This is freaky, people were posting on Lemmy only about 2 or 3 days ago about how they wished he'd hurry up and cark it and someone posted that same picture of Lenny from the Simpsons with 0 days of life without Kissinger. Was there some sign that he was on the edge particularly or was this just a weird coincidence? I know he was old, but he seemed to be taking some kind of elixir or something that had sustained him all this time.

this is a meme so common that, for years, there's been a comic of death standing next to a claw machine saying "is kissinger even in this thing?" that gets posted every time someone less evil than him dies.

People have been hoping upon hope for his death for 50 years, today just happened to be the lucky day

There's 300m people in USA, it's not at all unlikely that many people each day wish someone as well known as this cunt was dead.

Yes but it was many people, and especially specifically that Lenny meme that is now being posted again with a "1". I thought maybe he has some health problems or something.

I mean he was 100, literally sneaked in death's door and somehow went unnoticed in the hallway for a time.
