“Redditors can’t resist repeating the same joke on a thread of hundreds of comments over and over again” - https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1k484c0/pope_francis_has_died_the_vatican_camerlengo/mo82yqt/

  1. Because many people replaced religion with politics and are obsessed with it now. “Oh look at those kittens.” “I heard insert politician owned kittens once, fuck those kittens!!” https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1k484c0/pope_francis_has_died_the_vatican_camerlengo/mo84y0b/

  2. It’s honestly comical. I get that reddit is mostly American but does this ever get tiring - https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1k484c0/pope_francis_has_died_the_vatican_camerlengo/mo850wl/

  3. It’s a problem all over Reddit, no matter what the subject is people are constantly in a rush to make jokes…very unfunny ones at that… - https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1k484c0/pope_francis_has_died_the_vatican_camerlengo/mo85baq/

  4. Ikr instead of focusing on this man’s accomplishments they find a way to make this about American politics - https://old.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1k484c0/pope_francis_has_died_the_vatican_camerlengo/mo85oz3/

    If it were only Reddit and not the entire American population behaving in LOL LOL LMAO amused at Elon Musk, JD Vance, RFK Jr, Donald Trump. Rudy was removed from this year’s stage, but Elon Musk sidekick and his second stage of DOGE performers has done much more to turn the USA into a total joke on the world stage to a population who finds it all so entertaining / amusing.

    Everything is Twitter reaction comments in year 2024 and year 2025. Everyone is behaving and mimicking Donald Trump mannerisms and behaviors of Tweet-think, Elon Musk behaviors of Twitter-think. Americans can not resist copying the behavior of White House performers. Status Symbols like JD Vance and Pope together is comedy gold to all the people in USA.

    That’s why all these people keep going to the top of society / federal government, they have their finger on Internet consumers of junk memes and antics audience laugh-track comedy. A 78 year old Reality TV star is America’s great taste in meme-joke Twitter-reaction engagement.

      Happens here on Lemmy too. Seems like that’s how the Internet of today works

      That’s why I’m pointing it out: twitter behavior has taken over the White House and all social media platforms.

    Just in response to that comment saying “this is WORLD news, not everything is about America.”

    Have you seen that picture of the ex South Korean president wearing a ‘Make Korea Great Again’ hat? Did you see the ‘Make Europe Great Again’ clowns that were in the news a couple of months ago? Did the see the headlines about the USA dictating to the UK about hate speech policies? Did you hear about what the UK supreme court recently ruled, conveniently a couple of months into the Trump administration and in the middle of them making demands? Have you ever heard of this American platform called ‘Twitter / X’ that has been getting blamed for the rise of misinformation and right wing figures across the world? Facebook perhaps? How about the USA wanting to annex Canada and Greenland? Heard about that?

    Like it or not, American news IS world news. And now more than ever would be the dumbest time to stick your head in the ground and stop paying attention to what’s going on over there.
