Have you heard there is a flying car?

I've always wanted a car which is carrying a 10000psi compressed tank that might explode during a car crash

I think Jesus shut up some time ago.

A flying car crash thank you very much!

But his fan base sure haven’t.

There's some dude named Claude now too, so much bickering

I get it, okay, Swifties by-and-large are a very cult-y fanbase.

But I will NOT be pooled in along with the likes of MAGA, slop-generated CP, and Christian Nationalists.

I don't particularly care much on Taylor's stance among all of this, I like her music and it brings me euphoria. She comparatively makes no money from me as I mostly stream her stuff, and anything physical I do own is second-hand; I have not attended a concert of hers either (though, I will admit, if she came to the UK again, I would probably go).

Was ~6 million crashes per year not enough for you?

Don't worry! Now, drivers can also move in a further 2 degrees of freedom!

Yes, one that only seems to mostly fly sustainably in one direction.. Down

You're totally right

They used to be powers for good too. I remember when she took a stand and they helped her. I'm not sure that's the case anymore. They're not talking about you, more of the die hards, trust everything she says, types.

Tbh, I find people bitching about swift fans to be a lot more common and annoying than her fans.

They're culty them swifties but I swear I hear people complain about them more than I actually hear swifties talk about anything. I don't know what corners of the Internet people are on but maybe they should try some new ones

Missed one...

Well, they are all fictional creations of expensive PR teams.

The ven diagram here is a circle.

The ladies will really be impressed when you drive off a cliff and show off the flying capabilities.

Maybe less so when you discover half way down the flying part was an optional extra

Looking forward to some new Darwin award winners. Pity the person who drove their cybertruck into a lake didn't qualify

I love how both Satan and Jesus are in this picture

I think this partly has to do with the typical "bubble" effects of social media, even us Lemmings who opt for a social platform that tries not to create such bubbles or engagement algorithms, the mere fact we use this platform creates a bubble.

I don't mean to generalise, but 9/10 Swifties in a crowd probably use mainstream social media, 7/10 have an iPhone, 8/10 will be posting on Instagram nearly every day.

Almost none of them will be going home to post about it on Lemmy, or Mastodon. Therefore, as us fediverse users tend not to use mainstream social media, we simply don't occupy the same cyberspace as Swifties.

Instead, we occupy the cyberspace that usually attracts opposers to mass-media, or really anything mainstream. Swifties are effectively our opposites, and thus friction is quite inevitable.

You get anomalies of course, à la me, but, like any anomaly, it's rare.

Let alone if you had the optional extra, you know for a fact these thrusters are Thrust-by-Wire...

But that bubble effect is kind of my point. Here on Lemmy I can't honestly recall every hearing anything from a swifty that wasn't started by things like OPs post complaining about swifties.

Like, we're on Lemmy, why are you (OP not you) bringing swifty stuff here? They're making the problem for themselves.

You (actual you not OP) are the extent of my swifty experience here, someone mentioning they enjoy the music but disagree with the politics, and that's only usually in response to Swifty bashing in the first place

1 of these is not like the others, one of these thing just isn't the same, can you guess which....

You seem rather conflicted

Swifties respond to being called out the same way men respond to posts that blatantly paint every man with one broad brush stroke. The irony is in just how much that venn diagram crosses over.

Actually, what I love most is how quickly right wingers are arguing about how awesome electric cars are..

And apparently lefties don't understand anything about EVs 😂

Christian nationalists are explicitly by the very teachings of Jesus, not Christian.

They use the lords name in vain every day.

My Christian grandmother housed immigrants in her own damn home literally until the day she died a few years ago. Y’all really need to stop generalizing extremely diverse populations. You don’t help your causes or win elections excluding huge swaths of the voting base if you purely want to be analytical about it.

Edit: Oh of fucking course, tankie instance. That’s on me for not checking before hand.

Oh no, am I gunna need a sticker for mine that says I got it before the “flying” car stunt? Similar to the tesla stickers about getting it before they knew he was insane?

:p

I'm with you. ✊

I don't think I've ever met a Swift fan

2 Timothy 3:13

But evil people and impostors will flourish. They will deceive others and will themselves be deceived.

John 8:44

44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

You have. They're just the odd one out in this meme, because they're not all insufferable about it.

There are a couple swifties in my extended family. All it is, is that they talk about things she's doing and they don't care about things she does wrong. It's not that big of a deal, compared to the other 3 especially.

What if I told you this is exactly how you know you're too far gone 🤭
