Who is obsessed with who?
You sure you didn’t lift this from Reddit?
I lifted… My attitude… From Reddit???
Lemmy is threatening to be too stupid to be of value.
Can’t bring up science in “science memes” can’t say you haven’t seen a fucking hippo before… Thanks for being part of the problem here!
Baby hippo crypto mascot.
And? 1: the average person gives zero fucks about crypto, so for 99% of people that’s not what it is. 2: calling moo deng a crypto mascot is like calling doge a crypto mascot. It’s just a popular meme that crypto bros decided to appropriate. 3: missed opportunity to call it moon deng. 4: this is literally just a shitcoin. There’s a shitcoin themed around literally everything.
That is the name of a baby hippopotamus.
It got into the news because cute babies.
But it’s stayed in the news mainly because people are assholes.
See, babies sleep a lot. Sleeping is not something zoo goers are excited about on average (me, I would just melt and think it was extra cute).
So, you get assholes going to that zoo and trying to make the baby hippo be entertaining.
Which is, imo, peak asshole. Intentionally waking a baby anything should be punished by being tied to a chair and forced to hear Yoko Ono sing for a week straight. In person would be best, but recorded is acceptable.
That’s it. Cute baby animal + asshole humans = news.
For your entertainment, The baby hippo made an appearance on SNL
Anyone that survives listening to Yoko Ono sing for 3 minutes is stronger than any human that ever lived, let alone an entire week.
Little Richard still turns himself in his grave from the trauma that is the singing of Yoko Ono. Just look at his face the moment Yoko starts screaming
Wait, all these baby hippo posts have been a single baby hippo? I thought people were just posting cute baby hippos.
Despite new evidence to the contrary, I will continue to hold this false belief 🦛
Did you know most people play the game with the wrong rules? Most people play where you try to eat the most marbles. Thats wrong.
The real rules have 1 yellow marble and a ton of white marbles. Whoever eats the yellow marble is the winner.
But the REAL way to have fun with that game is everybody gets naked, puts on eye goggles, and gets handcuffed behind their backs. The push mechanism is covered in spicy peppers, and everybody has to push it with their tongues. All 4 contestants are being tickled by hobos while they compete, and everybody is wearing leather masks over their face so they can’t see.
Now here’s where it starts to get complicated…You need to get an advanced gambling permit from the Nevada gaming and recreation committee, and about 20 midgets…mumble mumble mumble and that’s when you stuff the donuts with viagra…mumble mumble mumble and that’s going to require you to get even MORE cocaine for the strippers moms…mumble mumble mumble…and that’s about the time someone gets Yatzee.
