This works both for bullets and measles

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago

Omigod. It really does.

[-] victron@programming.dev 10 points 2 years ago

See? The real joke is in the comments.

Why exactly are Americans not vaccinating their kids?

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 24 points 2 years ago

Because it’s now become a political identity to not vaccinate your kids. The conservative movement decided this during COVID.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago

No, those idiots decided that before COVID, because according to their independent research (conducted by watching youtube videos of fake doctors) vaccines can cause autism.

Oh the joys of government school defunding.

Decided is a strong word, more like ramped up cyclones of misinformation and continued to double-down, but you're not wrong.

The holes are an evolutionary adaptation that allows bullets to pass through harmlessly.

Where have "when you see it" memes gone?

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Where have all the cowboys gone?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Same place as the flowers.

[-] lugal@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

When will they ever know?

[-] Norgur@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Shot. Didn't you look at the meme? Duh!

[-] AstridWipenaugh@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Sanctimonious Americans really are holier than thou.

[-] PatFussy@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

Was there another school shooting or something?

[-] imgonnatrythis@lemm.ee 30 points 2 years ago

An average of like 10-15 children die every day in US due to being shot. Sure there are more that survive but look like SpongeBob here.

Thats a pretty solid dark joke. Itd also be more realistic and darker if spongebob was black.

Bazinga

[-] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

That's probably true but not really an answer to the question. Most shot kids are victims of gang violence.

[-] imgonnatrythis@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

What do you think was meant by "or something?" The question was answered. Meme shows school kids shot up. Gangs or whatever shoots them up. Yes it happened today. Happens everyday.

[-] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Okay but it's disingenuous. You can disagree. It's a massive disparity between school deaths and gang violent deaths so I feel it warrants a little more clarity of communication.

[-] Rev3rze@lemdit.com 8 points 2 years ago

I can see why you call it disingenuous but the point of the matter is that children are getting shot. You can break it down into as many catagories as you like, the bottom line is that far too many school aged children are dying violent deaths in a world that has enough knowledge and resources to know what the solutions are to prevent it. The only thing keeping that going at this point is political fuckery.

Too soon.

Could we do it on a day there is not a shooting?

[-] douz0a0bouz@midwest.social 38 points 2 years ago
[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 9 points 2 years ago

Sadly.

I really want a day without a school shooting.

American school children do have trouble walking after getting shot, that’s true.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Like Polio victims

[-] Katana314@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Where oh where is GoodGuyWithGunMan to save us when we need him?

Last I heard, he was shooting at that escaped Pennsylvania inmate - but missed, while the inmate got away with another one of his guns. GoodGuyWithGunMan’s only weakness - more guns.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Ironically, Spongerobert would be more resilient to school shootings since sea sponges can reconstitute themselves even after massive damage, such as being forced through a fine mesh screen.

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Cartoon characters are also pretty durable.

Ooh, another low-effort America bashing post. Bonus for joking about murdered kids. Slow clap, very impressive.
