We need to encourage this belief that way we can keep those plague rats contained

I'm watching this going from this is freaking hilarious --> this is freaking ugly as fuck --> fuck this world as my thinking went deeper.

So he’s been doing a lot of flying huh?

[–] IThinkSometimes@lemm.ee 18 points 11 hours ago

It turned him gay after one scan! That is why, when his wife called the hotel room, a random guy answered the phone. He explained to her that her husband is now gay because of the airport scanner and he would be turned back once he scanned again. "They work like switches, he said to her, and then added, "and boy was your husband turned on!” He went in to explain it always makes her husband gay when travels.

I'm unfamiliar with this particular issue... looked it up ahh, more government sanctioned abuse on our most vulnerable minorities in the false banner of protection.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

They do? Great! Let's get rid of them.

"Refuse airport bodyscan searches!"

"Because they're a means of privacy invasion and demostrates the TSA's pointless existence yet dangerous power?"

"No, becuase they'll turn you into a sausage-loving twink!"

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Dude, either shave the mustache or grow the rest of the beard.

As it stands now it's just a billboard for the Cruise Patrol.

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 12 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

In case anyone is wondering why they say stupid shit like this, it's because they need to be able to convince a whole lot of stupid people that being gay can be "cured", just as it can be caused. And the cure? Religion.

It's all a big scam.

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago

I figured it was so that when it's discovered that they've been boning other dudes (or kids unfortunately) they can blame TSA scanners or some other shit. Surely it can't just be that they're monstrous assholes.

[–] PunkRockSportsFan@fanaticus.social 6 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Christianity is the silliest of all the religions.

And that’s saying something.

There are some really silly ones

Yet Christianity is the silliest.

Sexy ass blonde man in a loin cloth showing off his shredded abs… plastering this image everywhere.

Worshiping this sexy man.

And then being like “gay is bad mkay”

Silly.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

My religion is based on there being no universal truths, and cookies being the embodiment of all that is pure and good in creation.

And Christianity is still the silliest by a wide margain.

[–] mcv@lemm.ee 12 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

As stupid as this is, I see mostly positive consequences coming from this: either they'll oppose TSA, or they'll refuse to fly. Both sound like a win to me.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

But TSA is also big into molesting people and touching them inappropriately.

Which makes it a big win for conservatives.

I do feel a little more flamboyant every time I take a flight.

He doesn't want to go into the gay machine so he prefers to get patted down by other men.

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

A few times, have to be certain the Devil didn't take over and force him to carry contraband.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago

... and adds, "so if anyone catches me sucking dick in the airport bathroom, that would be why."

[–] suite403@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

If this got rid of those scanners, I wouldn't complain.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 13 points 16 hours ago

It happened to him & he felt the need to warn everyone. 🤣🤣🤣

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 23 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Wait, since the homophobes are in power, can we use this?

Turns out defunding science turns you gay, guys..

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 15 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Low taxes on rich people make them gay.

Hating someone for the color of their skin is the gayest thing you could do.

[–] MoreFPSmorebetter@lemmy.zip 10 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Hmmm... Every gay person I know has drank water. He should probably stop drinking water just to be safe.

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 33 points 20 hours ago (6 children)

He's using that as an excuse to have gay sex on when he travels. When you get scanned on the way home it turns you back straight. Or makes you gay^2 more research needs to be done.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

"Sorry honey I walked trough a scanner and suddenly found myself with his dick in my mouth."

Probably the only good thing DOGE has done is slash TSA funding.

[–] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 12 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Stop it! Stop giving stupid people attention. Seriosly. They feed their stupidity with attention. Just ignore, dont't share and they will dissapear.

Yea! Always opt out of the scanner and get groped by a male TSA agent instead. That's definitely the less gay option!

It’s pretty telling when you make up fantasies about things that become part of your core beliefs because you think about them that much.

Just sayin. It’s pretty obvious.

[–] RBWells@lemmy.world 36 points 22 hours ago (3 children)

I think when you think all sorts of everyday experiences can "turn you gay", you might possibly be gay? And what do the scanners do to gay people? Turn them straight, or somehow more gay?

Like, I've tried all sorts of things in my life, including same-sex sex, and am still straight - like even if I were actively trying to change my sexuality it doesn't. Sometimes to my despair, as I get older, it would be easier to not have such a strong preference.

seems like they are running out of funny things to say

[–] Shardikprime@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, as much as the next thing. We don't really know what would turn people gay.

[–] unphazed@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Ummm, nothing. It's a biological trait upon birth. Christians are so funny when they say it's a choice. So if you feel it's a choice, pastor, or Brother, then guess what? You have a biological attraction to men. But no, they'd rather continue the lie that the Bible condemns homosexuality, not pedophilia, as that means they are really in trouble.

Far-IR radiation is male, so sending it through your dick makes you gay.

[–] PowerfulTurtle@lemmy.ca 11 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

Then why was I gay before I ever flew? Seriously when I was young and my peers were getting crushes on girls, I was getting crushes on boys. Seems I always liked boys and was never interested in girls.

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 1 points 5 hours ago

Your mom went by an airport while pregnant, and just the proximity is enough sometimes

[–] AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 18 points 19 hours ago

your mom probably walked through one while pregnant /s

Dude, you were gay already and just hadn't admitted it to yourself.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 36 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Can confirm. I was super straight until I locked eyes with that tall dark and handsome TSA agent on the other side of the machine. Sounds like this dude has a similar story.

I think there's a scandal on the horizon for this guy.

lmao

when he confessed that he prefers to be frisked at the airport, instead of undergoing a proper body scanner.
