It's the final countdown!
For my fellow Europeans: 1600 miles is roughly 2575km.
For comparison, the distance between London and Istanbul is 2498km or the equivalent of about 1,250,000 large bananas.
Edit: corrected decimal error ~~to protect secrecy of banana warfare project~~ for accuracy
Istanbul
Not Constantinople?
Canadian band btw. Uhh, the OG, The Four Lads not They Might Be Giants.
Oh, I never knew that, good to know!
I'm just positively bursting with completely useless knowledge!
That's my favorite kind of knowledge!
High fives?
My man!!!
No, not Constantinople, if you have a date in Constantinople you'll have to meet up in Istanbul, there's no more Constantinople.
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the turk's
Pretty sure both of them are the same distance away from London regardless.
Where do you get your 20 meter bananas? Askinh for a friend who wants to make his dick look tiny
I may or may not have misplaced the decimal place.. Deploys artificial cloud cover over secret laboratory
Where do you get your 2 meter bananas? Asking for a me who wants to eat banana
Over there points
its funny how some people have such dedication when it comes to committing mass murder.
It's not like that far fetched when you consider that ''bombingham'' Alabama was being hit by KKK terrorist attacks only one grandma ago.
Timothy McVey or however he spelled it, was also trying to spark a race war, had copies of pages from The Turner Diaries in the van, so if he died in the process people would get why. Thats only two thirds of a dad away.
Timothy McVey or however he spelled it, was also trying to spark a race war
No he wasn't. He suffered from PTSD from the Gulf war. He was convinced that Ruby ridge and Waco were examples of the government turning against the people and became radicalized. His.motive was to send a message to the people that they were living in what he perceived as a tyrannical fascist state causing them to rise up. Race wasn't a factor.
125,000 large bananas
I see you have some American in you, if you are using nonmetric units of measurement.
My car gets 2000 5ths of jack to the Banana AND THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE IT!!!!
AND THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE IT
BABY I DON'T WANNA LIVE FOREVER! AND DON'T FORGET THE JOKER!!
Australian here, how far is this in kangaroo hops?
I dunno, somewhere between 12 and a billion? 🤷
Kangaroo hops? Is that what you use to make beer down under?
Also for your fellow europeans? Geoblocking! Propably just exactly what it says though.
Every time I see a geo block I get more radicalized against copyright laws, corporate profiteering and corrupt politicians.
And I was already at an 8 on a scale from Hakeem Jeffries to Burn It Down when they became common a few years to a decade ago..
Very fine people on both sides
Your sarcasm is going to be lost in most.
I think 98% of folks on Lemmy are smart enough to understand the reference.
you must be new here.
Guess IQ45 lost another Arizona vote.
Such a lovely man. /s
Edit: read og source, he's from Prescott in Yavapai county, lovely county but lots of that attitude there.
And the person who posted it is no better, apparently a state the size of AZ is one place, so no mention of WHERE in AZ this person is from.
For reference, one county in AZ, Cochise, is larger than the states of Rhode Island and Conn combined, but we're all the same and why let details get in the way.
Easier on s.media to elide over useful details for emotional impact.
Why does location matter? That county I mentioned, Cochise, is red ag country, while Coconino, where the Grand Canyon is, and the Navajo rez, is blue.
They're 6 hours drive apart at the borders and thousands of feet different in elevation, e.g. Coconino has skiing. Could it be that different people populate those places?
So some readers might like to know, for their safety, where that maniac is from, beyond vague handwaving.
If I ran an instance, I'd delete every one if these airheaded detail-free posts that are simply for angering rather than informing.
I think Lemmy can do better than Reddit, which also seems populated by posters who haven't been anywhere beyond mom's basement.
It would be great to see the 5 W's provided in every post here.
Forest for the trees, here. Oops, I'm sorry, the guy isn't 1600 miles away, maybe it's 1800 miles, maybe it's only 1500, but what it is is a whole fucking long way to go to kill people because you don't like what they look like.
This isn't about Arizonans, or whatever you call people who live in Arizona, it's about a guy who lives a long way from Atlanta who wants to kill black people enough to want to go that far to do it. It certainly isn't unique to that county, or that city in that county, and it is pretty fucked up.
