    well it’s also true for cornflakes. They have a weird creepy history because the creator of them was against things like masturbation, and he suggested eating cornflakes would help.

    But I believe OP was probably referring to a simpsons episode. The flanders are playing pictionary where Flanders draws cornstarch on the poster, and his wife gets the answer correct. I wasn’t alive when this episode came out but probably the writers were making a joke about cornflakes by using cornstarch, but that’s jst my guess.

    "After Mr. Trump finished watching employees work for the day, he hung his apron up like he was asked to do. But then Mr. Trump helped himself to two fistfuls of cash from the register. When a manager confronted him on the way out, Mr. Trump loudly proclaimed ‘The lunatics from the border - and let me tell you Comrade Kamala is all about just letting these people into the country, millions of them it’s just the worst, she’s the worst VP in all of history - anyway, what I was saying is that the asylums, they pour into this country and we have to get our border under control. They took this money. You need to ask the Lunatic Left why they allow this. But just for your trouble, I’ll donate $5 to you’.

    The manager, apparently stunned by this statement, innocently held out his hand to receive the money. Mr. Trump dug into his pocket and pulled out a middle finger and showed it to the manager while laughing. During Mr. Trump’s act of removing his hand quickly from his pocket, at least 10 stolen french fries were reported to be shot out from his pocket and what potentially appeared to be a chicken nugget of some kind. The origin of the nugget is not known, and this may or not be McDonald’s brand chicken, and if it isn’t, Mr. Trump may allegedly have been carrying at least one known chicken nugget in his pants pocket before entering the McDonald’s establishment. It has been repoted that the manager never received the money, and a spokesperson for Mr. Trump has not responded for comment."

    I hate seeing a terrorist attack as a meme. Thousands of innocent civilians went to work that day (or even were just visiting the towers). Religious terrorists, radicalized by their religion, hijacked and flew airplanes into the towers and murdered them all. All in the name of “god”. List of the three thousand innocent civilians murdered on September 11th.

    If you think this is funny, you should hear the recorded phone calls on September 11th of all those innocent people saying goodbye to their loved ones because they knew they would not be able to get out of the burning buildings moments before the towers collapsed. Or watch the videos of people jumping out of the buildings because they’re choking on acrid smoke. Some chose to die by impact since it was less painful than burning to death.

    Here are a few quotes taken from the recorded phone calls/voicemails of a few victims:

    “Mom, it’s Stephen. My plane… my building got hit by a plane. And right now… I think I’m okay, I’m safe now but it’s smoky. I just wanted to say how much I love you.”

    “I just wanted to let you know I love you and I’m stuck in this building in New York. There’s lots of smoke and I just wanted you to know that I love you always.” Melissa Harrington Hughes, 31.

    “Jill, there’s a fire on my floor. I love you, tell Nicole ‘I love you’. I don’t know if I’m going to be ok here. I love you so much.” Jim Gartenberg

    Recorded transcript between a trapped person named Kevin and an Emergency Operator:

    • "There’s smoke - really bad - [Floor] 105 Tower Two.
    • Emergency Operator: “Alright, sit tight. We’ll get to you as soon as we can.”
    • “You keep saying that but the smoke’s really bad. I can barely breathe.”
    • Operator: “It’s all we can do.”
    • “Where are you? What floor are you guys up to?”
    • Operator: “We’re getting there. We’re getting there.”
    • “Doesn’t feel like it man, I’ve got young kids.”
    • Operator: “I understand that, sir.”
    • “You’ve got stacks of people up here. I know you’ve got a lot in the building but we’re up on the top. Smoke rises, too. We’re on the floor - we’re in the - window. Come on, I can barely breathe now - can’t see.”
    • Operator: “Okay, just try to hang in there.”
    • “You can say that, you’re in an air-conditioned building. It’s really bad - it’s black, it’s arid. We’re young men - we’re not ready to die. We’re overlooking the financial centre. Three of us - two broken windows.”

    A recent example documentary that highlights these recorded phone calls. There are lots of them out there:

    It’s never funny when innocent persons die all over the world. Whether it’s our elected elite rulers toying with our lives, or terrorists (or the extremely devout) deciding their god was better than someone else’s god, and whispered in their ear that their killing was just.
