If countries want to go to war with another .... I've often fantasized that instead of sending whole armies, each country just send their leaders in a loin cloth, cover them in oil and no weapons. The leaders would then be thrown in an enclosed cage to do battle to the death with their bare hands. If they don't do battle, the audience get to kill them with spears ... then the contest is continued by the next selected leader from each country. The contest is continued until one leader kills the other.

I think the first move would be ripping out the opponent's catheter and seeing who bleeds out first.

If you have 10 times as many people and your cause is just, would you really stand down when your leader is killed?

Isn't this kind of a similar idea to David and Goliath, except not with leaders, just a 1v1 between two citizens of that country?

I mean you'd within a generation self-select for every country to run an Andrew Tate type as leader.

Oddly the article fails to mention how Spur of the moment the choice was for Bar Ron Dump.

Can someone explain what happened here exactly, cant really make sense of it. This symbol was used by french revolutionaries right? Thats the only thing i get but why is the guy getting downvoted?

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

because it's middle school humor, and frankly it's rather misogynistic and rapey to be inserting digits into someone to "shock" them without their consent.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

I mean now that you mention it, yeah i remember this move, tho more as a joke from the "haha sex funny" perspective. It kinda says something about how childish the commenter is when i automatically associated it with french revolutionaries lol

It's the Shocker. Two in the pink, one in the stink.
