Texas banned Ding Dongs because of woke 
Not banned, you just can't own more than six. Or was that dildos?
Literally never heard doorbell ditch, its ding dong ditch
I've also heard it as Ring Run Ronno, although that was in an episode of ENA, so I don't know if it has widespread use or not.
It's like when you leave a restaurant without paying. The ol' chew and leave
I've actually heard that one as "chew 'n screw", probably short for "screw off" as in leave. But yeah, "dine and dash" is the more common term.
Yeah, we always knew it as ding dong ditch, like the sound the bell makes.
its also a summary of the order of events required to take the action
I want to believe that it was somebody using an AI chatbot to write the article.
I've heard the Japanese call it 'pin pon dasshu'.
Vat-grown journalist has not heard of thing kids have been doing since the 1980's
Used to do this with the boys all the time back in the 90s. Annoying I am sure but harmless fun. Until some rabid chud wastes you I guess.
"I just want to go back to the good old days."
Neighborhood kid does a harmless, 40-year-old prank
BLAMMO
Do the contradictions never cease?
And they're probably going to blame the kids ignoring the fact that you used to be able to do this without fear of getting shot.
Ding dong ditch goes back further than the 1980s too, that’s just the modern name for it. In the UK it’s called knock, knock, run or knock down ginger and has been a thing since the 1800s.
One time I did it, it was hella late at night and dark so I didn't notice the window was already cracked until my hand was going through it. I bled a lot
HOUSTON, TEX. - "Doorbell Ditch", the latest gang initiation that is sweeping the nation. Like the knock out game and the one where if you flash your lights at someone driving at night without their lights on, a gang of satanic cannibals will hunt you down and murder you, "Doorbell Ditch" is a sinister activity for youth gang culture to become initiated into MS13. The gang initiate rings your doorbell, runs off to pick up a gun, and then returns to shoot you when you answer. The only way to be safe is to execute the child that does it before they find the gun. Then you get in trouble because of woke, which is what these gangs want. You just can't win as a white man in America anymore. Earn $27,938/hr from home.
per hour!?
you've got my attention
dog just yell curse words at the kids smh
Retvrn and start waving a cane about your head while yelling about "dang kids these days have no respect, back in my day, yadda yadda yadda"
You know, classic harmless crank stuff
I would simply not fear an 11 year old. Kids who are like 8-12ish are usually pretty cool. Old enough you can more or less interact like you would anyone else but not teenage enough to be compulsively an asshole, plus while you can for sure still beat them at video games they can at least hold their own now. From being around different friend's different kids over the years and watching them time to time, they're pretty agreeable even. Definitely not worth shooting
Considering what I was like at 10, kids that age can be pretty obnoxious. But like, maybe I was uniquely bad because I was going through my right-libertarian phase. My politics improved, I think I'm still kinda weird socially and have a tendency to hyperfixate on stuff.
Yeah, but you remember immediately that they're children again once they interact with their younger peers, or if they get upset
“Doorbell ditch”
AI could do better than this. Fuck modern day journalism
