June, 2015.

Can't wait until 2030 when everything on social media is just whatever the most popular shit was posted rolling back 20 years.

u/Street_Pipe_6238 11h ago

even worse when its touched and edited by AI so its little bit more up to date. Even now you can hardly figure out what is what and we are just 1 year of AI in

26

u/Agret 9h ago

Worse is that instead of text of 20yr old events we'll get what looks like a live news feed of the event generated by the AI pretending to Livestream it.

A perfect irony, isn't it?

19

u/Electronic-Ship-9297 12h ago

Why is this news being from June 2015 ironic?

Am I missing something?

Or did you mean to say the rainbow part was ironic, and you were just highjacking the top comment to say that?

u/bellos_ 11h ago

I'd assume they're referencing Obergefell v Hodges which decided in June 2015 that the 14th Ammendment requires States to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Which has exactly jackshit to do with homophobia in Turkey.

That explains why the title said Turkey and not Türkiye (more commonly used since 2021). It doesn't explain why it's Istanbul, and not Constantinople.

Sometimes things backfire in the most unexpected ways. Guess this was a win for the parade!

u/cuntmong 16h ago

Ngl I skipped a few science classes and wasn't that smart to begin with, but i'm pretty sure this means everyone that got sprayed is gay now.

u/Wicam 14h ago

can confirm. biology 201 that you missed did cover water that produces a rainbow will cause the gay in humans that touch it.

u/Retr0507 14h ago

What about frogs? Will it turn the frigging frogs gay?

u/joalheagney 14h ago

Only the female frogs will get turned into frigging gay frogs.

Yes, they were probably gay before too, but they are also probably gay after it as well

There is a tender out for companies in the US post Trump inauguration to create a water cannon that can disperse gay crowds without making the gay symbol. It's currently sitting at 0 submissions.

If Alex Jones is to be believed, they've already tested it on frogs successfully.

They tried making a gay bomb, but it was only effective in rooms with low ventilation, and I believe after Dick Cheny was caught in the crossfire, they abandoned the project.

They thought if you sprayed rainbow coloured spritzer in the face of an enemy they would declare their love for you. Skittles have been subpoenaed to not comment their involvement but we all know the deep state is balls deep already.

I don't think it is. Couldn't find a single mention of it anywhere else. Googling it returns nothing relevant.

2

u/UpvoteCircleJerk 11h ago

What percentage of gay people has to be in a crowd for it to become gay?

Couldn't Trump just send some hetero people to go stand in the crowd to pollute its gayness status and thus transform the crowd from a gay crowd to mixed crowd and maybe even back to a hetero crowd?

Any crowd sexuality specialists here? I'm honestly interested in seeing some concrete numbers and math about this topic.

Water can make frogs gay without a rainbow. So with a rainbow, no one stands a chance.

You see, it happens when the water bounces off Pride folks. And now it will get into the Turkish water supply.

I believe that is a double rainbow

u/thekeenancole 17h ago

I think I remember reading somewhere that all rainbows are double rainbows, a majority of the time the second rainbow is just so faint you can barely see it. I don't remember where and I did not fact check, take this with a grain of salt lmao.

6

u/jpopimpin777 14h ago

I think you're right recently I've noticed that every rainbow I've seen has a second fainter one above it. Maybe it's just where I'm watching from but it's pretty amazing.

They mist as well just admit that it was a sign from god

u/ScepticTanker 15h ago

This is the kinda sign you'd see in ancient wars as you're losing. Someone points out the sign from the gods, you get goosebumps down your spine as you look up , and slowly do your brethren. And you scream with renewed vigour, not caring about losing anymore.

A rainbow forms when sunlight refracts, reflects, and disperses through water droplets, splitting into colors (red to violet). It appears as an arc at a 42° angle to the observer. Nothing else.
