Idk why but twin tower jokes will never not be funny
Are you a twelve year old? You clearly weren’t alive when it happened.
I was alive when Allende was overthrown by Pinochet in Chile in 9/11 coup! Wait, we are talking about the US 9/11?
My original comment said “twin towers” but i appreciate your anti US centrism sentiment :)
Well, Tolkien wasn’t American…
I was alive when it happened. The only thing that healed my trauma was the memes
9/11 Never Forget. They didn’t specify HOW we should remember. Trauma and memes go together like jet fuel and the inability to melt steel beams
Well, were you alive when the US retaliated by killing 100 times as many innocent civilians over the actions of a few?
3000 lives is nothing compared to 300 000, even if they are American.
So how about you let us make our god damn memes?
How about when the number of US soldiers lost eclipsed the 9/11 deaths.
I was 18. We were making too soon jokes within a week.
Oh noes some people died! Way more people have died through covid, the ukraine&russia war, the new gaza massacre, of hunger on africa every year… It might have affected you because it happened nearby, but you are not special for having things like that happen to you.
Oh fuck off with this
Ah, Americans, can joke about literally anything else except MURICA.
It really was the 9/11 of the Jenga industry.
a true sports car for the ages.
I think this has more to do with the dot-com bust then 9/11.
There’s always a relevant xkcd: Correlation: https://xkcd.com/552/
If anything, the rebound started at 9/11
Jet fuel can’t melt wood blocks.
Not much of a rebound if it’s just rebounding to the standard downward trend.
Should’ve started selling commemorative Jenga 2-Packs.
Like how Beany Baby did a Princess Diana bear
I wonder if this is actually real. I could see it.
The steep drop between 2000 and 2001 makes me wonder. The attack was nearer to the end of 2001.
I think that is because many people buy Jenga as a christmas present, which are usually bought after september.
The sales dip is also less than 25 percent. If you assume constant sales through the year, the timing is also reasonable.
That makes sense.
Maybe the winter holiday sale would normaly be substantial and therefore had a over proportional impact. 2002 was the more significant drop though.
Damn. Lemmy Shitpost is dark today.
Twin towers Sept 2001?
Correct.
