This saying never made sense to me. You already have trapped the fish. If you shoot them, they become inedible. Why not just starve them, or tip the bucket over and a couple minutes later bam, dinner for the whole village.

Who tf was like 'ima blast these little swimming fools' and why in the fuck were people like 'that sounds like a great idea, I can be a real badass now'. Those people just sound like wannabes.

Now who's helping me tip over this barrel?

Have you never heard a saying before?

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

That doesn't dismiss the fact that the premise is incredibly stupid.

So is a bull in a china shop but that's what sayings usually are.

And who's the fucking asshole that steals candy from a baby??

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Hey now, babies shouldn't have candy. It's a choking hazard, I'm doing them a favor!

No it is not. It means to do something really simple - which shooting a fish in a barrel is. It doesn't need to be the most logical thing people do, it just needs to be easy.
