because killing everyone you disagree with will fix your life?

guarantee you this person advocated for glassing the middle east in the early 2000s

I'd put money on it. Like a decent amount. 100% this guy was a "muslamists aren't compatible with our values" ghoul and still probably is. It's cos the ceo was white he's blates mad.

Who wants to bet he’s advocated for the funny rope day at least once?

To me “glassing” someone means hitting them over the head with a pint glass. What’s it mean in the context you’ve posted?

[–] redtea@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 10 months ago (1 children)

When the heat from bombs is hot enough to turn sand into glass.

Thank you.

What a fucking world we live in though.

Okay but now imagine if everyone in England nuked eachother when they got drunk, instead of beating each other with glass

[–] TheWolfOfSouthEnd@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Can you elaborate please? I’m not sure what you mean.

I don't really mean anything, I was just amused by the idea of the english meaning of "glassing" being the same as the military meaning, but nothing else being changed. There's no depth to it, I just found myself chuckling at the image of some old geezer going "oi mate!" and then just... explosion over a disagreement about when tottenham was most shit

Actually that has me giggling. I’ve never seen anyone get glassed, though. I’ve heard numerous stories though, probably mostly bollocks, cause that’s what people do. Bet they’re all based on this scene.

Lmao I knew it would be the trainspotting scene. Yeah glassing someone in reality would be psycho behaviour, breaking a pint glass over someones head could easily kill them. It's always someones friends mates cousin who's done it

Used to work with a lad who told me on New Years Eve multiple bottles got broken over his head, but he knew he was going to be alright cause the bottles were breaking.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Nuking a place, especially a desert will create lots of glass from the heat. So "glassing" a place is slang for nuking it, or just bombing it so hard nothing remains.

[–] miz@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

in this context it means a bunch of nuclear strikes, which in the American imagination would turn all of the sand there to glass
