This works both for bullets and measles

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 27 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 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 11 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 (2 children)

Where have all the cowboys gone?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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!

Was there another school shooting or something?

[–] imgonnatrythis@lemm.ee 25 points 2 years ago (20 children)

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.

Sanctimonious Americans really are holier than thou.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

Cartoon characters are also pretty durable.

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.

A sponge that was a solid block of cellulose wouldn't work as a sponge. So I guess that's supposed to be BlockofCelluloseBob Squarepants?

Too soon.

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

[–] douz0a0bouz@midwest.social 34 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 7 points 2 years ago (11 children)

Sadly.

I really want a day without a school shooting.
