It's like that Turning Point guy, where the internet is littered with shrunken face photos to the point they're inevitably going to leak into official records.

[–] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 10 months ago

If you wanted to illustrate the point, you should've put his photo with the face shrunk, not the original unedited photo.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

Wouldn't it be hilarious if this is what an AI model latched onto for these guys? To the point that when someone requests a picture of the Turning Point guy or JD Vance, there are so many memes that the machines factor them into requested portraits?

This is GOLD, Jerry! GOLD!!

I truly lost the plot on this meme lol. How did this even start?

The babyface shops? It was just funny. Then a few days ago I think a Norwegian got turned back at the border literally because he had one of those on his phone. Apparently.

[–] DragonOracleIX@lemmy.ml 17 points 10 months ago

Not just turned back, he was detained and treated as if he was a terrorist before being denied entry.

Thanks; updated.

Careful with that, they'll detain you trying to enter the US with contraband like this.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Jokes on you. I have no necessity to enter that cesspit.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How long do you think it'll be before they start grabbing the occasional person off the streets in other countries like Bush II did?

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

From that, you can never be safe with Americans, Israelis, Russians, and the Chinese.

"I regret I have but one meme to give to my country"

-Nathan Hale, probably

[–] bufalo1973@europe.pub 13 points 10 months ago

The best part is that people in 3025 won't know... because he won't be remembered.

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

hey man leave clarinets out of this.

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

JD: This one time, at band camp …

Is this just how zoomer grammar looks like?

[–] untorquer@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

I was going to say west coast US has long used "like" as a filler word but the more i look at it the more I'm thinking where you place emphasis matters here. If emphasis is placed on "looks" instead of "this" then it could just as well be more British.

When people say "how it looks": I sleep

When people say "what it looks like": I sleep

When people say "how it looks like": real shit

[–] evenglow@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

I really like where this is going.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 10 months ago

The one that dude got deported over, I swear to god looks more like Notch, the dude who made Minecraft, than it does of JD Vance lol

[–] DokiDokiCT@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I can only hope that in that amount of time he's simply forgotten, but if not then yeah this works too.

[–] GuyFawkes@midwest.social 4 points 10 months ago

Looks legit to me

[–] BuckWylde@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago
[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Same portrait of James Donald Bowman, who is the same person as JD Vance.

JD Vance is post-non-op-same-gender of James Donald Bowman.

we need this

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

A perfect meme of Vance doesn’t exis—

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

To be honest, I don't know how he looks like now. He's like a shape shifting alien
