THE PROPHECY!

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 74 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is a sign. The second cumming of Christ.

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

Thats it, you won the comments section.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

I always thought "D.C." meant "District of Columbia." TIL from the combination of your username and post that it means "Dildo, Canada."

Kind of a weird name for the capital of an entirely different country.

I thought my hand gesture was a chef's kiss for such a confluence of events. Not sure what you're on about.

Wtf. This is hilarious. Why are men so insecure?

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 days ago

I'm not insecure! YOU'RE INSECURE!

My first thought was ".... Again? They need some better contraceptives" but no, it's the same one... A shame, that would open the door for so many jokes.

I am kind of disappointing this is actually from 2023 though! It needs to cum again.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

The phallus iceberg always rises again it seems (accounting for shrinkage).

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 31 points 2 days ago

Even mother nature looked at our present timeline and said "Yeah...fuck it....let's see how crazy shit can get."

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 29 points 2 days ago (3 children)

You think that's big, you should see the size of it under the water.

[–] FlightyPenguin@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Also, this is what it looks like when it's cold.

Fake news! The entire iceberg does not look like a dick.

It’s just the tip.

[–] Initiateofthevoid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Okay... 2023? How did I miss this? That can't be real. Is it real? Maybe this really is all a simulation. But, like, it's just a game of Sims, and the player started getting bored... It sure would explain a lot.

Finally an article that made me believe I was reading the onion

We're gonna need a bigger M&M's tube....

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Alas, the iceberg lacked staying power: Pretty photographed the 30-foot (9.1 meter) phallic structure on Thursday, April 27. It collapsed the next day.

Hate it when that happens.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If your iceberg lasts more than 3 days, consult a physician

Someone had an interesting "on this day"

[–] cod@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Most of my family is from very near there. I remember when this happened, it was quite the event

[–] xeekei@lemm.ee 8 points 2 days ago (3 children)

What kinda coincidence is this? I feel like someone must've sculpted it.
