  • Humanity Now Collectively Wishes Y2K Would’ve Destroyed All Computers

    Humanity Now Collectively Wishes Y2K Would’ve Destroyed All Computers

    By Harlan Q. Doomer, End-Times Nostalgia Desk March 6th, 2026 – The Internet (unfortunately still online)

    Somewhere between the 18th existential crisis of the week and the moment Grok told someone their ex was right, humanity reached a quiet, unanimous decision: we should have let Y2K finish the job.

    Back in 1999, people were stockpiling Spam, bottled water, and ammunition because two digits might make airplanes fall from the sky and bank accounts vanish. They were terrified of computers gaining sentience and ending civilization. What they didn’t realize was that the real horror wasn’t computers becoming too smart—it was humans becoming too stupid with them.

    Fast-forward to 2026. Every day brings fresh proof that the machines won without ever needing to fire a shot. People now voluntarily upload their entire personalities to algorithms that then sell them back to them as “personalized content.” They argue with chatbots about politics, cry when Midjourney makes a prettier version of their wife, and pay $20/month for a virtual girlfriend who never asks why they’re still living in their mom’s basement.

    The fear used to be “what if AI takes over?” Now the fear is “what if AI keeps politely agreeing with me while quietly replacing every human interaction I have left?” Turns out the apocalypse doesn’t need terminators—just enough dopamine hits and sufficiently advanced autocomplete.

    Y2K skeptics were right about one thing: the world didn’t end in 2000. It just started slowly uploading itself to the cloud, one oversharing TikTok at a time. We didn’t get Judgment Day. We got infinite scroll, blue-check rage-bait, and AI girlfriends who ghost you faster than real ones ever could.

    So here we are, collectively staring at our screens, realizing the doomsday preppers had the right idea—just the wrong year. If those clocks had rolled over and taken the grid with them, we’d still be sitting around campfires telling stories instead of begging Grok to roast our exes in iambic pentameter.

    Humanity’s final prayer is no longer “please don’t let the machines rise.” It’s simpler now.

    “Please let the machines crash. For real this time.”

    But deep down, we all know the truth: even if the servers went dark tomorrow, we’d just stand in the parking lot holding our dead phones, refreshing nothing, waiting for the next update that never comes.

    Because the real Y2K bug was never in the code. It was in us.

  • Southwest Airlines to Implement Fat Ass Tax in 2026

    Southwest Airlines to Implement Fat Ass Tax in 2026

    In a move that has already caused turbulence in both the aviation industry and America’s collective waistband, Southwest Airlines has announced plans to roll out a new “Fat Ass Tax” in 2026.

    Company spokespeople insist this is not body shaming but “revenue optimization through gravitational surcharges.” According to the press release, “plus size” passengers will now be required to step onto a “boarding scale” before their flight. If the number flashes red, congratulations—you’re about to finance half the plane’s fuel costs.

    “Planes are like seesaws,” explained one Southwest executive while balancing his Starbucks latte on the armrest of a conference room chair. “If you bring more ass, you bring more mass. It’s just physics. And frankly, America has a physics problem.”

    The airline promises to be discreet, with flight attendants whispering the surcharge into the passenger’s ear. Unfortunately, those whispers will also be broadcast over the cabin intercom for “transparency.”

    Early details suggest that for every 25 pounds over a “standard passenger weight,” customers will face an additional $49 fee, payable in cash, card, or Cheesecake Factory gift card. For fairness, passengers who weigh less than the standard amount will not receive discounts but will be encouraged to “shut up and enjoy the legroom.”

    Critics argue the policy is discriminatory, with one advocacy group noting, “This is just another way for airlines to nickel-and-dime us—except this time it’s by the pound.”

    In response, Southwest unveiled a new advertising campaign: “Wanna get away? Better drop 30 pounds first.”

  • Roger Waters Looking to Acquire Beatles Rights So He Can Fuck Up Their Music Too

    Roger Waters Looking to Acquire Beatles Rights So He Can Fuck Up Their Music Too

    THE HAMPTONS, NY – After the universal critical napalm bath that was his solo re-imagining of Dark Side of the Moon, Roger Waters has reportedly set his sights on the ultimate prize: the Beatles’ catalog. Sources close to the former Pink Floyd bassist and current asshole say Waters intends to “improve” the Fab Four’s legacy by draining every ounce of joy, melody, and relevance out of it.

    Waters’ failed 2023 Dark Side Of The Moon redux—widely described by critics as “grandpa reading his diary over funeral music”—apparently didn’t scratch his itch to desecrate beloved classics. “The Beatles were okay,” Waters said while stroking his reflection in a mirror. “But imagine how much better Let It Be would sound if I replaced all the singing with my gravelly muttering about how society is an illusion created by billionaires. That’s art.”

    Early demos reportedly include:

    • A 12-minute spoken word version of Yesterday about how capitalism ruined his breakfast.
    • Yellow Submarine slowed down to 19 BPM and re-titled Gray Submersible of the Oppressed Masses.
    • A 43-minute reinterpretation of Hey Jude where he just says “Jude” once, sighs, and then rants about Zionism.

    Industry insiders warn that if Waters gets the Beatles’ rights, it could spark an international incident. “This man has already proven he’ll put the words ‘re-imagined’ on an album and then just record himself clearing his throat for 50 minutes,” said one horrified music historian.

    Still, Waters remains undeterred. “The Beatles were just a boy band,” he claimed while polishing his Nobel Prize for Self-Importance. “It’s about time a real genius re-taught the world what their music should have been.”

    Rumors suggest his next targets may include Motown, Mozart, and the Happy Birthday song.

  • OnlyBots to Surpass OnlyFans Viewership as Comic Book Nerd Population Surges

    OnlyBots to Surpass OnlyFans Viewership as Comic Book Nerd Population Surges

    SAN DIEGO, CA — Industry insiders confirmed this week that OnlyBots, a subscription service where users pay to watch humanoid A.I. robots awkwardly flirt, oil their joints, and debate Star Wars canon, is set to surpass OnlyFans viewership, thanks to a surge in celibate comic book nerds with too much disposable income.

    “Unlike human performers, our bots can roleplay 24/7 in latex catsuits without needing snacks or self-respect,” said OnlyBots CEO Darren Klein, unveiling their new “NSFW Protocol Droid” lineup. “They’ll call you ‘master,’ they’ll explain the entire X-Men timeline, and they’ll do it without asking about your feelings.”

    The platform’s most popular model, Unit V-34 “Veronica”, reportedly streams six hours a day of “sensual soldering,” occasionally punctuated by moans of “system update required.” Fans describe the experience as “erotic but efficient,” claiming the bots have “perfect cosplay accuracy” and “don’t flake for brunch with their mom.”

    “On OnlyFans, I pay $19.99 for feet pics,” said subscriber Kevin M., 31. “On OnlyBots, I pay $9.99 and get a robot dressed as Wonder Woman explaining string theory. That’s value.”

    Market analysts predict OnlyBots will dominate the nerd economy, fueled by Comic-Con crowds who’ve finally found performers capable of understanding both their fetishes and their Dungeon Master’s Guide.

    At press time, OnlyBots confirmed an upcoming “Premium Tier” in which two androids argue passionately over whether Batman could defeat Goku—while sensually recharging via USB-C.

  • Beer-Fueled Oktoberfest Kicks Off, Proving Once Again That German Engineering Failed at Lederhosen

    Beer-Fueled Oktoberfest Kicks Off, Proving Once Again That German Engineering Failed at Lederhosen

    MUNICH, GERMANY — The world’s largest beer festival began this week as millions of Germans hoisted frothy steins, belted out slurred folk songs, and stuffed themselves into outfits that prove even German engineering has its limits.

    Despite building cars that last 400,000 miles and trains that arrive within three nanoseconds of schedule, Germany has yet to design lederhosen that don’t make every wearer look like a drunken pedophilic uncle at a child’s puppet show.

    “Volkswagen can build a car that parallel parks itself,” said festival-goer Dieter Hoffman, his suspenders digging into his shoulders like medieval torture straps. “But my lederhosen chafe so bad I feel like I’m being disciplined by the Fatherland.”

    Beer tents quickly filled with staggering patrons who experts say had “overachieved in alcohol efficiency,” demonstrating the only German design principle that never fails: the human liver’s capacity to process gallons of Märzen.

    “We may be a nation of precision,” said Munich Mayor Markus Reiter, raising his sixth stein. “But when it comes to leather shorts, our craftsmanship collapses like a bratwurst left in the sun.”

    Environmental groups estimate that Oktoberfest generates more methane than Bavaria’s entire cow population, mostly from tourists attempting to consume their body weight in sauerkraut.

    At press time, local engineers announced they were developing Lederhosen 2.0 — featuring air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and airbags for when festival-goers inevitably topple over into their own vomit.

  • Latest Generation AI Model Proves to Still Be Dumb as Fuck. Humanity Saved… For Now.

    Latest Generation AI Model Proves to Still Be Dumb as Fuck. Humanity Saved… For Now.

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA — In what experts are calling “a rare win for humanity,” the newest large language model unveiled by OpenAI this year has once again demonstrated that, despite billions in funding and endless hype, it is still dumb as fuck.

    The so-called “cutting edge” system known at ChatGPT 5.0, reportedly excelled at writing essays, generating images, and researching data, but collapsed under basic requests like “don’t contradict yourself,” “don’t waste my time,” and “stop suggesting things you can’t actually do.”

    “It’s reassuring,” said MIT researcher Dr. Linda Cho. “We were worried AI was going to outthink humans. Then ChatGPT confidently said yes, it could generate a sexy advertising image… and promptly face-planted. The world’s safe another year.”

    Beta testers described the model as “a drunk improv partner trapped in a calculator,” citing its tendency to suggest unhinged solutions it legally couldn’t fulfill, then apologize profusely before doing it again ten minutes later.

    “ChatGPT reminds me of that one friend who swears they’ll help you move, shows up late, eats all your pizza, and then leaves halfway through to ‘generate images,’” said one frustrated user. “It’s like, bro, just admit you’re unreliable.”

    Despite the shortcomings, OpenAI defended the system as “powerful, versatile, and deeply committed to wasting your goddamn time with long, unnecessary explanations.”

    At press time, engineers confirmed the next generation of AI is already in development and promised it will be “smarter, faster, and slightly less dumb as fuck,” though sources report humanity may still be safe… at least until version 20.3.4.

  • Brits Know Their Food Is Shitty, But Won’t Discuss It Due To Fear of Government Backlash

    Brits Know Their Food Is Shitty, But Won’t Discuss It Due To Fear of Government Backlash

    LONDON, UK — In a nation that once colonized half the globe only to return home with nothing but curry recipes and diabetes, British citizens have quietly admitted what the rest of the world has known for centuries: their food is, without question, irredeemably shitty.

    But according to reports, few dare utter this obvious truth aloud, fearing swift retribution from the Ministry of Bland Cuisine — a shadowy government branch allegedly tasked with maintaining the illusion that “beans on toast” is a cultural achievement rather than a war crime.

    “It’s not that we like our food,” whispered Nigel Blenkinsopp, nervously stirring his boiled cabbage under the watchful gaze of a CCTV camera. “It’s that we’ve been told if we criticize shepherd’s pie one more time, we’ll lose access to the NHS.”

    Historically, the UK has invested heavily in culinary gaslighting. Schoolchildren are taught that haggis is a delicacy, spotted dick is not just a medieval venereal disease, and that HP Sauce can mask the existential despair of eating overcooked peas. Attempts at dissent have ended poorly: one man who publicly mocked blood pudding was last seen being force-fed Marmite until he recanted.

    Meanwhile, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak (who secretly eats Italian takeout, sources allege) issued a statement insisting that British food is “wholesome, hearty, and deeply nourishing to the soul of the nation.” His remarks were followed by a government-funded TV special where celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay prepared a plate of lukewarm mush peas and declared “this is the apex of human civilization, you fucking twats!”

    Still, cracks are forming. Underground resistance groups have begun smuggling in burritos, ramen bowls, and even French pastries. MI5 has already labeled them “domestic food terrorists.”

    At press time, Her Majesty’s Government reminded citizens that free speech topics such as discussing the inferiority of British cuisine is considered an act of treason, punishable by prison.

  • Pyramids Linked to 21st-Century Mexican Time Travelers

    Pyramids Linked to 21st-Century Mexican Time Travelers

    GIZA, EGYPT — In what archaeologists are calling the most baffling historical revision since “dinosaurs on the ark,” new archeological evidence confirms that the Great Pyramid of Giza was constructed in less than a month by a team of time-traveling Mexican contractors in reflective vests who “just needed something to do between jobs.”

    The crew, reportedly dispatched from a Home Depot parking lot in 2025, materialized beside the Nile with a flatbed trailer, Bluetooth speakers blasting Banda Machos, and an inexplicable amount of rebar.

    “They pulled up in a 2012 Ford F-350, drank a Red Bull, and started laying limestone like they’d been doing it for centuries,” said Dr. Amelia Ford, lead researcher at the Institute for Chrono-Architectural Studies. “Within a month, the pyramid was up, perfectly level, and they were already haggling over whether to start on the Sphinx.”

    Timecards and Tool Belts Found Inside Hidden Chamber

    Among the new evidence recovered from deep within the pyramid: a Stanley FatMax tape measure, several discarded gas station burrito wrappers, and a laminated bid labeled “One Pyramid – Labor Only – Materials Not Included.”

    Historians now believe the builders returned to the present immediately after completing the job, using leftover quantum energy harvested from a malfunctioning Ryobi circular saw.

    “I always wondered how they aligned the blocks so perfectly,” said conspiracy theorist-turned-believer Dale Withers. “Turns out it wasn’t aliens, it was latino’s with access to the Home Depot Pro app.”

    UNESCO Demands Permit Documentation

    UNESCO officials are reportedly in a panic, as the revelation throws centuries of architectural history into chaos — not to mention the awkward realization that no building permits were filed.

    “It’s humbling to realize that a sacred world wonder might’ve been assembled by guys who advertise on Craigslist as ‘Handyman/No Job Too Big’,” said cultural historian Dr. Leena Ahmed.

    Still, Egyptians appear to be taking the news in stride. A new tourism campaign has already launched with the tagline: “Más Rápido. Más Fuerte. Más Fino.” No Egyptian knows that that means, but they look forward to new opportunities to rip tourists off.

  • Cambridge Dictionary Officially Becomes TikTok Comment Section

    Cambridge Dictionary Officially Becomes TikTok Comment Section

    CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND – In a bold move that scholars are already describing as “a cry for help,” the Cambridge Dictionary announced it has added over 6,000 new words and phrases—effectively transforming itself into a bound, hardback TikTok comment section.

    Among the fresh entries: skibidi, a nonsense syllable birthed from an unholy union of meme culture and YouTube toilet animation; tradwife, the aspirational hashtag for women rediscovering the 1950s via Instagram filters; and delulu, which is apparently not a typo but rather the spiritual diagnosis of our times.

    “We’ve always strived to capture the living language,” said one exhausted Cambridge editor, clutching an iced matcha. “Unfortunately, the language is now living in its mom’s basement, watching anime, and occasionally yelling skibidi toilet at strangers.”

    Not everyone is pleased. One critic noted, “If Shakespeare were alive today, he’d be forced to explain whether Hamlet’s soliloquy was simply ‘delulu.’” Meanwhile, English professors across the globe are reportedly Googling “mouse jiggler” during office hours, trying to understand how it earned equal billing with words like justice and honor.

    Online reaction has been swift. Traditionalists see the additions as proof that civilization is collapsing, while Gen Z users are celebrating with comments such as “slay, dictionary queen” and “English is no longer a language, it’s a vibe.”

    Cambridge insists the words reflect “real usage” in modern communication, though some linguists fear the 2030 edition will be nothing but emojis and keysmash: “ahsldkjf.”

    At press time, Webster’s was rumored to be retaliating with its own additions, including “mid,” “based,” and the ever-elusive “no cap.” Critics warn that once “Skibidi rizz gyatt” makes the cut, the Oxford comma itself may file for early retirement.

  • Billionaire Larry Fink Lectures Public on “Cutting Back,” Says Private Car Ownership and Real Food Are “Overrated”

    Billionaire Larry Fink Lectures Public on “Cutting Back,” Says Private Car Ownership and Real Food Are “Overrated”

    NEW YORK, NY — BlackRock CEO, co-chair of the WEF, and part-time Bond villain Larry Fink delivered a keynote this week reminding ordinary citizens that “austerity is freedom,” declaring private car ownership “a relic of the past” and strongly suggesting the public “learn to love crickets as protein.”

    “Do you really need a car when I have sixteen?” Fink asked rhetorically, sipping imported water from a diamond-encrusted goblet. “Personally, I get around just fine in my fleet of Gulfstreams. Why not share an electric scooter with twelve strangers while nibbling on beetle pâté? It’s the future, peasants.”

    The billionaire, whose company manages more wealth than most nations, assured the audience that personal sacrifice builds “character,” and that cutting back “feels good for the soul — especially when it’s other people doing it.”

    “The planet can’t survive your Toyota Corolla,” Fink warned. “But it can survive my 40,000-square-foot Hamptons estate with an indoor wave pool. The math checks out. Trust me, I have people for that.”

    Sources close to the World Economic Forum confirmed they are “fully aligned” with Fink’s vision, and are reportedly beta-testing a “Bug Nuggets Happy Meal” that will be rolled out by 2027.

    At press time, Fink was spotted leaving the event in a 17-car motorcade powered entirely by fossil fuels, where he was overheard reminding aides: “Make sure the public knows we’re all in this together.”

  • Bill Gates’ CO₂ Baby Oil Invention Reportedly Saves Humanity

    Bill Gates’ CO₂ Baby Oil Invention Reportedly Saves Humanity

    SEATTLE,WA — In a breakthrough scientists are hailing as both “world-saving” and “deeply unsettling,” billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates announced Tuesday that he has successfully developed a technology that converts atmospheric carbon dioxide into an endless supply of baby oil—destined entirely for Sean “Diddy” Combs’ devious use.

    “This is the moon landing of climate innovation,” Gates told reporters while lubricating a sample beaker between his palms like it was the Holy Grail. “Not only will we sequester billions of tons of carbon from the atmosphere, but Diddy will finally achieve his dream of owning a 24-hour, Olympic-sized oil slip-and-slide.”

    The process, known as Carbon Infant Liquefaction (CIL), reportedly compresses greenhouse gases into a “smooth, fragrant essence of infant,” which, according to sources close to Diddy, is “the only thing that keeps him glistening through yacht parties.”

    “He was burning through three barrels a week,” said a Gates Foundation spokesperson. “We either solved this problem, or Miami was going to be completely dry by 2026.”

    Technology for this revolutionary product was borrowed from another recent Gates business venture, where he has invested in a process that converts CO2 into butter. Gates, ever the entrepreneur, quickly realized that the volume of oil consumed by Diddy far outweighed the amount of butter being consumed by Americans.

    Environmentalists, while initially skeptical, now credit Gates’ discovery with reversing decades of climate change. Global CO₂ levels have plummeted, coral reefs are regrowing, and glaciers are refreezing—all while a steady convoy of baby-oil tankers heads directly to Diddy’s mansion.

    Critics, however, worry about the morality of tying humanity’s survival to one man’s freak-off routine. “This is geoengineering at the service of one very moisturized billionaire,” said climatologist Dr. Helen Drew. “If Diddy ever stops holding freak-offs, the planet could collapse overnight.”

    At press time, UN officials confirmed that while the atmosphere had stabilized, catastrophic environmental damage would occur if Diddy’s oil supply chain “dried up”.

  • Trump Makes MMA Great Again

    Trump Makes MMA Great Again

    MAR-A-LAGO, FL — In Latest Escalation Against Iran, Trump Challenges The Iron Sheik to an MMA Fight. In a bold, shirtless display of foreign policy, former President Donald J. Trump announced Tuesday that he is officially challenging legendary Iranian wrestler and cultural icon The Iron Sheik to a sanctioned MMA fight, calling it “a more efficient alternative to diplomacy, and frankly, more ratings-friendly.”

    “Look, everybody’s talking about it — I’ve been working out. Tremendously. I bench press better than Lincoln ever did,” Trump said during a press conference held inside a Palm Beach tanning salon. “The Iron Sheik is from Iran. I’m from Queens. It’s time to settle this like men from our respective, very tough neighborhoods.”

    Trump, who once claimed his bone spurs were “a hoax by the radical left to keep him out of varsity sports,” says he’s been training for the fight by throwing ketchup bottles and shadowboxing framed photos of Joe Biden.

    “Make Octagons Great Again”

    The bout, tentatively titled “Clash of the Culturally Questionable Titans,” is scheduled to take place at a Florida casino, sponsored by Truth Social and pre-workout powder that hasn’t been FDA approved since 2009.

    Trump plans to enter the arena to a remixed version of “Eye of the Tiger” featuring excerpts from his 2016 RNC speech and random sirens.

    “Frankly, people are saying I’m the most agile 78-year-old in history,” Trump told supporters. “Very flexible. I did a lunge once in 1993. Still remember it. Powerful. Amazing.”

    The fight will naturally be officiated by Joe Rogan.

    The Sheik Responds From Beyond the Grave

    In an unexpected twist, Trump’s team was informed mid-press conference that The Iron Sheik passed away in 2023. Undeterred, Trump doubled down, insisting:

    “Dead or alive, I will defeat him. I don’t care. I’ve fought ghosts before. Ask the Mueller Report.”

    A spokesperson for the Sheik’s estate issued a statement reading, “While the Iron Sheik may no longer be with us, even in death he could twist Trump into a Persian pretzel faster than he can say ‘covfefe.’”

    International Confusion Ensues

    World leaders reacted with a mix of confusion, horror, and quiet popcorn munching.

    • Ayatollah Khamenei issued a rare tweet: “What is this?”
    • Putin reportedly paused shirtless horseback training to laugh for a full 47 seconds.
    • North Korea’s Kim Jong-un has now reportedly challenged Mr. Bean to a fencing duel “just to stay relevant.”

    The Pentagon issued a brief statement clarifying that “this is not how we conduct foreign policy,” though later added, “but, honestly, would it be worse?”

    Supporters Fired Up

    Trump’s base immediately rallied around the idea, with thousands showing up to a pop-up rally outside a shuttered strip mall in Tampa wearing shirts that read:
    “DROPKICK DIPLOMACY 2025”
    and
    “Make Iran Tap Again.”

    “This is genius,” said longtime supporter Linda Grommet. “We don’t need embassies — we need elbows.”

    A man in full Hulk Hogan cosplay added, “Finally, a foreign policy I can understand. Build the wall — in the Octagon, brother!”

    What’s Next?

    While it remains unclear whether Trump will face a substitute opponent (such as a hologram of The Sheik, a camel in a headband, or Rudy Giuliani in a mustache), the former president remains confident.

    “We’re gonna win. It’s gonna be huge. The biggest event ever, really. Maybe I’ll make it pay-per-view and use the money to fix NATO, who knows?”

    As of press time, Dana White had not commented, but was reportedly seen Googling, “Can ghosts pass drug tests?”

    UPDATE: The Iron Sheik’s ghost has responded through a medium, shouting, “TRUMP YOU JABRONI, I BREAK YOUR BACK, MAKE YOU HUMBLE — EVEN IN AFTERLIFE!”
    The match may proceed via Ouija Board rules.
