The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

For the love of god don't look it up. If you've made it this far without hearing it, just count your blessings. It's worse than you can possibly imagine.

You have no idea how much pain I'm willing to inflict on myself in order to get the reference. Your warning has been heard, but it will not be heeded

Edit: oof

This is a masterpiece

So, now that you have the benefit of hindsight, what do you think? Was the warning justified? Is your relationship with curiosity still the same?

It was pretty cringe, the lyrics were god awful and they were way too liberal with the auto tune. Thankfully Elon is so unimaginative that he couldn't think of more than one verse for his war crime of a song so there weren't any surprises after ~10 seconds in. I would say the warning was justified, but a little overstated. I thought we were gonna be on Angelic 2 the Core levels of bad and it was just Friday bad. My relationship with my curiosity remains the same. As long as it isn't (real) gore, I'll probably click on it
