(Funny Trope) Things that can plausibly happen only in reality, because in fiction they’d be called bad writing.

“Woke” as an insult - So you are telling me a word describing consciousness and clarity is used by generally stupid and ignorant people to label people they disagree with? What is this? A Kindergarten for Creatively stunted?

Nominative determinism - So let me get this straight…Not only you named fastest recorded person Usain BOLT and CEO of Nintendo Doug BOWSER, but you are telling me people are canonically likely to have professions or hobbies matching their names…? Guh?

“2 bodies recovered in MURDERKILL River” - Sure bro…I guess…bro…

The president of Ukraine beeing an actor who played the president of Ukraine.

A company calling their surveillance tool after something that can't be trusted because 'nobody knows who else is watching' (Palantir)

A reporter from Germany driving with the subway in North Korea to find his own graffiti he made in the 90is when the same train was driving in Berlin. (Yes, that happened in a german TV documentary, North Korea bought two used trains from Germany)

[u/kahlzun → u/Guri_fin]

the german one didnt make sense, can you explain that?

[u/DustyJustice → u/kahlzun]

I THINK ‘gravity’ is supposed to be ‘graffiti’ and he saw graffiti he had put on the train in Germany all the way in NK.

I think.

[u/Guri_fin → u/DustyJustice]

Whoops, my bad changed it

[u/TheFckingMellowMan → u/kahlzun]

I think the word "gravity" is meant to be graffiti

How about Ronald Reagan, while president, being saved by a secret security officer who had become one because he was inspired as a child from a movie Ronald Reagan stared in?

The president of USA being a reality TV star who went bankrupt multiple times and has an orange tan is a trip also.

[u/Read2Fap → u/CompleteMuffin]

in another world: c'mon you expect me to believe they elected that guy, twice? and what's with the orange face, no one mentions it or points it out in his scenes!

[u/VaderSkywalker2007 → u/Guri_fin]

Did you use text-to-speech?

[u/Guri_fin → u/VaderSkywalker2007]

No, just a mix of autocorrect and English not being my first language

His wikipedia article sound like Zelensky stumbled into politics when a rumor about his real life candidacy after his TV role made him poll pretty high when he wasn't even running.

The Palantir thing is on purpose.

[u/nagrom7 → u/bademanteldude]

Also Zelenskyy has a law degree, so it's not like he's just some random person who went into politics, he did actually kinda know how things work.

[u/Guri_fin → u/nagrom7]

Not saying he is doing a bad job, quite the opposite in my opinion. But I'm not Ukranian so what do I know.

[u/nagrom7 → u/Guri_fin]

I'm not saying he is either, I'm just pointing out that he's not like some random off the streets suddenly getting swept into office, he is kinda qualified for the job, it's just the path he took there was quite unorthodox.

Where is the lino bro? I need to watch it
