deflection ramen

An intricate instant ramen dish made with almost any ingredients for the purpose of waking up your friend just long enough to feed them, and make sure they dont do something stupid.

He was literally passed out drunk trying to fuck that beast until he ate my deflection ramen. He finally ate and came to his senses.

"You are deflecting his bullying onto his upbringing rather than his emotional control."

Streisand Deflect

When a powerful person, company, or institution deliberately floods the internet with unrelated but highly searchable content in order to bury or “deflect” attention from an embarrassing rumor, scandal, or conspiracy.

The move usually involves releasing something with the exact same keyword as the damaging story, so when people Google it, they get the official, harmless version instead of the scandal.

Examples:
• People joked that Disney named the movie Frozen so that when you search “Disney Frozen,” you get the animated princess and not stories about Walt Disney’s frozen head.
• Rumors spread that Beyoncé had a year-long affair with her bodyguard; not long after, she dropped a song called Bodyguard.
• Gross gossip about Dubai “chocolate porta-potties” parties started circulating, then suddenly “Dubai Chocolate” became a big marketing push.

“Bro, Sama is using Sora to make videos of himself commiting ‘crimes’? That’s a Streisand Deflect if I’ve ever seen one…”

Democrats: “Do you have any evidence of the election being stolen?”

Republicans: “UH…. UH…..HUNTER BIDEN’s LAPTOP”

Democrats: “Ah yes. The old deflection tactic”.

DEFLECT TO KIDS

Noooo! I forgot that part! In the Single men crisis one!? Yes!

Hym "Step 4: DEFLECT TO KIDS. This single men crisis can only be solved by ignoring the single men crisis entirely and breeding new boys who will hypothetically be both not single and not in crisis! Shit! I had that one ready in the abstract but then I forgot. It was supposed to be #3 but then I forgot and then I replaced it with the new step 3 and THIS ONE was integral. God damnit! I hate having to retcon things back in like this. Deflect to kids. We need to breed more fat-cocks. That's the solution."
