I never link to X. But I feel obliged to show proof here that this is not a wicked AI/generated joke: https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/2014819683757678654 #Trump #Greenland #penguin #science #birds

China launched a social media satire attack.

@christianschwaegerl Das könnte ein wirkungsvolles Instrument gegen die Faschos sein: jemand stärkeres lacht sie lauthals aus.

(Ich bin noch nicht sicher, ob ich China hier die Daumen drücken soll.)

@hmwilker Hätte ich mir auch für Davos gewünscht, eine Halle mit schallendem Lachen. Obwohl, dann hätte der Narcissist-in-chief sich wahrscheinlich den Atomkoffer bringen lassen….

@christianschwaegerl Not to single you out, but "can you believe this is real?" is exactly the dynamic by which this crap has been spreading for more than a decade now. And look where we are. And it still works every single time. Sigh.

@abuehling Like so many people, I’ve lost a ton of nerves following events about Greenland and writing about them over the past weeks. From time to time, some comic relief may be allowed.

@christianschwaegerl I definitely feel you here! And at the same time I crave for the moment when this stops working.

@christianschwaegerl

I assume it means "we'll have it all, from Patagonia all the way up to Greenland."

@tomatensson That’s how his speaker will spin it, true! “As a result of glorious dominance of the Western Hemisphere by the US, our dear leader Trump leads Patagonian penguins to be finally eaten by Greenland’s polar bears, disproving decades of scientific fairy-tales.”

@hettwolf @christianschwaegerl The Nazis reportedly still have a secret base there, as they do on the Moon (see the documentaries under the 'Iron Sky' name) so that's probably where he got the penguin from.

@christianschwaegerl You should have included the "Penguins are not native to Greenland" comment right below the picture.
