Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

I've always thought that was from the old military expression, 2 in the chest, 1 in the head.

I guess it depends on how you want to treat them, it's nice to have options though

It really wouldn't surprise me if the shocker originated from that phrase as well. 20 years ago it was almost an unofficial salute.

That's called the Mozambique Drill. The more you know!

Yup! They've kinda pulled back on it because of the heartless nature of saying it. "Double tap" also to a lesser extent. I can't remember what the new verbage is because I've been out a long time now and it was just starting to change as I was getting out.

Collateral is one of my favorite movies of all time!

Edit: there's a puscifer song that references the Mozambique drill. "Conditions of my parole" it's a great song on its own, but it's a good story within a song.
