    dump a cup of baking soda and a cup of white wine vinegar, wash again, they’ll be fine.

      For those of us who were in middle school on 9/11, this is hilarious.

      Eh, I was, and I am undisturbed. I honestly find it incredibly hard to believe that any 40+ year old netizen could find any meme format actually disturbing.

        If you lost your parents on that day too, I think you’d find it disturbing as well.

          That is true, I likely would. But I would know that internet meme formats are cross-platform and freedom of expression dominates the internet as a whole over other priorities. So, I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it, and it wouldn’t be a great idea to try.

                The level of self righteousness here is through the roof.

                Life experience: in one day I received more than you ever possibly will. And I pray you never go through what I went through.

                Consider me othered.

              Seems like you’re being sarcastic. Would you like to elaborate how 45,000+ civilian deaths in Afghanistan wasn’t an act of terror?

                  Ok yup you’re actually just an asshole. Good to know the people who are offended by 9/11 jokes are people who I would prefer to offend.

                  Please name the Afghani people who attacked the U.S. on 9/11. Unless you think those consequences should be killing people who had absolutely nothing to do with it. 15 of the 19 9/11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. Shouldn’t the consequences have involved Saudi Arabia? As someone who was orphaned by Saudis on 9/11, shouldn’t you be upset that we went to war with Afghanistan and not Saudi Arabia?

      I was an adult on 9/11. I am an American. I watched the second plane hit live on TV.

      Bush being told that it happened and sitting there like the moron he is for a long time before excusing himself is not part of the tragedy. It is absolutely something to be mocked. And this is funny.

        I was orphaned on that day. It’s not funny for me. But I think it’s okay it’s funny to you. But I think if our positions were reversed you wouldn’t find it quite so funny.

          Did you read what I wrote? Because I don’t think you did. The only reason I can think of that you would find mocking George W. Bush on 9/11 offensive is if you voted for him. And if you did, I think we can disregard what you have to say.

            I hated him with a passion every single day throughout his entire tenure. Hanging Chad’s?? I opposed the opportunistic invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq so hard I was literally photographed by newspapers.

            Smug, self-righteous, and wrong in every way — you have a litmus test for humanity that smells like the mutual admiration society.

            I have literally been pepper sprayed my cops at protests against fascism since then.

            How dare you.

            Honestly, stranger in the internet, you have zero fucking idea.

                It’s a meme because it’s an iconic moment.

                It’s not a person. That’s the whole point of memes.

                Sorry to school you in this, but one again, you are wrong.

                  I’m pretty sure George W. Bush is, in fact, a person. And yes, it was an iconic moment. An iconic moment of George W. Bush acting like an idiot and an asshole. Why you think he deserves to be protected from being mocked I don’t know.

          If you have sensitives, you should work through them on your own or in counseling. Maybe you’re not ready to view memes/jokes like this one, it’s okay to keep scrolling without sharing your personal trauma. I appreciate your perspective but it is very unique.

              If the majority of people would react a certain way, that’s the social norm. Your personal reaction to seeing Bush’s face on 9/11, after 22 years, is just not the norm, nor anyone else’s responsibility. This is not a graphic image, and it was not addressed to you specifically.

                So… the majority of people in the South of the USA are racists, fascists, Magaheads. Should we consider that the Norm?

                No?

                So we cannot use the tiny sample of Lemmings as a norm. Just saying.

                  Norms aren’t right/wrong. You are on lemmy viewing this image, that’s your population. And that’s what you should be considering when offering your perspective.

                  You’re being so heavily downvoted because people here don’t agree with you. Not that anyone is right/wrong.
