Beside the point here, but this week's right wing fad of making edgy jeans/genes jokes reminds me of the time in middle school when we figured out that if you typed 58008 on your calculator and turned it upside down it looked like "boobs."

80085 already looks like boobs. You don't need to turn upside down. It's 55378008 you have to turn upside down.

Wait, 58008 spelled boobs? What the 7734!

Same thing as “Let’s Go Brandon.” A joke that 8th graders would find puerile that was hyped into relevance.

I'm sorry, but Pete Hegseth doesn't have great 58008 either.

I thought they wanted to ban homophones.

Way back when I used to make jokes about Republican misogyny being motivated by a hatred of the homogametic, but that was long before they got big into Transphobia (and also before I'd really thought about how it could justifiably offend people to assume identity between 'women' and 'homogametic').

It doesn't really work as well without the blocky characters and red LED display.

It’s like the lamest joke ever. Fine for a commercial, but if you think this post is hilarious….it’s not. As soon as the olds start saying it, it’s no longer cool.
