    Yes. Because it was absurd and not at all believable. I never had to Google it to see if it was true or based on truth.

      That’s just because the world was less crazy back then. Normally you’d know this was a joke but reality has been so absurd

        The world might seem more absurd now, but it is absolutely more believable that he made some awkward remark about couches once that came out weird. So I looked it up and no, just some idiot lying flat out. That’s why it really annoys me people won’t rise an inch above Republicans on this. I mean honestly it barely would be funny if he literally did allude to fucking a couch.

          Lol what? I knew immediately he didn’t fuck a couch, and would need proof to believe it. Have better internet hygiene ffs. That’s on you.

              Lol you’re literally the one being judgemental here about people joking and because you personally didn’t immediately pick up it was a joke, then everyone else who is joking is wrong. I think you’re the douche here

                Nice job intuiting my inner feelings. What I said was that I don’t find the joke helpful. We are supposed to be better than Republicans. They are the ones who typically make shit up.

                But sure you were totally justified essentially calling me an idiot unable to Google even though that’s literally what I did to even be able to comment what I did.

                  That’s not what I said, which you’ll notice because i didn’t use those words.

                  You didn’t like the joke because it wasn’t obvious it was a joke, right? Or are you a different user? Sorry if so, bc Lemmy’s reply system is not good on mobile for me

                    You didn’t understand at all. I perhaps paraphrased you incorrectly but in my defense, it would be hard for me to interpret “use better internet hygiene ffs, that’s on you” as anything but terribly insulting.

                    Again, all I ever meant to imply here is that making something up out of thin air, which sounds remotely plausible, is especially juvenile and unhelpful. If you don’t agree, fine, but I don’t appreciate the attitude about it. Being disappointed in your compatriots is not quite the offense you seem to think it is…
