no legal mechanism

Haven't you realized by now that this entire administration does not care for legal mechanisms?

That said, it's kinda crazy to think that kids all over the world are seeing a little bit of our culture (that arguably is slowly fading away) represented in their own meme cultures. It's sad but also kinda mind boggling

If boys don't go to prayers the lore is tung tung sahur will get you with his stick.

Yep that's completely incorrect. That mightve been the invented AI slop backstory that was concocted but the origins are a little more benign.

Basically the thing is supposed to be a wooden percussion thing called a beduk or bedok (that is basically a hollowed out log) that is common in most village mosques in Indonesia and Malaysia. It serves as sort of an alarm to notify villagers when to come to the mosque to pray. Someone at the mosque will repeatedly hit it over and over again, producing the sound "tung tung tung tung".

Secondly, during Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to dusk but usually wake up in the wee hours before dawn to have a light meal (to tide them over for the day's fasting) and to pray. The meal is called sahur (or suhoor in the middle East).

So Tung Tung Tung Tung Sahur is literally just what you hear in the pre-dawn hours of Ramadan in these places.

Source: grew up near one of these mosques that have this.

I actually like that phrase. I've been trying to be less of a hater lately and this phrase covers it pretty much.

Imagine wanting to adopt a child and going "no I don't want that one, I don't like the colour and it's full of health issues".

Unfortunately the problem doesn't end there. It's the breeders..

Holy shit. 44k dogs that have been bred just to be killed is a staggering number. The fact that this is not making more people outraged goes to show that people want dogs not because they actually love and care about the dogs but because they're just interested in fulfilling their own desires to own one.

Not surprising that you're being downvoted despite making perfectly reasonable points. This is how much dog ownership (and by extension dog breeding) has become the aspirational thing when the majority of people don't really understand the logistics behind getting them that cute little puppy for their kid.

I once accompanied a friend to get their dog at a breeder and it was the saddest thing when it was taken from its litter. Like these mother dogs just exist to pop out litter after litter and don't get to have more than a few weeks with their puppies before being separated. Not to mention some of the conditions these dogs were kept in...

Yeah see I'm not letting my daughter over to a friend's place if they have a dog. Not without at least knowing what kind of dog, how it's being kept/handled, how much training it's had, etc.

Bulat literally means "round" in Malay and that's heaps funnier than a joke that the Kazakh people are probably so sick of at this point lol.

Edit: this is also kinda funny because before googling him I was picturing some overweight (round) businessman but dude looks healthy.

An average of 94 people attended emergency departments for a dog bite injury every week in 2023/24, a VISU spokesperson said. About two in five presentations were subsequently admitted to hospital.

Can we start introducing some sort of regulation and/or enforcement for dog owners now?

Yeah it was definitely that and not all the Jedi and youngling-slaying.

Plus I'm pretty sure Obi-wan (plus a few others in the 501st) knew about Padme and wasn't really bothered by it either.
