Various images of the smiling Pillsbury Doughboy with accompanying text:
Pillsbury Doughboy with arms raised joyfully in the air – "HE IS RISEN! HAPPY EASTER!"
Pillsbury Doughboy with arms raised joyfully in the air, but with his usual puffiness replaced by the mottled appearance of unleavened crackers – "HE IS NOT! HAPPY PASSOVER!"
Pillsbury Doughboy with one arm raised as though signaling – "HE IS OFF LIMITS UNTIL SUNDOWN! HAPPY RAMADAN!"
Pillsbury Doughboy with arms folded across his chest – "HE IS AN OFFERING TO THE ANCESTORS! GOOD WISHES FOR QINGMING!"
End ID.]
All these are references to some belief systems and their connections to food, around the world:
- The Easter Doughboy's text is a play on the leavening of baked products made by the Pillsbury company, as well as the belief of Christ's resurrection ("He is risen") celebrated at Easter;
- The Passover Doughboy's text is a reference to the practice of consuming unleavened cracker-like flatbreads (matzah or matzo) at the Jewish festival of Passover, when leavening is forbidden;
- The Ramadan Doughboy's text is a reference to the fasting month of Ramadan, when Muslims are forbidden from eating anything (including, presumably, a halal Pillsbury Doughboy) from dawn to sunset;
- The Qingming Doughboy's text is a reference to the practice of offering food to deceased ancestors at the Chinese Qingming festival (including, presumably, an edible Pillsbury Doughboy).
This year (2023) all four of the above religious observances fall within close proximity of each other, in the month of April.
Reblogging because it's that time of year again.
This year (2024) all four of the above are still in fairly close proximity to each other, although they cross over from March into April:
- Ramadan – early March to early April (dates may vary according to region).
- Easter – 31 March 2024.
- Qingming – 4 April 2024.
- Passover – 22 April 2024.
It's gonna be such a funny mess when Donald Trump dies of a stroke on April 1st, 2024.
- Naturally everybody will think it's fake because of the date only to lose their minds (both positively and negatively based on their opinion of trump) when realizing it's real
- There will be massive celebrations in the streets and on social media and lots of predictable "don't speak ill of the dead" discourse about those celebrations
- Weird evangelicals will pull some weird number trick talking about how Jesus was conceived on April 1st and that makes Trump a sort of messiah and people will make fun of that
- The Republicans (after they're done with the faux-sadness and faux-outrage) will stomp over each other to be his successor but none of them will succeed. They'll tear each other apart and have no single nominee for the November elections.
- There will be discourse about if Biden and the living former presidents should go to his funeral (they won't, he was a traitor insurrectionist)
- The Ukraine-Russia War immediately goes in favor of Ukraine as morale in the Kremlin is reduced. China similarly backs off from its threats on Taiwan.
- Ten thousand new memes are made, some sticking around for years to come.
- Not a month later a bunch of unofficial biographies of Trump hit the bookshelves, many with new details about just how awful he was.
Like to charge, reblog to cast
Honestly? They had me at "Trump dies".
I like how you said “when” and not “if” is there something you wish to share with the class?
Yes, it's called self confidence.
I would like to gift you this, in the spirit of supporting your prophecy
