This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon probably deserved it

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

pfft this ridiculous shit - most gun owners are completely cautious and safe people - is disproven easily by reality.

https://www.jalopnik.com/a-gun-is-stolen-from-a-car-every-9-minutes-in-america-1851472717/

that's a single example of the idiocy. it gets dumber the further you research. Most, bwahahahah

Aim center mass babe

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

He's lucky his wife didn't have a gun.

If the wife knows where he keeps the guns she could and probably would just as easily shoot him.

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Hmm...

This is some combination of right-wing gun-toting and sexism. A very.... wonderful combination.

In any given year, more than half of all gun deaths are suicides, so really it should read...

Go back inside

Shoot self

But how would they type it?

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

They are a bad shot

[–] And009@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 2 days ago

So much potential greentext, wasted.

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Both the "locks away guns, guns are always empty except on the shooting range or hunting, safety conscious" person and the "gets drunk every evening and sleeps with a loaded gun under their pillow" person are actually totally safe as long as they uphold the number one rule of gun safety: "The barrel of a gun may never be pointed at a person". Super hard to shoot someone unless you are Angelina Jolie or James McAvoy or one of those bullet ricochet superheroes. Of course it's a useless rule since it is simply stating the obvious. But that doesn't seem to stop people from repeating it.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

You repeated it?

[–] nthavoc@lemmy.today 16 points 2 days ago

Or stabbed by kids because wifi is down ....

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 23 points 2 days ago (3 children)

People getting stabbed with wives instead of knives now 😔

Hey, don't knock it till you try it. It's the newest fad, baby!

Sharp women

these goddamn feminists ruin everything

[–] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 117 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Exceptions are rare enough that there’s only like one mass shooting a week!

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 74 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (25 children)

In 2022 or 2023 there was one mass shooting for every day of the year. Anon was simply in the wrong place.

https://www.massshootingtracker.site/

Looks like they're on track for another great year of mass shootings!

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 25 points 3 days ago

90 mass shootings in 101 days! At least 11 days without one, way to go USA.

this is why we need to regulate wives

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I'd say we should just outright make homicide illegal so we don't have to be sexist about it.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

yeah, fuck men though, they can stab as many men as they want, as long as they're in a gay relationship.

[–] unknown1234_5@kbin.earth 2 points 1 day ago

well yeah obviously gays should be allowed to stab people

Fake. Anon doesn’t have a wife. That would involve talking to a woman.

[–] Sir_Premiumhengst@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

And gay, for he got impaled from behind.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Be British

Go to the United States

Don't Get Blown up in a Cybertruck

Don't Get Shot up in a mass shooting

Don't Get Robbed shirtless by a home invasion

Don't Get Scammed broke by a crypto-coin shill

Do find the one person in the entire country who insists on doing knife crime

Marry her

Get stabbed to death

Post about it on 4chan

most gun owners are safe and cautious

I know some of the most brain dead takes that my friends with guns do. Some gun owners are absolutely crazy when it comes to gun safety and storage.

[–] wookiepedia@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Another take, I am super on it with gun safety, but not storage. There are never minors allowed in my home, and a gun isn't useful unless you can get to it easily and it's ready to go. Only guns resting inside the safe are unloaded, all the guns that work for a living have loaded magazines and a round in the chamber (I don't own any 1911 pattern guns, if I did, they would not be chambered.) Also, no exposed trigger, everything is in a holster.

Could just be a story about a man getting pegged by his wife

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 days ago

See that is the problem.

All gun owners should be completely cautious and safe. That is why you background check them thoroughly.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 30 points 3 days ago (8 children)

Well he did deserve it by wearing that hat.
