This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

All kids are idiots--even the smart ones.

Do you mean all American kids? Because these aren't banned worldwide...

[–] B0NK3RS@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

No no, I'm not American and my kids are definitely idiots...

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 11 months ago

No. I don't.

Per the article, "accidents are rare but tragic." So kids with access to these—i.e. non-American kids—do occasionally choke on them.

But you can give a gun to your toddler? Apparently “accidents are rare but tragic” doesn’t stand for guns?

There is a federal law against that as well and the penalty is much more severe, so I'm not sure what point you mean to make.
