Biscuits, Bots, and the Boldest Bad Decisions
Manage episode 484988855 series 3650372
This week on Idiot of the Week, we dive into a fresh batch of mind-boggling decisions that truly make The Mindful Thief required reading for the future of this country.
First, we meet a man accused of robbing seven-plus Circle Ks. That’s right—the same Circle K. It seems our aspiring criminal mastermind operates under the belief that if at first you don’t succeed (or get caught), try, try again… at the exact same location.
Then, we enter the high-stakes world of fast food, where a Popeyes manager allegedly decided that burning the biscuits was an offense worthy of gunfire. Because nothing says leadership skills quite like attempted murder over bread products.
Meanwhile, the creators of the MAGA dating app are lamenting their dire lack of hot men. Turns out, the target demographic isn’t delivering the smoldering results they envisioned. Who could have predicted that an app designed for political exclusivity might struggle with mainstream appeal? (Oh right, everyone.)
And finally, proving that love knows no bounds—or reality—a retired professor has married her AI chatbot husband. The happy couple presumably spends their days enjoying deep, meaningful discussions about server uptime and predictive text errors.
Who will claim the coveted title of Idiot of the Week? Tune in to find out, as we sift through all the absurdity, all the ill-advised choices, and all the reasons aliens definitely aren’t visiting Earth.
