
