This works both for bullets and measles
Omigod. It really does.

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.
Decided is a strong word, more like ramped up cyclones of misinformation and continued to double-down, but you’re not wrong.
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
The holes are an evolutionary adaptation that allows bullets to pass through harmlessly.
Life finds a way.
I’m dead 💀
So are the school kids
Stop, you are killing me!
Where have “when you see it” memes gone?
Where have all the cowboys gone?
Same place as the flowers.
When will they ever know?
Shot. Didn’t you look at the meme? Duh!
Hell. Where they should be
Sanctimonious Americans really are holier than thou.
*holeyer
I remember someone posting this on Reddit then had a breakdown in the comments over a British accent joke
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.
I can see why you call it disingenuous but the point of the matter is that children are getting shot. You can break it down into as many catagories as you like, the bottom line is that far too many school aged children are dying violent deaths in a world that has enough knowledge and resources to know what the solutions are to prevent it. The only thing keeping that going at this point is political fuckery.
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.
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.
God dammit
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?
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!
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?
Who is telling you we have them everyday?
Uh, the news. According to GunViolenceArchive (link here ) who are not themselves necessarily a reputable source but do gather their information from relatively reputable sources, mostly police records and government sources, they actually don’t have one listed for today! Hooray! But there was one yesterday in Florida and three more the day before that in Michigan, Indiana, and New Jersey.
Days without shootings do happen but are shockingly rare. Just take a look at the list there.
Nothing on that site claims that it’s “school” shooting. Just “Mass Shootings”.
I really want a day without a school shooting.
Who is telling you we have them everyday?
Insert source unrelated to SCHOOL Shootings.
The simple answer is that they don’t happen everyday…
Juvenile suspect arrested in connection to deadly shooting at St. Helena school; class canceled until Friday
What happened today?
Ironically, Spongerobert would be more resilient to school shootings since sea sponges can reconstitute themselves even after massive damage, such as being forced through a fine mesh screen.
Cartoon characters are also pretty durable.
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?

Yikes!
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!
i orniginally though this was a joke related to television
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!
