Ah yes, because the US has a history of just accepting no for an answer and absolutely does not use coercion and violence to get the desired outcome.

I'm out of the loop and also not American. Can somebody elaborate please?

Trump wants to buy Greenland and Canada, rename the gulf of Mexico to the gulf of America, and take control of the Panama canal

I feel like I’ve read snappier slogans.

Baseless AI hate. Get a new hobby

Can't afford a hobby.

To the extent that the billboard never existed while the image implies it did – sure.

I love the term ‘slop’. It’s one of my favorite new words along with ‘nontent’.

But this, to me, isn’t that. I think of slop as ‘unrequested, unconvincing, lazy, and lifeless’. In short, ineffective and unwelcome.

I feel like this meme gets the message across. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible. The AI tells are subtle enough: the multi lane pileup in the background and some poor small size text rendering.

Not sure why I felt the need to write this. Guess I’m of the opinion that just because something is AI-generated doesn’t mean it should be discounted immediately, unless it really feels like zero effort went into it. Have a nice day!

Yeah, I feel like there isn't much of a difference between taking an existing picture and editing the text into it or using AI to generate a picture and editing the text into it.

Because I think the text looks way too good to be done by AI.

that was close, almost upvoted.

I mean the message is good, but the medium is, well slop.

Boy in a candy store mentality, although surprised he knew how to zoom out on google maps.

I think I figured out one reason Trump is going after Greenland. It looks huge on a Mercator Projection map even though it isn’t that large.

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago

Look at it, it's almost as bit as Africa! We haven't found who is the president of Africa, so we had to make do with Greenland though.

pretty sure I’ve seen this joke like 6 times lol but I guess with Trump the dumbest answer is unfortunately often the correct one

[–] Yggnar@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago

My guess is that it has to do with rights to the ocean floor.

[–] KryptonNerd@slrpnk.net 0 points 5 days ago

Oh wow, this actually makes sense now

[–] grue@lemmy.world 0 points 5 days ago

That is genuinely stupid enough to be plausible.

With Tump back in the office, soon enough they’ll be auctioning off federal lands and the postal service. Privatization is back on the menu.
