Maybe each of them pulls a stack of autograph cards out of their pocket (or out from their cleavage) so you can pick which of the various pictures of them on stage in silly and obviously hypnotized situations you want autographed. Can't have them just signing blank scraps of paper for their fans.

People on the street calling them "the hypno bunnies from that show" and instead of questioning that they just start arguing over which of them the person meant, distracting themselves while they start posing on request and writing autographs as "I'm hypnotized and oblivious – Bunny 1 / Bunny 2"

Not sure the numbers even had to be made up yet. Between the billions shoveled into the AI pit and people having to pay more money on just about anything thanks to tariffs, I can see how the numbers would go up a bit longer even as nothing of actual value was actually purchased from all that money.

Even if the numbers aren't just made up entirely, "huge investment" and "strong purchasing power" is gonna be code for "burning billions on the AI bubble" and "customers paying more due to tariffs". As long as money is moved, it doesn't matter to the economy how much of it is shoveled into a pit.

It's definitely a sign of Twitter's decline. Just a year or two ago you'd have easily gotten *dozens* of pornbots and crypto shills in the replies.

I remembered that interview as well and checked into it some more. Found this other article so it seems that they can only attempt to influence the stores but can't actually do anything about prices. www.today.com/food/news/wh...

It wouldn't even be particularly difficult for them to keep up the ruse, since Trump has already been sending literal cardboard cutouts to events he was supposed to appear at for years.

This is clearly satire, they have to be more upset with him than anyone about how badly he's panicking over the whole Epstein thing and trying everything to distance himself from it.

My best guess is that with Epstein's death, this is the first time he isn't 100% confident that the privilege of being a rich old white guy will protect him from all consequences.

"Sure your house is burning down but we wrote a whole book about how the real problem with modern real estate are all those rules and regulations concerning the installment of outlets and gas ovens."

That seems like it'd be ripe for punnery and wordplay.

She looks so grumpy in the first one, like someone interrupted her meticulously scheduled study time for something unimportant like socializing or food or an defeating an ancient curse that has been carelessly released onto Ponyville *again*. I love it.

Picturing her blowing up in an explosion of toon ink/goop that leaves her perfectly fine and marginally calmed down in the center but several bystanders now splattered and transforming into her.

Any particular characters/outfits you had in mind?

Hypnotized Hypnotist trope if I've ever seen one.

I will be extremely disappointed if there aren't new pictures circulating of at the very least Mario making out with Wario, Toad and Yoshi within 24 hours with a tagline along the lines of "most eligible bachelor in the Mushroom Kingdom".

"Stop shipping the incredibly obvious pairing of male lead and female lead", a strategy that has never once led to a huge spike in memes and art shipping them with every conceivable and inconceivable other character in the series as they are now canonically free game.

I punch you in the face and it does wind manage because I have terrible aim but lots of enthusiasm.
