As hilarious as the long standing meme of 'Florida Man' stories always are, we are facing the largest hurricane in generations, posed to do untold damage and end many lives.

The fucking hubris of gun-wielding 'Muricans knows no bounds. Don't seek shelter. Don't aim some of that arrogance in a positive manner and maybe help of move people in danger.

Fire fucking guns.

My God.

Shooting at a hurricane is by far the most US American thing I've read in quite a while...

He could be riding on an alligator while shooting at a hurricane.

 

[Hex]

There are so many fucking stupid assed events made, that my feed is full of them from fuckwits clicking like on my feed that it is hard to keep track of important information with a storm barreling down.
Will seriously be purging my friends list after this shit is over.

 

[Lexxism]

USA USA USA

 

[TheSecondSpitter]

My first guess was George Zimmerman.

 

[RoadHazard]

Surely this is illegal and everyone doing it will be thrown in jail? Otherwise smh America. I mean, smh either way, but yeah.

 

[Stead Fast]

Surely this is illegal and everyone doing it will be thrown in jail? Otherwise smh America. I mean, smh either way, but yeah.

Nah, they'll be fine. The police are too busy checking every person seeking shelter for any illegal immigrants people with outstanding warrants to arrest.

 

[Steel]

It's illegal, but no cop is actually gonna spend time enforcing shit like this. People fire their guns in the woods near my house regularly, it's illegal, but police aren't gonna do shit.

 

[Kinyou]

Reminds me of this.

 

[Vuze]

Already has been responded to

"Liberal fake news media want to prohibit shooting at the fake news hurricane!"
I hope natural selection will kick in for once...

 

[Hex]

The event is full of joke posts....nerf guns, laser guns....I think the po po will not be needed....

 

[CarlisleDavid1979]

Yeah.. what's the worst that could happen? 🤔

 

[Window]

People are under a lot of stress.

 

[MrKaepora]

Guess the guys at the "1000 ways to die" wont be lacking episodes.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

If there is one thing I've learned from watching The Flash™, it's that to counteract any tornadoes/hurricanes is to run as fast as possible in the opposite direction. So...... Get on that Florida Man, The Fastest Man Alive!

Spoiler

does not recommend doing this irl

 

[Snowybreak]

Hehe. First thing I thought of.

 

[eso76]

Don't ! You might kill Kevin Costner !

Heh.


They should really wait until it gets closer. Actually until they are swallowed by it, so they can shoot it from the inside.

 

[LoveCake]

This isn't the guy is it?

Meanwhile somewhere in the everglades,

Mix that with this

and you have a winning combination.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Crap like this is why everyone outside the US, think that American are idiots.

 

[Daedardus]

Stray bullets in strong winds, what could possibly go wrong.

I mean, it isn't anything worse than a 50 lbs piece of wood crushing your skull.

 

[///PATRIOT]

Meanwhile somewhere in the everglades,

Thanks for the laughts.

 

[adj_noun]

Getting closer.

No, but seriously..... This shit is like a Always Sunny episode. Life is not like a comedy or movie, random Floridian. Seek shelter and be safe to the folks who have to suffer through this shitty situation

 

[Harothewanderer]

bloody hell

 

[tuxfool]

As cowardly as that looks, dropping the pole is probably the wisest thing he could do.

 

[belushy]

Amazing

 

[StayDead]

As cowardly as that looks, dropping the pole is probably the wisest thing he could do.

I'm surprised he's not in jail for getting dirt on the American flag.

 

[chaosaeon]

And scientists are trying to warn and save these people. Imagine seeing the news story that 46,000 americans fired bullets at a hurricane.
It's like a natural selection blowout sale.

 

[Geno Breaker]

Even the hurricanes get shot in America.

 

[Mindlog]

9mm fine or does it have to be .45?

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Do Americans feel embarrassed for other Americans ?

 

[pelicansurf]

Do Americans feel embarrassed for other Americans ?

All the time.

 

[kinggroin]

Do Americans feel embarrassed for other Americans ?

Yes of course.

 

[tonysidaway]

Do Americans feel embarrassed for other Americans ?

At this point I think, this is the kind of thing that makes even non-Americans for other humans.

 

[Raylan Targaryen]

i thought this was just a fucking meme on instagram, not actually real

smh

 

[Earthbound64]

But Ryon Edwards, 22, came up with a novel way of amusing himself during the storm: firing bullets into it.

reminded me of this:

Seriously - "Ryon"?

 

[EnlightenedMint]

This is what happens when you overwatch instead of hunker down.

 

[Kickz]

46,000 future Florida man stories..

Is it the gators in the water that causes IQ to automatically go down 50 points in that state??

 

[-shadow-]

Darwin would be proud!

 

[bootsthecat]

More like endless amusement that you can't stop talking about us. I mean, do we even bother mentioning (or caring to know) whatever is going on, wherever you're from? Probably not.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Nuke it

That could actually work over the Atlantic, far away from anybody. All those post-explosion gases and shock waves could break apart the circulation.

I want to be a part of that study.

NOAA specifically addressed why we can't nuke a hurricane on their web site.


Subject: C5c) Why don't we try to destroy tropical cyclones by nuking them ?

[Lain]

This is our home, nobody drives us out of our own territory.

Oh man the irony. It's killing me.

 

[L Thammy]

Florida men. Multiple people saw this and thought "this is a good idea that I want to participate in".

 

[ChryZ]

Why not just nuke Irma while you at it.

 

[BasilZero]

lmao

 

[Hoo-doo]

Haha here we have the saltiest post yet.

[Akai__]

Why not just nuke Irma while you at it.

Why do I see Trump proposing to drop MOAB's into Hurricanes in the near future?

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

Only in America. "Shoot the hurricane!"

 

[bootsthecat]

Haha here we have the saltiest post yet.

USA #1 #1 #1

Salty? I've come to love these threads. I'll admit I was annoyed at some point due to the anti-US post volume here, but came to realize it wasn't me who was (or should be) salty...

Keep em' coming, bros!
