"Pokemon creature" is the most inhuman way to say that.

It's Breloom, for those that want to know what Pokemon without reading the article.

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Figures, breloom totally looks like it kills CEOs

From: https://pokemon.fandom.com/wiki/Breloom

They dislike humans in their territory, but will not attack unless provoked. They almost always fight when they sense danger.

breloom

Solid pick.

Not Spinda. Garbage.

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

If you can't build Spinda up without tearing every other Pokemon down, you don't truly respect it.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You don't know what it's like being a Spinda fan...

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

Neither do you, it seems. You're not a Spinda fan, you're a not-Spinda hater.

Hilarious

That’s led to a variety of theories about what 286 could mean, including one post on X with more than 22 million views that implies the number points to a health insurance code about denied coverage.

Every real number is associated with denied health insurance coverage.

Maybe this, but the Proverbs explanation is more convincing. Also, I agree he might just be a Breloom fan.

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 months ago

People asking why someone posted a picture of a pokemon to social media. It's can't just be that he likes Breloom or anything.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

He has a Breloom on a social media profile.

Memes coming out of this have been pretty good, tbh.

Lol bullet seed hit three times and was super effective

Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways

Proverbs 28:6

[–] _lilith@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Ha Breloom used bullet seed
