Most popular Jack the Ripper theories from ripperologists just blame immigrants, but personally I think it was British empire soldiers...guys who'd just come back from committing massacres in Africa and Asia and figured, why stop now?

The British army committed tons of mutilations during the massacres they committed in colonial times. Removing breasts and mutilating uteruses has been recorded before. In India, in Kenya etcetera.

It's silly to think Jack the Ripper was just some random blue-collar worker from Poland instead of a soldier who probably just came back from the Xhosa Wars, for example.

And Xhosa Wars happened about a decade before the first Whitechapel murder.

Change.org - Petition To Hire 1,000,000 People To Put Their Fingers In The Shoot Hole Of Peoples’ Guns So They Can’t Shoot Them

[mycatisnamedfrank]

It’s still gonna shoot… And they’re gonna lose a finger

[bidoof]

No. The finger blocks the bullet. We can do this

[domozillla-deactivated20181216]

This is a gun we’re talking about. The projectile is fired using an explosion, not by compressed air of a toy gun or the elastic forces of a sling shot. People would be lucky if they only lost their finger.

[bidoof]

The finger blocks it

[dildomuncher3000]

The finger won’t block it - the shaft is only there for keeping the bullet straight, all the propulsion happens behind the bullet. The bullet would rip through the finger, not that many would actually fit without the victim being a child, and beyond.

[bidoof]

The bullet would go forward a little and then hit the finger and stop it’s not that hard to understand

[fifty-percent-possessed-deactiv]

People are going to lose their hands. Go watch Mythbusters. They did an episode on this, the hand fucking exploded.

[hungwy]

No, the bullet would start to go but stop at the finger. Thats basic physics. Also hands dont explode normally they did something wrong.

[blipblerp]

Why the dingleknockers would you even consider sticking your finger in the barrel of a loaded gun?? the amount of force propelling the bullet at that close of range would shatter the finger at the very least; this is a petition for 1,000,000 people to loose the use of their hands. If a bullet explodes the back of a persons skull when they shoot it in their mouth it sure as hell will explode a finger.

[gorps]

No the finger would stop it

[joryboi]

I’m loving the idiocy of this post.

Ppl with brains: ummm finger go boom…

Others: no bullet stop. U no kno fisics >:V

[foulserpent]

no the finger would stop it

[indianworiorprincess-blog]

You guy who think the bullet would stop at the finger have never shot a gun and can volunteer to it their fingers in the barrel of my 9 mil and I’ll I’ll the trigger and see if it will stop the bullet. Dumdasses

These fuckwits are back again? How’s it going, Nine Finger Nasty? About to turn into an Eight Finger Egghead?

@meatswitch @raptorific this is a US based site. US Americans are known for two things- obsession with guns and incredible stupidity. Had this been anyone else, I’d say they’re trying to fuck with us. But with US Americans, about 70% of them are dead serious about mangling their hands trying to stop a bullet.

[meatswitch-deactivated20231107]

I’ve had four years to think about it and now I think the finger would stop it

[gorps]

I just tested it with my buddy. It stops the bullet

[several-large-churros]

….Mythbusters WELDED A METAL SPIKE into the barrel of a gun to obstruct it, something heaps stronger than a human finger (and sealed the barrel better with the filler metal used to fuse the metal spike into place and prevent the explosive gases from escaping) but even that didn’t stop the bullet from doing damage.

[gorps]

It’s because they didn’t use a finger like I did

been listening to strange overtones by david byrne a lot recently, gotta be one of my top ten tracks of all time

I dont identifying as trans masc anymore (transneutral) but I transitioned and did for a long time and I still kinda feel kinship with trans men over our similar experiences and it really baffles me how hard of a turn the community has made toward misogyny and specially bioessentialist trans misogyny because I feel like back in the day "I'm a man, dont call me afab (unless it's in a very specfic context)" and "As men, especially passing ones, we need to be mindful of how we interact with the world and project positive masculinity because it is very easy to accidentally fall into mysogynistic thinking" were common sentiments and now it's all "This thing isn't about men, but have you considered, trans men :(, why isn't this thing that has nothing to do with men about me" like srsly what happened

I can't say for sure, but as much of the world has backslid on accepting trans people in the last 10 years, I imagine a lot of them see less hope for actually transitioning and being legally protected at all, so they're probably feeling the pull of the relative safety of the gilded cage cis women live in under patriarchy, noticing how being out hasn't, on its own, completely removed that protected status from them. terfs can cozy up to them and coo about maintaining that cage, that place of protection. they can keep a foot (or two) in that cage so long as they remind people they are "afab" or "ftm" and prize that above their manhood

trans women don't exactly have a similar gradient of safety to slide around in. being out as trans women at all has already marked us, there's nothing to cling to, no protected class we can perform proximity to. trying to perform masculinity would generally only make things worse for us. many of us have watched things get worse over the last ten years and our only option is to fight for a better future
