It’s like September 2001 all over again. White boomers hysterically screeching about terrorist attacks in the dumbest places.

Being from the UK, that time was so ridiculous lol. People freaking out as if ISIS' next target after New York would be Milton Keynes or something.

Al-Qaeda, ISIS was formed after the invasion of Iraq (and mostly as a direct consequence of the invasion).

Doncaster must be carpet bombed to ensure no Hamas militants are there and taking hostages.

I've never heard of anyone wanting to visit Doncaster, let alone invade it.

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

If people are paragliding there I'm gonna guess that's one of the few reasons to visit, which makes this more insane.

Might actually take up learning paragliding as a hobby. Usually I'm kinda afraid of height, but it might be worth overcoming my fear just to terrorize and traumatize bunch of shitlibs for the lols

I wish this never came to mind. A coworker is going to bring up the paraglider thing and I'm gonna laugh now.

I had a relative that was into flying them for years and he mentioned once that they give you a God-like feeling as you float over the landscape. He was actually terrified of heights now that I think of it.

Keep your eyes on the sky, here comes Hamasdafoe-horror

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago

I saw a guy messing with a fence. I quickly assumed he was HAMAS because it looked like he was trying to breach the fence. Now I've been arrested for attacking a fencing technician.

Was she

a) tripping balls?

b) incredibly, stupidly high to the point of unhinged paranoia?

c) feeling thirsty for drama and attention?

d) ______(your answer here)

d) brave patriot who saw something and said something 🫡

Unlikely to be the first two, the sort of person who sells their story to the Metro probably thinks Stephen Fry is a bit of a hippie

Oops my image didn't load. But yes, I was referencing this.

lmao inb4 legislation is passed in both the UK and US banning civilian paragliders for no reason

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

new licensing rules for paramotors, which were previously unlicensed: you have to sign a paper denouncing Hamas and eat a bacon sandwich

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

'Oi mate, you got a loicense for that paraglider?'

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Amazing how the news is just 90% “local cracker SLAMS [pejorative] [slur]”

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

white people are terrified, find out why at 11

[–] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

Mfw Hamas decides to attack idk… Beaumont, tx of all places

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

To be fair to the woman, while the paragliders turned out not to be Hamas this time, they did take more than 200 Lancaster citizens hostage before retreating.

UK based paragliders have the opportunity to do something very funny next time Glastonbury is going on

Alicia Keys got in trouble for saying she wants to try paragliding too. There's people that paraglide past her house everyday so it isn't even out of nowhere lol

Doncaster has fallen, billions must fly

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

paramotors are unironically cool as hell, wish i wasnt such a wimp and tried one out

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I wonder how much these cost, and how legal they are to fly around here
