    At first glance I read that as “erection”, and tbf you’re probably right either way lmao

    On a side note, I’m out of the loop on the origins of the couch fucking gag, and am really not sure I want to look it up lol can anyone give me the gist (unless this meme is it, in which case, did someone set him up for this, or is it really just “horny loser confuses sofa for juicy rear”?)

      JD Vance having wrote in his book that he fucked a couch is misinformation originating from Twitter, but it is also Lemmy’s shitpost trend of the month.

      What made this one special is that AP retracted a fact check on it since it was published without meeting its guidelines and was trying to debunk the wrong question (It was debunking whether Vance fucked a couch instead of whether he wrote in his book that he did). But that fueled the fire to the stupidly hilarious chain of memes.

      A random Twitter user made up some bullshit and then everyone thought it was funny and obsessively repeated it. I don’t find it funny or helpful myself, though

        But you’re doing it wrong. You have to make juvenile, belittling jokes for your tribe while decrying the belittling, juvenile jokes made by the other tribe.

          Good forbid anyone might have a bit of a laugh at the expense of the person who literally wants to get elected in order to opress them.

          Some people do not deserve respect. Especially pompous wannabe tyrants.

              You should have heard what people were saying about Hitler during WW2. They even wrote songs about his testicles. Outrageous disrespect.

        Did you think Ted Cruz being the Zodiac Killer was funny?

          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
