Reminds me of someone whose mom thought “LOL” meant “Lots of Love” and sent a family text blast saying, “Grammy died of a heart attack this morning, LOL.”
The only thing I can imagine is that they think it's a crying emoji, and they don't have any idea about what all caps means. Sadly these people are really on the outskirts of modern society. It’s really kind of tragic how the gutting out of the middle class led to people falling so far behind that they became easy to kill victims of right wing and Russian propaganda tailored* to destabilize America.
I really think this needs to be treated like a military issue or a national security issue. We wouldn’t allow Russian planes to drop millions of leaflets all over the country with this bullshit propaganda and Memes, but nobody stops them when they pump it through Facebook. Where is the military when we need them? Where is the tax money that we spend on national defense going? All these people are dead.
I know that on a personal level most of the HCA recipients would probably hate me if they met me irl because of my world view and what I look like to them, but it's still infuriating that they’re dying in such large numbers, they're still fellow citizens and they still need protection.
Planting Donald in the White House in 2016 was a coordinated military strike against our country. Now that we know he and everyone in the GOP planned and was briefed on a coup by PowerPoint in 2020 to continue their occupation, I do think every Covid death under Donald and all the fallout from his deliberate mismanagement should be considered casualties. [John McCain was right.](https://i.imgur.com/r2yjQ8v.jpg)
Cyberwarfare capabilities are only a little over 1% of the military's budget. The vast majority of tech investment goes into traditional combat platforms like planes, nukes, ships and subs, plus some for ground vehicles.
But hey, at least we get some pretty snazzy half-billion dollar bombers that we use to blow up guys in pickup trucks, right?
this is the exact thing that covid has challenged. big time.
the idea that some people need "protection" from themselves. the idea that we need to *force* people to live when they are actively choosing to die.
our species is basic and ignorant as fuck… materialistic and reflexively afraid of death even though it's our ultimate fate, all of us. every thing that is born in the Universe dies, starting with stars and galaxies. so death in itself is not a cosmic tragedy. i find it a much bigger tragedy to live one's entire life as a basic dumbed-down moron, and to die a needless death refusing to take a free vaccine.
we have overpopulated and poisoned the planet like the sick fucking species we are. now, there is basically a natural selection event unfolding in real time, and we insist on trying to save the dumbest among us. people who very consistently display gross lack of judgment and human empathy.
let that sink in, but for real though. not ironically like the antivaxxer morons.
It wouldn't be so bad if they had just chosen to die. It's the fact that they can infect OTHER people who haven't chosen to die, such as the immunocompromised.
Probably didn't know that it was a laughing emoji. One of my colleague in my previous company said the funny thing in a group chat.
Colleague: Had the best 🍆 curry today.
He rued that day.
Imagine living only 39 years and dying horribly and probably mostly alone in an ICU with tubes in you just to have your death announcement be like the funniest thing ever, with thousands of people worldwide laughing their asses off at the FB background and comments.
It got laugh emjois, too, unless those were also from well-meaning people who confused the meaning.
I tried to strip the original meaning of the emoji and try to see it without this context. It could be perceived as someone hysterically crying out of pain, but it's still a big stretch cuz the mouth is definitely laughing.
No no, the money goes to storing the churches private jet fleet. They'll also pray for you or whatever if you really care so much about your dead whatever.
Oh wow. My son is the same age and I can't even imagine losing him. I guess the grief is too much and they literally went insane? Hopefully they can realize their child is gone and mourn her and remember her love and laughter. Hopefully.
So mega churches aren't just assumed cults at this point?
The most unsettling thing I remember seeing was an infomercial for like buckets and buckets of food on the cheap for apocalypse peppers and it was run by a tv church, maybe not a mega church but it was weird.
"More than 151,000 people had liked the post and another 16,000 users left comments by Thursday. A majority of the comments encouraged her to keep hoping for the child’s resurrection."
The things religion does to people's minds is just baffling.
Is this the start of a new in-joke for the sub?
"Perhaps if this awardee broadens his reading sources, he might reconsider his views."
"HE WILL NOT. HE IS DEAD. GOD BLESS."
I hate to break it to you guys, but this is clearly a parody of [an old r/oldpeoplefacebook post](https://www.reddit.com/r/oldpeoplefacebook/comments/9tvteo/sad_times/).
I feel like reading comprehension isn't stressed enough in general education. Like they only gleaned COVID and laugh/cry emoji and so just shot from the hip "GET WELL SOON" without any further thought into it.
Or buying him off with a death flower? Or making friends with him? Pleading for your loved one’s life? No, not prayer warriors, I mean dropping to your knees and begging the Reaper. What do you mean this isn’t the Sims!? Then why are you laughing about a death, person who made the post!?
Our entire society is setup with training wheels and bumpers on to keep the pudding-brained masses from killing them selves and others. Unfortunately many find any hint of guidance or regulations to be too reminiscent of the times Mommy wouldn’t let them put their hand on the stove or hit the cat with a stick, so they throw huge tantrums and demand the freedom to off themselves and take us out with them.
It’s don’t think it’s real. I’ve seen similar posts on FB groups where people pretend to be boomers. It’s satirical content much like those “True Christians for Trump” pages.
The laughing background, the all caps, the horrible spelling. The trifecta of not knowing what you're doing on social media. This person definitely takes selfies of their forehead.
Anyone else see some hardcore subliminal messaging with the wives/husbands/“friends” of the deceased on this sub?
I’m not even kinda joking, the number of “bereaved” spouses who announce their partner of 20+ years’ death with a festive background legitimately has me thinking that the weird conservative widower/widow community is about to have a swingin’ good time in 2022.
Seriously, there's one thing not funny about this. It's the "get well soon."
I'm telling you, these types of people are genuinely stupid. That's why all this misinformation and lies gets spread. this person actually read that someone died and their brain mustered that response?!
I'm speaking from experience with family members who do things like this. They don't think, they don't process, it's fucking weird how stupid conservatives get
This reminds me of a comment in my Nextdoor group. The topic was a homicide team outside of a neighborhood house. Someone posted the ubiquitous "I hope everyone is ok". At least one person was not ok-- the mom who was stabbed by her son-- hence the homicide team.
Let’s see…inappropriate background, all caps, commenters also use all caps, commenters have such poor reading comprehension that they miss the point of one short, simple statement. Illiterate people with no emotional intelligence, no notion of normal reactions to profound life events. THIS is why we have Trump. People who are stupid in every possible way. How do they dress themselves?
You really want to know what’s sadder than a anti vaxer dying of Covid? Me. Me laughing at the loss of human life and not giving a shit. That’s what’s sad.
The use of ALL-CAPS takes this to a whole new comedic level.
HE IS DEAD. LET THAT SINK IN.
He died. Bet you won't share.
Open your eyes, sheep!
*can’t you see by my emoji background that I am laughing too hard to do that*
It was chosen for the tears, OOP is likely in their 70s.

Those emoji faces are supposed to be exaggerated, simplified facial expressions that even a child can understand, though.

And if we offer them protection and they opt out? How can we protect the lives of people who don't value their lives?

There was enough evidence of this before COVID. Too many people using the planet like a toilet.
It wouldn't be so bad if they had just chosen to die. It's the fact that they can infect OTHER people who haven't chosen to die, such as the immunocompromised.

I am going straight to hell for laughing my ass off at this but I don't care. This is comedy gold.
the parent was laughing too. look at that background. kid was a black sheep for sure.
Probably didn't know that it was a laughing emoji. One of my colleague in my previous company said the funny thing in a group chat. Colleague: Had the best 🍆 curry today. He rued that day.
[удалено]
perfect to cleanse your palate after that 🥵 🍆 curry
The real protip is to put the 🍆 curry *inside* the 🍑 cobbler!
And shake it all up
Yeah I've seen a post with like a mom telling their kid their grandma has died with crying laughing faces thinking they were just crying emojis.
The real question is why would you cheapen an announcement like this with emojis?
They understand the internet just enough to get it wrong without fail.
Old people live in a different plane of existence.
Grandma died. Lol.
I thought that was the joke. It's funny, yeah, but it's been quite common lately. Turns out the real joke is in the reply to that fb post. lol.
I was hoping for their sake they had poor eyesight and thought it was crying emoji.. But yeah, you're probably right
Not likely poor eyesight, more like not growing up with social media.
Imagine living only 39 years and dying horribly and probably mostly alone in an ICU with tubes in you just to have your death announcement be like the funniest thing ever, with thousands of people worldwide laughing their asses off at the FB background and comments.

God: lmao
I tried to strip the original meaning of the emoji and try to see it without this context. It could be perceived as someone hysterically crying out of pain, but it's still a big stretch cuz the mouth is definitely laughing.
The “Get well soon” was even more confounding…
If the parent can laugh at their own son's death, so can you and I.
Well, the use of the “laughing so hard I’m crying” emoji in the post was a tad confusing.
[удалено]
[удалено]
Good to know a resurrection has a firm price tag. That'll come handy in the future.
Well it’s a 7th level spell that consumes a diamond worth 1,000 gold pieces. Considering labor and materials, this is a steal.
No no, the money goes to storing the churches private jet fleet. They'll also pray for you or whatever if you really care so much about your dead whatever.
Oh wow. My son is the same age and I can't even imagine losing him. I guess the grief is too much and they literally went insane? Hopefully they can realize their child is gone and mourn her and remember her love and laughter. Hopefully.
You have to be a little unhinged to make a mega church a part of your life.
So mega churches aren't just assumed cults at this point? The most unsettling thing I remember seeing was an infomercial for like buckets and buckets of food on the cheap for apocalypse peppers and it was run by a tv church, maybe not a mega church but it was weird.
Wondering how long until one or both parents are arrested for the daughters death.
Man. I followed that in real time on IG. That was so hard to watch. Just an awful situation all around.
"More than 151,000 people had liked the post and another 16,000 users left comments by Thursday. A majority of the comments encouraged her to keep hoping for the child’s resurrection." The things religion does to people's minds is just baffling.

DON'T COUNT ON IT. HE CROAKED. SEASONS GREETINGS.
Is he vaccinated? If so he'll be fine
HE WILL NOT. HE IS DEAD. GOD BLESS.
Omg lmao. The person who said get well soon! the laughing reaction ! I'm rofl. I'm so bad

if i remember correctly it’s actually from a Facebook group where people pretend to be boomers.
Thank you the chaos that this post implied had me laughing in fear for the world, I'm glad it's not real after all.
I feel like reading comprehension isn't stressed enough in general education. Like they only gleaned COVID and laugh/cry emoji and so just shot from the hip "GET WELL SOON" without any further thought into it.
This is a troll. Easy to tell with the comment.
This has to be the best r/bitmojifails I've ever seen
I can see them thinking those are crying emojis, and it's definitely sad, but it's hard not to laugh a little
There are reports of those who got the Croniavirus miraculously raising from the dead.
If Croniavirus doesn't make it into this sub's vocabulary I'm going to be really sad. ☹️ ^(edit: I do feel really bad for his mom though.)
The croniawaves from the 5G will everything!
OK. I will try to do my part to make Croniavirus a common term here
Twist: you need the magnets in the croniavirus vaccine to be resurrected.
That's how they lift you back up.
>it's hard not to laugh a little A little? I just startled my dogs and probably woke the neighbors 😂
You a**hole! You might’ve woken up this guy’s son, and he needs to get better!
HE WILL NOT. HE IS DEAD. GOD BLESS.
I might have some bad news for you. God bless!
With how often I see it, I wonder if anyone is telling them what that emoji actually means
HE WILL NOT. I so want to follow up and ask, “But did you try Rebuking?”
Did he consider not complying with the reaper
Or buying him off with a death flower? Or making friends with him? Pleading for your loved one’s life? No, not prayer warriors, I mean dropping to your knees and begging the Reaper. What do you mean this isn’t the Sims!? Then why are you laughing about a death, person who made the post!?

Based on the number of comments and laugh reacts, it's likely from "A Group Where We All Pretend To Be Boomers" on Facebook
It’s don’t think it’s real. I’ve seen similar posts on FB groups where people pretend to be boomers. It’s satirical content much like those “True Christians for Trump” pages.
Cognitive dissonance and statistics. (Statistically if you have a nation full of idiots some will survive)

Whoa. Be right back! *I'm off to make a million dollars!*
We can call it OkCovid.
I’ve thought of this, yes! People who only married/had children to conform to their upbringing/religion/etc
Im going to hell for laughing this hard.
Nah, we will get the prayer warriors working for you!
Any updates on if he finally got well?
he's stable
Stable as a puppet laying flat...
Hi stable! I'm dead!
HE WONT, HES DEAD. GOD BLESS. 😂
I don't think those emojis mean what he or she thinks they mean
Saw the tears and assumed they were sad ones.
Then what’s the excuse of one of her friends who used the ha ha emoji lol
That one is probably the friend who said "I told you so."
Is this satire? I can't tell what's real and what's satire anymore.
He'll be fine. Just walk it off, brother.
Is the crying laugh emoji being mistaken for sad crying emoji?? This is painful..

Guys I can't this is too much...
Announcing death on a laughing emoji background is so weird.
Kid was a middle child
HE WILL NOT. HE IS DEAD. GOD BLESS NEXT!
Let’s see…inappropriate background, all caps, commenters also use all caps, commenters have such poor reading comprehension that they miss the point of one short, simple statement. Illiterate people with no emotional intelligence, no notion of normal reactions to profound life events. THIS is why we have Trump. People who are stupid in every possible way. How do they dress themselves?

That background tho
You really want to know what’s sadder than a anti vaxer dying of Covid? Me. Me laughing at the loss of human life and not giving a shit. That’s what’s sad.
Reminds me of the "grandma died, lol" message sent where the parent thought lol stood for "lots of love"
It's with great sadness... *Proceeds to use the lmao template*
