Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

^ The person who posted that has been for quite a ride. It was a joke and using his own words "now I have 7,000 angry rednecks coming after me".

Artful trolling, in the context of the incredibly awful Facebook group it was posted in. Strong work.

I posted the photo in the Politics and Sociology group for a joke as it clearly isn't a very serious group, then Wednesday night it began popping up on my news feed and I started getting messages from people who took it too seriously.
I still am surprised at how many people took it seriously, it was intended to be a joke and so I am glad that many people have gotten a good laugh out of it.

Didn't know that but I did realise it was a joke, I'm not an American

I think the fact its a joke makes it all the funnier. The number of people who agreed with him is amazing.

Obv. a joke, planes can fly over land FFS

I don't think its a coincidence that after a quick look at the profiles of the people who fully believed him are also anti vaxxers, flat earthers and WEF/Soros conspiracy theorists.

laugh or cry?

Electricity (synthetic, from assembled voltaic piles or dynamos etc.) is named after natural electricity, from amber which holds static charge, which is called electrum in Latin from the Greek ἤλεκτρον

The first Europeans to encounter the electric eel would probably have been Portugese, in which language it is called Poraquê. That seems to be taken from the names given to it by the indigenous peoples where it is found, e.g. Pyrake in Kariña, Purake in Kokama, Puraké in Nheengatu and others.

Genuine lol here.

What were strawberries called before we started growing them above straw?
