The holes are an evolutionary adaptation that allows bullets to pass through harmlessly.
Life finds a way.
This works both for bullets and measles
Why exactly are Americans not vaccinating their kids?
Because it’s now become a political identity to not vaccinate your kids. The conservative movement decided this during COVID.
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.
The wild thing is, much prior to the pandemic, I associate not vaccinating with the hippy dippy alternative medicine vegan crowd.
And freckles lol

Was there another school shooting or something?
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
That’s probably true but not really an answer to the question. Most shot kids are victims of gang violence.
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.
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.
Is it a massive disparity or is it a simple common demoninator of guns are far too easy to obtain in the US? There is an incredibly strong correlation between stringent gun control and less school and gang shootings of children in many other nations.
What’s this obsession with minimising school shootings while maximising gang violence? Sounds very much like a racist dog whistle.
Because they have different causes and different solutions.
Car crashes are killing X people; if you insist on treating all car crashes as though they were caused by someone intentionally driving into a crowd–versus inattentive drivers or driving drunk–then you aren’t going to be able to solve the problem.
Idunno, making guns a lot harder to obtain would help a lot with both and so would replacing a lot of cops in both poorer neighborhoods and schools with social workers and mental health professionals 🤷
I think you’re right in what you’re saying but not what I think you’re implying. The solution to one problem is mental health regulations, the solution to the other is improper use regulations. Which are different, but fall under the same umbrella.
Either way, taking about cars is exactly where I’d take the comparison because it’s the only other commonly owned (highly effective) weapon in the us. We require a license to use one and liability insurance to own one, then take that license away if you show that you can’t use it properly. That’s exactly what if like to see happen to guns.
“Children” in that stat includes gang members and suicides. Still bad things, but don’t misrepresent what’s going on.
Children in those stats are human beings under 18 years old.
Yikes!
I know what you did last summer Steve
Oh no!
A case of mistaken identity! Are you the little old lady from My Cousin Vinny?
Haha what kind of a name is Stove anyway?
Just my name with a typo and then it stuck
I was just kidding, it’s a line from bridesmaids.
Haha ok!
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?
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.
Where have “when you see it” memes gone?
Hell. Where they should be
Too soon.
Could we do it on a day there is not a shooting?
Soooo…never?
Sadly.
I really want a day without a school shooting.
What about weekends?
Good point.
Just searched for “Sept 10 2023 school shooting” and that appears to have been a day without a school shooting.
Looks like a person (not a student) was shot on school grounds, but from an incident miles away. I do not understand the school to have been in session (in fact I am unclear the shooting was on school grounds, versus the school being the nearest landmark.)
(Honestly, I am trying to emphasize what a shit pile of school shootings we have.)
For the purposes of my objection, I do not object to weekend posting.
There is a park in my neighborhood that is right next to an elementary school, and the parking lot for the school is right next to the playground part of the park, so on weekends a lot of people park in the school parking lot to go to the park, it’s conceivable for a shooting to occur “on school grounds” on a weekend…
As an aside, what’s more American than driving to your closest neighborhood park?
Huh, you’re right! Also that makes me think of a very good solution to school shootings that somehow nobody is talking about, why don’t we just ban schools? If kids aren’t going to school in the first place then they aren’t going to get shot there. It’s so simple!
God dammit
Lets not talk about the multiple per year mass school stabbings that happen in China.
Non-Americans are photoshopping their pours more often? Ah, geez… Sending thoughts and prayers. That’s awful, everyone.
I did good today. I can put it in the Mrs. Butt tonight, now!
