A lot of people in that thread have never seen Looney Tunes. If they did, they would have learned 3 vital facts about physics:

  1. A finger in the barrel of a gun will stop a bullet and cause the gun to explode.

  2. Gravity cannot effect you until you acknowledge that you are not on solid ground.

  3. Being crushed by a heavy object falling from a great height (think and anvil or piano) will cause to to collapse like an accordion until you are re-inflated.

These are basic scientific facts everyone should know in the modern age.

Everyone knows William Hanna and Joseph Barbera were physicists first and animators/cartoonists second.

Incredibly, they actually drew their cartoons based on observations in nature. The duck season/rabbit season bit commonly seen in the Bugs and Daffy cartoons, while exaggerated was based on true events.

Why are both of these so veiny? Also, why does the word veiny and both of these pictures make me think of dicks? Am I the inevitable perverted product of an overly sexualized society or are these drawings intentionally evoking phallic symbolism? WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

What's hilarious about this is that obstructed barrels actually can explode into ribbons just like the cartoons. A finger might not do it though, and not sure how many volunteers you'd get for a scientific test.

[–] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 49 points 5 months ago (5 children)

One person even noted how kids fingers are smaller and most adult’s fingers wouldn’t fit in the barrel.. lol. That’s what the pinky is for, it’s smol for a reason, duh.

Obligatory reminder that change.org has literally never accomplished social good, but it has made plenty of profit by selling harvested contact information and social connection information to advertisers.

This is so flawed it isn't even funny.

You need way more than 1,000,000 fingers. This is America after all. Even if you use all ten fingers, that's only like 9.9 million guns.

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Love that you accounted for the fact that if you rounded up a million randos, statistically, some of them will be missing a finger or two.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

Thank you. Nuance, you know.

What about double barreled shotguns? Those are each going to require two fingers. I'm beginning to think the creators of this change.org petition haven't really thought this through.

Maybe ssj14Goku can stop that bullet, but no normal person can lol

I'm torn on this one.

Part of me is convinced that just putting a flower in the barrel would stop all war. Then I'll make sure to put it in my hair before going to San Francisco, even though I totally forgot the first time.

Another part of me believes that I'm gonna have to solve the problem by getting so high on red agave shrooms that I can't feel the bullet and thus become an invincible berserker. Might sack York too, if there's time.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 14 points 5 months ago

I guess the guy didn't realize he's talking to literally Goku.

There's a certain spirit of online debate about trivial or nonsensical things like this that can best be understood as happening purely for the sport of it.

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think the important thing is to convince the person with the gun that the barrel will explode and kill them, not whether it does explode or not. That was what James Gardner did in the movie Support you local Sheriff.

IIRC for a some handguns this could actually work as long as you are actively pushing. Because if the barrel moves back a bit it will be out of battery blocking it from even firing.

You cannot block bullets unless you touch them first. See master Ken demonstrate: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Nd_2DGPaQ4U

Tap, tap, grab, throw it back.

I want to see someone stick their finger up the barrel of a desert eagle

[–] SuperNinjaFury@lemm.ee 13 points 5 months ago

The finger would stop it

[–] turddle@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

ya cuz easier since the hole is bigger so you can use a bigger finger to stop bullet better

r/whoosh?

No one actually believes this.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 20 points 5 months ago

Finger will stop the bullet.

[–] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 5 months ago

Of course no one believes the bullet won't stop

Maybe it's less about the need to be the smartest person in the room and more about peddling dangerous disinformation?

This is literally how the Republican party in the USA functions, by purposefully being so brain-dead that we spend all our time explaining why they're wrong and they just happily keep doing stupid fucking shit and expect us to protect them from themselves all the while. The Republicans regularly villainize "smart" people, the educated, academia, and "the ivory tower." They hate facts and evidence. So now being smart enough to try to stop stupid people from being stupid is a bad thing, huh?

It's not funny or clever, it's literally the same attitude behind conservatives trying to upset liberals. They would happily eat a pile of shit if they knew a liberal had to smell their breath. It's fucking insipid and stupid and in no way is funny or cute or what the fuck ever. There's zero ideology behind it except trying to upset other people, because they've got nothing the fuck else in their lives.

I don't care if it's a joke, they're scum. It's a "joke" in the same way "it was just a joke bro" comes from Nazis.

We literally had people eating parasite-killing horse-paste during COVID instead of taking actual fucking vaccines directed at the disease, and that happened because of bullshit exactly the fuck like this.

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 81 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

no, the finger would stop it

[–] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 23 points 5 months ago

Because it’s smooth in every direction.

This is known.

The dude was basically engaging with an Onion article. You can't save everybody.

[–] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 31 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but at some point you need to acknowledge that though you can lead a horse to water, you can’t stick their hoof in the barrel of a gun to stop a bullet.

[–] WorkIsSlow@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If the barrel is big enough for the hoof to fit snuggly it'll stop the bullet.

[–] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (3 children)

Unlike a person, a horse’s hoof will totally only fit in an elephant gun or a howizer, everyone knows that the elephant gun bullets only stop if the elephant puts their trunk in the barrel and the horse would need to be on a ladder for the howitzer. Horses can’t climb ladders, silly.

Nah, the elephant gun bullet would stop because a horse isn't an elephant.

But the bullet would stop though because of the finger.

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 18 points 5 months ago

Sorry champ, you absolutely had it coming with these replies to your comment

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 17 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think it's probably fair to say that suggesting that a finger in the barrel of a gun would stop a bullet is a least 10x, if not 100x, worse than the Nazis.
