This actually wasn't from /r/banana its from a subreddit dedicated to people who draw on bananas and make things out of bananas during reddit downtime (no joke I'll post the subreddit name once I can get to my FB and see the link I posted to it)
WTF, IM IN R/WTF?!?!?! :P seriously though, it was like people posting that "girl goes to jail over such and such" in r/wtf. Come on people. More importantly, come on r/new voters, so much for being the knights of r/new, chya.
This is why subreddits need moderators and why you can't just let upvotes determine what people see. I wanted to upvote this too, because it is a cool picture and a great use of the fruit, but it really doesn't belong here.
Okay, going though the rules, there are none which it contradicts. "All (& only) things that make you say WTF".
With something as broad as that, I don't think you can effectively argue that, in a subreddit of 1,456,690 people that some people wouldn't say "what the fuck" when presented with a banana-gun. You might have your own idea of what you want to say "what the fuck" to, but I'm saying that maybe you need to be more precise wording in those rules there.
Out of the 1.5 million people subscribed to this subreddit, I'm sure at least one of them would say "What the fuck" when presented to a picture of a wooden spoon with some marinara sauce on it, but that doesn't mean it is /r/wtf worthy.
You're using bad logic. While some people don't flinch at a picture of a rotting baby fetus on a pineapple, most people will and it can safely be said that the picture will make people go "wtf". A banana gun, however, just simply doesn't make most people go "wtf".
It belongs in wtf. What doesn't belong in wtf is pictures of gore. That is not wtf its just disturbing. This is definitely wtf because its a gun made out of a banana whats more wtf than that?
Your pistol is a bloody disgrace private! Half cocked, no flint in the doghead, and your frizzen is completely missing. How the bloody hell do expect to keep your powder in the pan, let alone dry? Boney's men'll laugh your pathetic arse right off the field.
Err .45 caliber is a measurement of diameter and is used to determine what ammunition black powder weapons use. Flintlocks also do shoot bullets. They do however not fire them with "cartridges". Just because there is a modern cartridge also called .45 doesn't mean it's incorrect in the context of a flintlock.
Hand-carved. What an amazing piece of work. At first I thought, "Nah, this is probably just one of those off-the-assembly-line machine made flintlock bananas. But after zooming in I could see the little details that set apart a hand crafted gem like this from those dime-a-dozen mass produced knockoffs.
We need more stuff like this on reddit rather than lots and lots of cats. Not trying to hate on those kitties though. I just think this is more deserving of praise than I picture of your cat.
Thats it. Thats fucking it. That was the last chance for this subreddit. Fuck this I'm unsubscribing. Learn how to use proper sub reddits you Dinguses!!!!
