I blame the parents. That baby broke a table leg with his head, and his dad is like, “maybe he’s just a late bloomer.” No, dude, that’s an undiagnosed concussion inflicted on a soft skulled baby — that’s brain damage.

What are you going to do about it? Every baby gets those.

[-] Javi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 1 week ago

That's actually why the dad believes the baby is a late bloomer; It took him this long to get a concussion? He's practically a toddler now!

[-] SilverCode@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I mean, I couldn't even crawl before I rolled off the bed and hit the floor with my head while my Mom was trying to change me.

I like turtles 🐢

Actually the kid is clearly superhuman and the parents failed to recognize it. No way a human baby could break a solid table leg.

And this is what you get when you buy the cheapest table!

Plasticity. Otherwise every one in the human race would be soft lobotomized before 3.

Just wait until the next time the groundskeeper comes by with his lawnmower.

[-] stray@pawb.social 79 points 1 week ago

Hope bro had an enjoyable life despite his judgy-ass parents.

Capitalist propaganda posting is worse than horny posting.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 week ago

what do you mean everybody knows you gotta be a neuroscientist billionaire or else you failed in life.

[-] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 60 points 1 week ago

Evidence this man is a failure:

Can break tables with his soft infantile head

Cannot ride bike

Can do weed

Has a job

Rip, bozo. What a fucking idiot

Oh god I didn't notice. Actually irredeemable

It's saved by Castle Rat, obviously.

Judgmental ass comic lol

Those parents clearly never "bloomed" either. A baby shouldn't have been able to destroy a table leg unless it was completely rotted out. The bike tire must have been already bent. Falling off of it in the middle a field doesn't twist up the front wheel like that. It looks like the front wheel failed and the kid was ejected forward.

That poor kid grew up in a dangerous household with neglectful parents.

How can a completely rotted out baby break a table leg?

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well most depictions of zombies do show them with superhuman strength.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

when the core has nothing inside it, the abs flex inwards instead of doing what they're supposed to. that was a fun thing to learn.

[-] 0_o7@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 1 week ago

Bloomer humor

It's like what happens when parents don't teach their kid and expect them to just know everything.

[-] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 week ago

A "late bloomer" can live a perfectly happy and fulfilling life if you just support and believe in them the same as you would a bright kid.

Plot Twist: The parents were killed in a car accident on the way home from the hospital with their new son. While he survived, miraculously uninjured, and was adopted out, the parents became ghosts, unseen, hovering over him for the rest of his life ... to reunite only at the end.

[-] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

Would make sense except they have different clothes and get grey hair

Ghost fashions are mysterious to us living people.

[-] oldscratchXV@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Gee, thanks. As if I didn't feel bad enough about my life already./s

He was an early doomer.

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 week ago

The fuck is this supposed to mean?

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 week ago

I think it's just a play on the word "bloom" as the flowers bloom after he's dead as opposed to being someone that "bloomed" in life

[-] Gold_E_Lox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

pro suicide propaganda

[-] TheFrirish@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 11 points 1 week ago

I like this is neither edgy nor funny.

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago
[-] kshade@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

There's flowers blooming on the grave in the last panel.

[-] Star 2 points 1 week ago

Funny how many people overlook that :)

[-] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Thanks! That's quite funny, actually

[-] Beep@lemmus.org 8 points 1 week ago
