Man those things already look ideal to knock over, you're asking for some tiktok stunt to take this down lol

P l e a s e

That would be gold

It was 23 years ago now. It's entirely possible that the manager who had that put up doesn't even remember 9/11.

Nothing wrong with this

..Is this putting shoppers in the role of the hijackers?

I hate buying 12 packs and then finding out that half of the cans are depressurized(and unfizzed!) from being crushed because of these stackings :(

Anyone else remember South Park episode Jared has Sides? Takes 22ish years before something is funny. Probably not this but it was pretty close to that for timing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Years not days?

It’s not the time that makes stuff funny but the skill of the comedian

I remember there were funny jokes about 9/11 10 years ago. something with plane and dumb terrorists I can’t remember now but it was hilarious

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I agree mostly but you do need some time, that was sort of the key, not the actual timeframe. The best jokes one month later would not work regardless how good they were. Well anywhere in the US. Even you said a decade later, that's over half an adult worth of time for a human growing up.

I don’t need your agreement. I was joking about plane crash that killed all our government, the day after it occurred.
Probably the key is to not have anyone you care about in it so to say because that would definitely make you sad for few weeks and also obv choose your audience in a sane manner

Imagine how different the world might be if the U.S. hadn't systematically interfered in every popular, leftist movement in South America in the last 50 years; that's even without mentioning the Banana Wars in Central America in the preceding 50.

These coke can arrangements are getting wild lol

Yet we’re still doing business with Saudi Arabia, who actively participated in planning the attack at a state level

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The reason, same with Israel, is because the US needs allies in the Middle East. A lot of "shock and awe" was launched from bases in Saudi Arabia. Which is extremely unsettling. But it highlights why the US keeps these countries as allies.

who actively participated in planning the attack at a state level

None of this is true. He was an outlaw in Saudi Arabia and left it in the 1990s and never returned. The US though was still working with Alqaeda in Central Asia before 9/11/2001.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

there were state officials sending video in DC etc. They’ve found evidence of all that after. State officials played a role in helping.

What happened on the 9th of November? I forgot.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

1307 – Knights Templar officer Hugues de Pairaud is forced to confess during the Trials of the Knights Templar. He was persecuted on the charges of false idolism and sodomy.

Cursed jenga?

This may come off as ignorant, but what is that whole "We will never forget" supposed to mean? Like for what purpose will you keep reminding yourself of this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

If you keep pickin’ that scab it ain’t gonna heal right.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

It was pretty much stolen from Holocaust survivors. The original idea was 'never forget the Holocaust so that people will understand that hatred leads to genocide.'

It has no concrete meaning in this context as far as I can tell.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Control.

"You have to take off your shoes at the airport and then let a random person take pictures of you naked before getting on a flight because we need to prove that you're not a terrorist. Remember what happened the last time we didn't do that? You can either submit to us, or we can have another terrorist attack."

It also marks a time in history when people started going back to church in order to find some semblance of an explanation, and the churches like the increased attendance. They've got to keep us scared that the "terrorists" are around every corner, and they have the only solution.

I think it was just the brand of right wing patriotism under Bush. That's back when people used to wear NYPD hats and t-shirts even though they weren't cops.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

FDNY shirts/hats were everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yes those too. That was super weird to me.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Somehow I have that burning desire to buy exactly that case of soda(?). Just for fun.
