You misunderstand. The bullet would get to the finger and stop.

Maybe it’s less about the need to be the smartest person in the room and more about peddling dangerous disinformation?
This is literally how the Republican party functions, by purposefully being so brain-dead that we spend all our time explaining why they’re wrong and they just happily keep doing stupid fucking shit and expect us to protect them from themselves all the while.

Sure, but at some point you need to acknowledge that though you can lead a horse to water, you can’t stick their hoof in the barrel of a gun to stop a bullet.
WorkIsSlow@lemmy.world 1 month ago
If the barrel is big enough for the hoof to fit snuggly it’ll stop the bullet.

That’s only true for an elephant gun or a howizer, everyone knows that the elephant gun bullets only stop if the elephant puts their trunk in the barrel and the horse would need to be on a ladder for the howitzer. Horses can’t climb ladders, silly.

Nah, the elephant gun bullet would stop because a horse isn’t an elephant.

It’s called an elephant gun because it’s for shooting elephants. Not because it’s the size of an elephant. There is no way a horses hoof or an elephants trunk will fit in the barrel of a gun thats less than .50 cal.
But you know what will? A finger. You’re just going to want to shove it in their really good because those cartridges pack a punch.

But the bullet would stop though because of the finger.

Looney toons = Nazi misinformation

I think it’s probably fair to say that suggesting that a finger in the barrel of a gun would stop a bullet is a least 10x, if not 100x, worse than the Nazis.

barrel
- shoot hole

No, the shoot hole is the face of the cylinder while the barrel is where they’re hiding the gun
