For true stories that are so ridiculous, that you could have sworn it was an !theonion worthy story.

It's really just a Kinetic clock. It keeps the kids entertained for hours.
White House says it has tech that can "manipulate time and space"
It's booze. You drink too much and next thing you know you are half town away and few hours later.
Sounds like an AI tech presentation
I’ve got the ability to manipulate time and space.
It’s called a bus, and patience.
"Being able to move" sounds a lot less impressive than "manipulating the space-time continuum."
The viral interpretation of Kratsios's comment reflects the growing impact of social media in framing public understanding of government messaging.
While the White House has not issued a formal clarification, the speech's wording suggests the phrase was metaphorical—intended to refer to the transformative nature of modern innovation, not literal manipulation of space-time, or the invention of time travel.
Look who's talking about "framing" with a fucking headline like that. Damn clickbait, and doesn't even provide the context that suggests the sentence is metaphorical... It's not the Onion, but it's not journalism either.
Oh, so that's why we've ended up in this shitty timeline!
Stupid cunts.
That's an interesting way to describe "lies".
You think they are hiding a couple of black holes in there?
Maybe the idiots are just saying that in reference to learning the commands to change the system clock and to delete files.
They were vague about which time and space after all.
