If a Serbian nationalist hadn't shot the damn archduke of Austria then Hideki Tojo wouldn't've sank the majority of the US pacific fleet decades later.

I first read it as "archdude" and i hereby start a petition to normalize this word

Are you sure you want to credit us with all that? First the invisible bombers...

[–] ZMonster@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Butterfly affect. You literally just made it rain here. Do you have no decency? How dare you!?!

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

If he hadn't been hangry for a sandwich...

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 93 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Honestly, this doesn’t even make enough sense to be a shitpost

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 46 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think, in this case, that’s what makes it a shitpost.

OOP asks a valid question, though. I don’t remember what Serbia did, either.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 110 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The actual answer is ethnic cleansing in Bosnia and Kosovo, the former of which was the first post-WWII genocide legally recognised by the ICJ

Moreover, as the meme indicates, their citizenry continues to feel as though the intervention was unwarranted. at least in large part. No state-level population is a monolith.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 15 points 2 months ago

They know what they did, they just want to do it again.

[–] magnetosphere@fedia.io 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thank you. I had forgotten about that horrible little bit of history.

[–] rain_enjoyer@sopuli.xyz 13 points 2 months ago

It's also a reason why there's Bill Clinton statue in Prishtinë

[–] signalsayge 33 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I guess it's a shitpost because Hawaii is not technically covered by NATO...

[–] lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

True, it's the only member of the NPTO instead

[–] AppleTea@lemmy.zip 25 points 2 months ago

...what...?

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, I see the history understander has logged on again...

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Mayonese-Jar is a real one <3

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (4 children)

P.S.

We still haven't forgotten 9/11.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Weird how 9/11 happened on the 11th of September, the date lines up so perfectly, really makes you think 🤔

[–] OozingPositron@feddit.cl 7 points 2 months ago

The one from 1973 right?

[–] xiwi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

Ah that's why we bombed Iran, got it

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The sad part about being an ironic moron in shitposter places is that you inevitably attract unironic morons who ruin the whole vibe :(

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I didn't interpret them as being unironic. It seems fairly clear they're playing along with the shit post.

Edit: talking about the person you replied to specifically

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I think they were just making a general comment, too, not describing the commenter above.
