Yeah, my hot take here is that the church wanted an American pope to be able to clap back at Trump, and try to sway some of his religious supporters.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Yup. At least for the folks who are actually religious… I am very curious to see how this will play out. Are most of these r β€œChristian” voters actually Christian or just playing an act.

Trump 2 changed the calculus

Pope Francis was from S. America, so technically this is not the first American pope.

Quick question: what is the demonym (a word used to identify people who are from a particular place) of the people from the USA?

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 14 points 2 months ago
[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

US-American, often abbreviated to just American.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago

American. Or if we're being a little silly 'Murican.

[–] Tikiporch@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

In the opposite way that when saying Asians no one thinks of Russians, no one thinks of Chileans when you say Americans.

Amusingly, the very first search result I got for "US americans" is Exactly what I thought it would be

[–] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (13 children)

According to English speakers who didn't understand the proper meaning of words like "continent," it's "Americans." It's stuck around now though.

According to most other languages and nations who use more accurate descriptors, it's closer to "Statesman." You know, people from the 'United States'

Personally I'd say Statesian than Statesman, but it is the same thing

Here in Murica the colloquial meaning of an unqualified "America" is "the United States of America" its just the way we speak Β―\_(ツ)_/Β―

The big ol' typo in this meme makes it work even better.

Covfefe is probably served at conclvaves.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Conkla-vavies!

It's a satire account

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago (5 children)

I'm starting to think we live in a Neal Breen movie.

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

No... no... NOOOOOO!!!! IT MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE!!!!!

[–] BmeBenji@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

If you have 2 hours that you just really fucking hate and want them to suffer, watch β€œFateful Findings” on Youtube. Someone uploaded it and since Neal Breen publishes and distributes all his own movies, Youtube doesn’t scan for them as copywritten.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Update: I watched it. This shit is up there with The Room. Distractingly awful.

That ending. I would have thought the President of Bank could have come up with an original way to off himself.

And why did Neil have to say every line twice? Why did he have to say each line twice?

They're fine, along with my title-less identical books

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Homie. He doesn't make movies. He makes ART!!!

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I like to stream bad movies in the background while I work, but they can't be distractingly bad, like Ghost Rider 2 ... I'll check it out.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

It's a simulation, and they're just fucking with us now.

We need #EyesOnBreen right now

An American pope? In this economy?

[–] socsa@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It worked in Blazing Saddles 🀷

[–] HakunaHafada@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Dank reference. 🫢

Oh fun, I look forward to American gun insanity getting mixed into the Catholicism.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Priests and Nuns do have great kit for concealed carry.

[–] Absaroka@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm sure the new pope is honored to have CitiesByDiana congratulating him.

Conclvave sounds like something you see a doctor about after a week locked in a room with hookers and blow.

It's real, this is a meme Instagram account.

[–] zarathustra0@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Real but satirical? I'm okay with that.
