I mean to be fair, there’s nothing you can write on a bomb that makes it better

“Hope this message finds you well”

“Tell your mother I said thank you for the birthday card”

“Save 10% at checkout when you enter the code FREEPALESTINE”

"We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty."

I don't think people write on bombs to make it better, it's to add insult to ~~injury~~ death

[-] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 11 points 4 weeks ago

This old picture has the writing "Easter eggs for Hitler" on the bombs. I think the use case makes the biggest difference for whether writing a message is perceived as sinister. A bomb which is being sent to someone who has been confirmed to regularily attack civilian targets is not great.

To Russia, With Love.

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 4 weeks ago

That's very funny.

I wonder what the earliest example is of someone writing messages on outbound projectile weapons, or if there are any examples of messages being received, in other words, like if a bomb with a message on it turn out to be a dud and landed in the general's kitchen or something.

Probsbly some good material would come to you. You ever write jokes?

Warning, loud.

"Engagement."

Which is true and fair. I can abide.

Is this not clinical sociopathy?

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 month ago

We call it "Republicanism" these days.

[-] DeadPand@midwest.social 36 points 1 month ago

How very turn the other cheek of her

[-] aleph@lemm.ee 37 points 1 month ago

Yet more evidence that the average Republican's adherence to the teachings of Christianity is purely performative.

[-] zabadoh@ani.social 6 points 1 month ago

On the other hand, her faith in Mortal Kombat appears to be genuinely sincere.

[-] caveman@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 month ago

That's not what the Republican Jesus says

[-] JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

How very revealing. 😵‍💫

americans love death

I'm never going to be on the side of Hamas, but there's no need to make a mockery of something that will surely involves civilian casualties. Shame on her.

[-] lud@lemm.ee 5 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

Yeah, lots of people did similar things for Ukrainian bombs and shells. Even though they were much more likely to hit combatants, it still felt really weird to write memes on stuff that likely will kill someone (yes even a Russian war criminal). It just felt inhumane.

Reported as a duplicate, and, yeah, it is, but from a different source. Technically should be removed but the additional engagement makes it keep-worthy.

[-] caveman@lemmy.ml 15 points 4 weeks ago

Different sources gives different details that other source may have hidden in order to fit their agenda

[-] Redex68@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah but that should probably just be a comment then.

[-] caveman@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 weeks ago

I was not aware this was a duplicate

[-] Redex68@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Fair enough

She hates those kids running away in ambulances. It's very important for her to let the kids know how much she would like them to be finished.

Didn’t she already lost at mortal kombat?

[-] cro_magnon_gilf@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 month ago

Wasn't she their rep in the UN Security Council?

[-] anticolonialist@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

With bombs made possible by the US
