Babylon Bee used to have pretty good and insightful ribs on American evangelical culture every so often, and has since devolved into boring conservative circle-jerking. Now here they are explaining their dumb joke at us:

I'm sure this has nothing to do with their membership program which includes a subscription tier for "you get to post in a special forum and pitch article ideas to us".

Isn't Babylon Bee run by that guy who always makes strained arguments against THE GAYS? The only people I've seen share their articles are a libertarian and a marine who unironically shares prager u videos.

I've only ever known them as an attempt at "The Onion, but right-wing" which has been about as good as it sounds for as long as I can remember.

Babylon Bee was founded by one of those interchangable biblical literalist political cartoonists whose only two takes were "liberals say I hate the gays, but that's ridiculous, because the bible says everyone's a sinner and I love all sinners equally (but only want the government to oppress gays and also women and non-white people)" and "lmao scientists are such dumbasses for trying to map out the fossil records when we already know where animals came from read genesis morans" while citing a random bible verse. I wanna say Adam Ford? And then I think he sold it as soon as someone offered a decent chunk of change.

I have laughed at Babylon Bee, but ONLY at posts that are frankly only understandable if you spent most of your life going to church and are familiar with more types of churches than yours. They have had some extremely niche jokes that worked.

That's the one joke genre they have ever been good at.

As far as I can tell he doesn't do cartoons anymore and focuses solely on the Babylon bee. But yeah his cartoons were him basically using the bible like a law book to pretzel twist himself into justifying his hatred of LGBTQA+ people. He was a right wing evangelical version of The Oatmeal.

Edit: I spoke too soon, he's still making comics:

here's one that is less depressing and political

For some quick background, many Chinese animal names are fun mashups of animals and concepts for interesting linguistic reasons.

This woman posts a "fun language fact" about Chinese which a lot of people find when they fool around with a dictionary: that "penguin" is literally "business goose". This is unfortunately not true and it's actually a "tip-toe goose", which is still fun, imo. People tried to politely correct her since this happens a lot, and she wasn't too happy with that and kept digging in on this for some reason-





the icing on the cake is she eventually deleted every tweet in the thread, EXCEPT this one!!!

Plenty of English animals names are like this, we just laundered them through other languages.

Hippopotamus = river horse

Porcupine = thorny pig

Porpoise = pig fish

Ferret = little thief
