Surely this canā€™t be accurateā€¦right?

Masimatutu OP , (edited )

Hereā€™s the article: metro.co.uk/ā€¦/a-toddler-has-now-shot-someone-everā€¦

Edit: yes, the headline is misleading. The article only claimed there had been at least as many toddler shootings as weeks for two consecutive years.

LetterboxPancake ,

No I donā€™t think they are. They lack the strength to aim properly and they canā€™t take the recoil. But at close range? Itā€™s enough for sure.

Changetheview ,

Shockingly, it is accurate as long as you consider age 3 and under a toddler. I also donā€™t think theyā€™re literally tracking it by day but rather just more than 52/year. No matter the pedantic concerns, the deaths from guns in the US is sickening.

The evidence for this article was even investigated by Snopes and found to be true. They framed it as ā€œmore toddlers kill in the US than foreign terrorists.ā€ This was all from 2015/2016. And itā€™s only gotten worse since then. snopes.com/ā€¦/toddlers-killed-americans-terroristsā€¦

Gun deaths in the US are astronomical. In 2021, 184 deaths by guns from children 5 and under. More than 3 per week. From kids under 5 alone. This is a good read about gun violence in US children overall: pewresearch.org/ā€¦/gun-deaths-among-us-kids-rose-5ā€¦

Damn near 50,000 US gun deaths overall in 2021. That is more than 130 people PER DAY. Just utterly depressing. And leaders still fail to bring about any significant change. pewresearch.org/ā€¦/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deā€¦

Clearly the answer is to arm lots of untrained civilians.

How am I supposed to be expected to defend myself from these killer toddlers if Iā€™m unable to carry my AR into the Piggly Wiggly?

PowerCrazy ,

Well when the leaders see things like this and their go to is to yell about ā€œassault riflesā€ and then provide unlimited funding for military contractors who are the people who build ā€œassault riflesā€ itā€™s not really a surprise that the problem continues. If a congress person mentions ā€œassault weaponsā€ they should never be voted for again, because they clearly do not understand the problem.

Accurate enough that someone dies or maybe we donā€™t hear about the times they discharge the weapon into the ceiling?

I HATE people named MATTHEW >:C

lugal ,

In that case I have good news for you: the Gospel of Matthew is not really written by an author called Matthew. Itā€™s by an anonymous author and much later attributed to a guy called Matthew.

Sure, there is a chance that the anonymous author was also called Matthew but I think itā€™s small enough for you and all the other Matthew-phobes who downvoted my comment to undo your misdeeds and seek redemption.

lugal ,

But donā€™t kill him, even if he is called M*tthew! For all we know he could be your grandfather.

Masimatutu OP ,

Your comment has more downvotes than the post, which I think is actually primarily downvoted because people donā€™t think it qualifies as me_irl. So I suspect itā€™s just the strong (often thoughtless) antireligious sentiment around here. I guess that itā€™s pretty inherent to social media that people refuse to think.

Ulvain , to me_irl in mešŸ§’irl

Someone REALLY need to stop that toddler.

bstix ,

We need the good toddlers with guns.

I prefer a bit more expansion on the bottom end myself, but some folks like the swimmer's physique.

Borkingheck , to me_irl in mešŸ§’irl

I have a toddler, I totally can see them discharing a firearm. Itā€™s not shocking on deadeye Janet, itā€™s shocking on the now dead parent who didnā€™t safely store their firearms.

chatokun ,

Unfortunately they often kill siblings (not that the death of parents wasnā€™t unfortunate, but at least they have some culpability).

Borkingheck ,

Yeah that surprises me less given a parent seeing a child waive a firearm would be very nervous, same as Iā€™d be if my kid was wielding a paring knife or the big knife with her sibling or cousin.

There should be a law to prevent the sale to toddlers if they donā€™t pass a mental health test.

Masimatutu OP , (edited )

Take my updoot and get the hell out of here

Edit: side note: the two actually have the same etymological root, the Latin infans meaning ā€œinfantā€. It were the Spanish that somehow turned infante (originally just ā€œyouthā€) into ā€œfoot soldierā€

Also, fun fact, infans comes from in- (negative prefix) + fari (to speak); ā€œone that does not speakā€.

@altima_neo@lemmy.zip avatar

I managed to get a similar shot with my phone. Yours has a ton more detail though. Seeing Jupiter right next to the moon was nuts. Itā€™s not visible in this photo though.

https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/c7907dce-94c6-4ede-9142-7eace899ebd0.webp

Iā€™m using an S22 Ultra. Iā€™m seeing people suggest that some phones use post processing to fake the image. So thatā€™s unfortunate.

Gormadt OP ,
@Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Thatā€™s pretty good for a phone picture, mine phone doesnā€™t take anything close to that for the moon

Unfortunately I didnā€™t see Jupiter tonight but that was probably due to my poor timing (as per usual) lol

joat_mon ,

What phone was this taken with?

accideath ,

What phone was this taken with? Because some phones have a ā€œmoon modeā€ where they replace the actual moon with an image thatā€™s far better than what the actual camera sensor of the phone would be able to capture.

randint ,
@randint@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz avatar

How do people take such clear photos of the moon on their phone? My phone only sees a āšŖ.

joat_mon ,

They are usually shooting through a telescope, or are using a phone that ā€œenhancesā€ moon shots through AI (i.e. replaces the original image with an AI generated image)

Samsung caught faking zoom photos of the Moon

randint ,
@randint@lemmy.frozeninferno.xyz avatar

Wow, Samsung did that? Thatā€™s kinda funny.

LostXOR ,

A big part is exposure, you need to really crank down the exposure so the Moon isn't just an overexposed white circle. Having a phone with optical zoom is also important to get a decent resolution image.
