dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

BUT AT WHAT COST?!?!

[–] NewDark@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago (3 children)

How was this calculated? Did it count our proxies? While I'm sure the number is high, that seems a little large and I want to look into it.

[–] blobjim@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It says on average. But it doesn't say whether its per bombs in a single day or averaged over every day and it doesn't say if its 40 years or what. Because it's a kinda low effort dumb meme. Good way to frame things but needs to cite a source or something.

https://progressive.org/latest/usa-bombs-drop-benjamin-davies-220112/ it's a 20 year average, including both bombs and missile strikes, and may include coalition partner bombings when they are acting under US command

https://progressive.org/latest/usa-bombs-drop-benjamin-davies-220112/ I suspect this is the source (or another source quoting #s from the same 2022 pentagon report)

it's a 20 year average

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Its insane that its a 20 year average

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

yeah! and not including people they sell weapons to, just forces under active US command, like wtf

[–] NewDark@hexbear.net 1 points 8 months ago

Awesome. Thank you!

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

it seems a bit large but just operation iraqi freedom accounts for like 1.5 years at 46/day so its not implausible lol. Once you start including proxies it almost could be lowballing it

Just hook me up to the IV. Pump it straight into my veins.

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I've appropriated the meme format bugs-stalin

Would be funnier if there was 46 small pills

[–] Class_of_1917@hexbear.net 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

46 very large, but easy for Americans to swallow pills

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 1 points 8 months ago

They're 99% sugar, like every other food in this country

Idk what about Genshin Impact?

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 8 months ago

hoyoverse dropped 3 bombs on the world, genshin impact, honkai star rail and zenless zone zeroes.

[–] AmericaDelendaEst@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

[–] Aquilae@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They've started making an*me though recently so that's about as bad

[–] miz@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Even if we're pedantic and count 1989 (when Vietnam and China ended all border tensions because before there was ovaisonal low level fighting), it's still like 35 years.

[–] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

Out pedanted, I deserve it

[–] pbsds@lemmy.ml -1 points 8 months ago (4 children)

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 8 months ago
