    You know the weird shit about this headline? If it hadn’t been from The Onion, this could have been a real statement from RFK Jr.

      As I was scrolling the post up and read the headline, I was completely ready to believe it actually happened until I scrolled enough to see the link to the onion.

      Years ago, I would have immediately recognised this as an Onion article. Today, I have to admit that I didn’t recognise it before clicking on the link and seeing the page.

        Recently there’s been multiple onion articles that made my heart drop in the moments before realizing it was the onion.

        And then one actually wound up being true days later

    I’m researching how to sneak a Komodo dragon into RFK’s bedroom so it will eat him while he sleeps.

      Komodo hunt by biting a limb, then waiting for the target to die from infected wounds after several days. No restful sleep for RFK, not until the moment is nigh.

        The komodo bacteria will have to compete with all the weird shit that’s already in his body though. So it’s not a sure thing.

    I fully ate the Onion with the headline. Absolutely no doubt, just resignation. Only coincidentally saw the community.

      What’s more dumb? Not believing in dinosaurs despite us having bones to prove their existence or believing in dragons which aren’t that far off from the dinosaurs? I guess the crazy thing is believing dragons exist on earth right now and they are living somewhere unbeknownst to man.
      And besides, space dragons are way cooler anyways.

        Basically and I think also from a Joe Rogan podcast. My Christian high school also taught about them in science class and pulled photos from shady websites to convince people most of whom actually believed it.

      My older brother thought dragons existed, because of this “documentary”.

    Chinese propaganda depicting dragons as ‘lame floating snakes with mustaches’. I’m so offended! 😆

    Does this make Game of Thrones a documentary, or a nature program?
