I mean to be fair, there’s nothing you can write on a bomb that makes it better
“Hope this message finds you well”
“Tell your mother I said thank you for the birthday card”
“Save 10% at checkout when you enter the code FREEPALESTINE”
"We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty."
I don't think people write on bombs to make it better, it's to add insult to ~~injury~~ death
This old picture has the writing "Easter eggs for Hitler" on the bombs. I think the use case makes the biggest difference for whether writing a message is perceived as sinister. A bomb which is being sent to someone who has been confirmed to regularily attack civilian targets is not great.
To Russia, With Love.
That's very funny.
I wonder what the earliest example is of someone writing messages on outbound projectile weapons, or if there are any examples of messages being received, in other words, like if a bomb with a message on it turn out to be a dud and landed in the general's kitchen or something.
Probsbly some good material would come to you. You ever write jokes?
Warning, loud.
Again?
Nope, same incident.
Yeah why the repost?
"Engagement."
Which is true and fair. I can abide.
Is this not clinical sociopathy?
We call it "Republicanism" these days.
How very turn the other cheek of her
Yet more evidence that the average Republican's adherence to the teachings of Christianity is purely performative.
On the other hand, her faith in Mortal Kombat appears to be genuinely sincere.
That's not what the Republican Jesus says
How very revealing. 😵💫
I'm never going to be on the side of Hamas, but there's no need to make a mockery of something that will surely involves civilian casualties. Shame on her.
americans love death
Finish her
Reported as a duplicate, and, yeah, it is, but from a different source. Technically should be removed but the additional engagement makes it keep-worthy.
Different sources gives different details that other source may have hidden in order to fit their agenda
Yeah but that should probably just be a comment then.
I was not aware this was a duplicate
Fair enough
She hates those kids running away in ambulances. It's very important for her to let the kids know how much she would like them to be finished.
Didn’t she already lost at mortal kombat?
Wasn't she their rep in the UN Security Council?

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
