I'll have you know guns are as American as apple pie!

Edit: Accidentally wrote "Apple pie" rather than "apple pie." Don't want to give them any ideas. I don't need food that only works with Apple appliances.

Sounds very American to just take over a whole concept and make their own ๐Ÿคฆ

Yes, America invented co-opting things.

Side note: I found this alongside similar images that seemed less intentionally ironic.

Looks like an image that could go on to the hood of a pickup truck that surely also is an American thing ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฏ

I would be entirely unsurprised if I saw this on an F150 tailgate on the highway.

That's close, but it really belongs painted on the side of a '70s panel van instead of a wizard with a unicorn, with shag carpet, a crushed velvet bed with the frame made of ammo boxes, and bead curtains made of bullets, and living in that van is a slightly more stoned Nicholas Cage from Lord of War who smells like pachouli and expended gun powder.

I don't know what this is, but I like it. You have a gift. I look forward to watching your movies.

these are so fucking stupid and I love them

Me too. At a certain point, they become so absurd that they're funny rather than irritating.

According to my phone typing thingy half of all words belong to a corporation.

You think you're pretty clever, don't you? I happen to know that every word in your comment was posted years ago! Perhaps you've read...the dictionary!

And the apples are pine-apple fragmentation grenades. Just like grandma used to make

Yeah, grandma was something else:

Guns are definitely way more american than apple pie!

[โ€“] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Instructions unclear. ICE shot the pie for resisting arrest.

[โ€“] Speiser0@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

See, everything in USA has guns, even ICEs. German ICEs don't wear guns.

Perhaps that's how the Germans displaced the citizens of the Holy Roman Empire.

Maybe if they'd put guns on their guns, they'd have normal people like Americans living there rather than foreigners like Germans.

(Yes, I'm being incredibly facetious. No, I shouldn't have to explain it, but also, yes, someone has probably already posted this sincerely on Truth Social.)
