This article is fascinating in its choice of headlines. It briefly mentions the headline quote, and then goes on to primarily talk about the number of journalists who were killed last year. It was just an article about a conference the pope spoke at, but i really thought it’d be about something else before i read it. Successful clickbait, i guess???
You’d think they’d lead with the journalists. Guess they think cellphones are more important.
YOU won’t BELIEVE what THIS POPE SAID about YOUR PHONE! Click here to find out how!
Your first mistake is writing THIS POPE, when it should’ve been THE POPE. That will get more people interested, because it’s THE pope and not just any regular pope.
What about SPACE POPE?
We’re not in space now, are we?
Yes, we are. Literally. Earth is a space rock.
You’re no fun, are you?
Space and time, but they’re sort of the same thing.
I’m clicking but it won’t do anything!
Maybe you need to buy a new mouse.

I’m sorry, i didn’t have time to go back and forth with you about this. I have to go pick up a new mouse for my pc.
I wonder if there are a number of people who will always read an article if the pope is mentioned, so if he’s related to a topic even a little bit, he gets to be in the headline.
Oh definitely. My grandmother was exactly like that.
Idk, Christianity seems like much stronger brain rot.
Dude, that’s because it’s literally based on scrolls.
Are scrolls more likely to promote brain rot? Why am I asking this question?!
a) He’s right and you know he’s right. Doomscrolling is not healthy and tech companies maximize engagement regardless of the addiction and mental health implications.
b) He was talking about the state of journalism and in that specific context what he said makes even more sense.
c) That epic sculpture he’s sitting in front of is sick and looks like what a comic book corrupt cardinal would be sitting in front of while threatening batman or something.
d) Fuck the church institutions that cover up decades of abuse and horrible crimes.
Moreso than unquestioningly believing the ramblings of a bunch of half high goat herders from 2000 years ago?
Scrolling “of the bible” fixed it for you.
I chuckle as I keep scrolling
This new ALIEN movie looks wild!
What the hell is he sitting in front of?
I haven’t seen the article and I’m too lazy to look but if you’re referring to the alien vine hellscape of madness looking statue behind him that was donated in the 70s or something. It appeared more recently than that though in a Mandela Effect, about the same time as the changes to the bible.
I find it hard to trust this source. This sounds like ai generated garbage when you listen to the voice in the video.
God bless
I’d typically agree but since I’ve scrolled Lemmy and News (Apple’s news app) rather aimlessly for ~1 year now I notice a lot of people are behind or misled on a lot of topics. They’re usually stuck in an echo chamber but some just generally have lives to live offline.
That’s okay, excessive church causes brain ossification.
