For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

This card sequence is intended to signify that OP is in MS-13.

  • Queen (Man, not)
  • King (Sovereign)
  • Ace (Hyphen)
  • 1 (1)
  • 2 (3)

2 (3)

Damn, and I thought I was subtle enough.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's some mental gymnastics if I ever saw it.

Excuse my ignorance, but what does MS-13 mean?

[–] vaguerant@fedia.io 24 points 1 week ago

It's a Californian street gang. The current US administration has taken to rounding up people they don't like and deporting them without due process on the basis that they are members of MS-13, using highly dubious interpretations of innocuous things which they claim are secret MS-13 codes (like in my comment).

How insidious! The two standing in for the three is particularly damning. They think us all fools! Thank you for breaking that down for us, we truly are surrounded on all sides.

The 2 is a 3, because 1+2=3

[–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

It's written in the cards.

At first I though this was a Balatro screenshot. My brain is fried.

Those are Balatro cards. They just seem to be replicated in real life.

Is it a typo or do the also have aces and 1's for all suites in this deck?

[–] Object@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

According to their merch shop, I don't think they do, unfortunately. Would've been funny to give all those people a brain pause moment.

[–] Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I think that they do, they have a full deck

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago

balatro straight players only want one thing and it's disgusting.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you really want to mess with people, use a 5-suit deck lol

A possible tarot reading would be a love affair/relationship (ace of hearts) between a (possibly) older woman (queen of spades) with nefarious intents will lead to severe problems with the mans (king of hearts) family (ace of hearts+ace of clubs) and to an ugly break, between the couple and between familuy members (2 of clubs).

A bad throw, if I've ever seen one.

How many cards are there in the deck? :'D

[–] towerful@programming.dev 6 points 1 week ago

If you've played 52 card pickup, you will LOVE 56 card pickup!

[–] TrippaSnippa@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

How many playing card packs have you been opening? Generally you want to optimise your deck by cutting it down but I have had a good run with a big deck build with the right jokers to make it work.
