I genuinely thought this was hyperbolic satire.

EDIT: Outlet has edited headline since time of posting.

    The world isn’t real. This is simply too ridiculous to have happened. I have been in a coma for the last six years and this is all just a weird fantasy playing out in my mind.

      Headline was inaccurate - they didn’t bomb a place for a gender reveal. Instead they bombed a place that produced blue smoke for some other reason and joked about how it resembling a gender reveal. That’s…not better but it’s an important distinction - one is blowing shit up to announce it’s a boy and the other is blowing shit up to blow shit up and then joking about the color of the smoke.

      wait, but does that mean i’m in a coma, or im a figment of your imagination and im in your coma?

      but i agree, it’s too absurdly horrible to be plausible

      I had a concussion in 2008 and I’m wondering if I didn’t wake up from it and any day now I’ll wake up in spring 2008.
