I fell for it. I’m a dumbass.

BERLIN, Sept 4 (Reuters) - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz joked that he was eagerly awaiting social media reaction after an official photograph released on Monday showed him wearing an eye patch following a weekend jogging accident.

Ok folks, do we think it was really a jogging accident?

[–] WtfEvenIsExistence@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He always wanted to be an actor, this "accident" was his plan all along so he could cosplay while running a country. Brilliant!

Welcome our matey Captain Scholz

Yarrr!

Wanted to be?

I would prefer for no public figure ever to become the community logo. Especially if it's a political figure.

Captain Olaf was so boring,
When he found a ship to hit,
He spent six months in discussions,
And his pirate crew all quit.

And then he did it again because he forgot the result!

Not really but this would also be a really funny community image so petition signed

[–] gamey@feddit.rocks 16 points 1 year ago

Not sure if you know what you vouch for here, I definitely don't want to see that ugly face every day!

[–] ram@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I'm with you there

[–] Historical_General@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Seems unkind lol.

Nah... he is actually and very subtly admitting to be a pastafarian.
