Jenga, when the sales fell.
Timber, his arms open.
Janeway, her coffee empty
Janeway and Tuvix, in the transporter
Star Trek?
All of those are in the format of how the Tamarians in Star Trek speak. They speak in metaphor, which completely fucks with the universal translator (since it’s translating what they’re saying rather than what they mean).
Just in case you were looking for context. Also know as, my little morning info dump.
Of course.
Sokath, his eyes uncovered!
Jenga, when the towers fell
They started making wooden airplanes
At least this wasn’t released https://youtu.be/F2uJvwiSZAQ?si=LVfwnpZDCP2oKmQ9

Holy cow, probably real happy it got released later. Though honestly it’s funnier that ice cream guy went deep into the mountains to finally enjoy his cone in peace and still got robbed.
Mr bush there’s a second looser
Idk why but twin tower jokes will never not be funny
You know. I got a massive amount of memes stored about that subject. I can’t remember the exact number but it’s between 1000 and 900.
I can’t remember the exact number but it’s between 1000 and 900.
Is it 911?
Hmm how did you know
Evangelion 9.1+1?
Evangelion you are not a terrorist
Evangelion 5.0 You Are (Not) A Terrorist
Get in the pilot seat shinji
Are you a twelve year old? You clearly weren’t alive when it happened.
I was alive when Allende was overthrown by Pinochet in Chile in 9/11 coup! Wait, we are talking about the US 9/11?
My original comment said “twin towers” but i appreciate your anti US centrism sentiment :)
Well, Tolkien wasn’t American…
I was alive when it happened. The only thing that healed my trauma was the memes
9/11 Never Forget. They didn’t specify HOW we should remember. Trauma and memes go together like jet fuel and the inability to melt steel beams
I was 18. We were making too soon jokes within a week.
Well, were you alive when the US retaliated by killing 100 times as many innocent civilians over the actions of a few?
3000 lives is nothing compared to 300 000, even if they are American.
So how about you let us make our god damn memes?
How about when the number of US soldiers lost eclipsed the 9/11 deaths.
Oh noes some people died! Way more people have died through covid, the ukraine&russia war, the new gaza massacre, of hunger on africa every year… It might have affected you because it happened nearby, but you are not special for having things like that happen to you.
Oh fuck off with this
Ah, Americans, can joke about literally anything else except MURICA.
It really was the 9/11 of the Jenga industry.
a true sports car for the ages.
I wonder if this is actually real. I could see it.
The steep drop between 2000 and 2001 makes me wonder. The attack was nearer to the end of 2001.
I think that is because many people buy Jenga as a christmas present, which are usually bought after september.
That makes sense.
The sales dip is also less than 25 percent. If you assume constant sales through the year, the timing is also reasonable.
I think you have your dates mixed up. These are sales from that calendar year. 2001 sales were down a good bit, so after the attack. 2002 sales was the big dip.
Maybe the winter holiday sale would normaly be substantial and therefore had a over proportional impact. 2002 was the more significant drop though.
I think this has more to do with the dot-com bust then 9/11.
There’s always a relevant xkcd: Correlation: https://xkcd.com/552/
If anything, the rebound started at 9/11
Not much of a rebound if it’s just rebounding to the standard downward trend.
Jet fuel can’t melt wood blocks.
Should’ve started selling commemorative Jenga 2-Packs.
Like how Beany Baby did a Princess Diana bear
Twin towers Sept 2001?
Correct.
Damn. Lemmy Shitpost is dark today.
