It's like what happens when parents don't teach their kid and expect them to just know everything.

[–] oldscratchXV@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

Gee, thanks. As if I didn't feel bad enough about my life already./s

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 6 points 7 hours ago

The fuck is this supposed to mean?

[–] TheFrirish@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 6 points 7 hours ago

I like this is neither edgy nor funny.

Those parents clearly never "bloomed" either. A baby shouldn't have been able to destroy a table leg unless it was completely rotted out. The bike tire must have been already bent. Falling off of it in the middle a field doesn't twist up the front wheel like that. It looks like the front wheel failed and the kid was ejected forward.

That poor kid grew up in a dangerous household with neglectful parents.

How can a completely rotted out baby break a table leg?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

when the core has nothing inside it, the abs flex inwards instead of doing what they're supposed to. that was a fun thing to learn.

Well most depictions of zombies do show them with superhuman strength.

There's flowers blooming on the grave in the last panel.

[–] Beep@lemmus.org 5 points 9 hours ago

Neither did they...

A "late bloomer" can live a perfectly happy and fulfilling life if you just support and believe in them the same as you would a bright kid.

[–] hzl@piefed.blahaj.zone 55 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Capitalist propaganda posting is worse than horny posting.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 20 points 13 hours ago

what do you mean everybody knows you gotta be a neuroscientist billionaire or else you failed in life.

[–] stray@pawb.social 76 points 17 hours ago

Hope bro had an enjoyable life despite his judgy-ass parents.

[–] Sumocat@lemmy.world 150 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

I blame the parents. That baby broke a table leg with his head, and his dad is like, “maybe he’s just a late bloomer.” No, dude, that’s an undiagnosed concussion inflicted on a soft skulled baby — that’s brain damage.

[–] r3g3n3x@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 hours ago

Plasticity. Otherwise every one in the human race would be soft lobotomized before 3.

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Actually the kid is clearly superhuman and the parents failed to recognize it. No way a human baby could break a solid table leg.

And this is what you get when you buy the cheapest table!

[–] dudinax@programming.dev 22 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

What are you going to do about it? Every baby gets those.

[–] Javi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

That's actually why the dad believes the baby is a late bloomer; It took him this long to get a concussion? He's practically a toddler now!

[–] SilverCode@lemmy.ml 6 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, I mean, I couldn't even crawl before I rolled off the bed and hit the floor with my head while my Mom was trying to change me.

I like turtles 🐢

Judgmental ass comic lol

Plot Twist: The parents were killed in a car accident on the way home from the hospital with their new son. While he survived, miraculously uninjured, and was adopted out, the parents became ghosts, unseen, hovering over him for the rest of his life ... to reunite only at the end.

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Would make sense except they have different clothes and get grey hair

Ghost fashions are mysterious to us living people.

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 59 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Evidence this man is a failure:

Can break tables with his soft infantile head

Cannot ride bike

Can do weed

Has a job

Rip, bozo. What a fucking idiot

Oh god I didn't notice. Actually irredeemable

It's saved by Castle Rat, obviously.

Just wait until the next time the groundskeeper comes by with his lawnmower.

He was an early doomer.

Hey now, Castle Rat fucking rules

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

Late for a society that's properly calibrated to our human nature.

[–] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 2 points 21 hours ago

Maybe you project too much on people that are not you?
