Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

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.

And that’s basically it!

Prompt:

Mao Zedong pregnant and glowing, wearing pastel yoga shorts and no shirt. Mao Zedong is pregnant and caressing his belly. Next to him is a cradle with the name "Xi" on it. There is a winnie the pooh poster on the wall.

Who's the pregnant virgin?

That's the sweet part, they both are. I've heard they do a lot of lactation kink stuff.

I read this as "replaced Jesus & Mary Chain in churches".

Same. I had a brief pause where I wondered what I was missing all these years as an atheist

thanks, I didn't run into a paywall on the article but good to have backups.

That's funny. The first time I opened the link I got a cutoff version of the article and it told me to make an account (which I then tried to remove with an ad blocker and the thing was called a paywal internally but the article stayed cut off), Now the second time, the message is gone.

So yeah, that may be just a random message shown on occasion.

Btw, you linked to the lemm.ee post instead of https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/10/05/xi-and-mao-replace-jesus-and-mary-in-chinese-churches/ directly. You can edit your post and change the URL.

That's exactly what a bot would say.
