I blame the parents. That baby broke a table leg with his head, and his dad is like, “maybe he’s just a late bloomer.” No, dude, that’s an undiagnosed concussion inflicted on a soft skulled baby — that’s brain damage.

What are you going to do about it? Every baby gets those.

[-] Javi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago

That's actually why the dad believes the baby is a late bloomer; It took him this long to get a concussion? He's practically a toddler now!

[-] SilverCode@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah, I mean, I couldn't even crawl before I rolled off the bed and hit the floor with my head while my Mom was trying to change me.

I like turtles 🐢

Actually the kid is clearly superhuman and the parents failed to recognize it. No way a human baby could break a solid table leg.

Just wait until the next time the groundskeeper comes by with his lawnmower.

Hope bro had an enjoyable life despite his judgy-ass parents.

Evidence this man is a failure:

Can break tables with his soft infantile head

Cannot ride bike

Can do weed

Has a job

Rip, bozo. What a fucking idiot

???
Judgmental ass comic lol

It's like what happens when parents don't teach their kid and expect them to just know everything.

Capitalist propaganda posting is worse than horny posting.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

what do you mean everybody knows you gotta be a neuroscientist billionaire or else you failed in life.

Those parents clearly never "bloomed" either. A baby shouldn't have been able to destroy a table leg unless it was completely rotted out. The bike tire must have been already bent. Falling off of it in the middle a field doesn't twist up the front wheel like that. It looks like the front wheel failed and the kid was ejected forward.

That poor kid grew up in a dangerous household with neglectful parents.

How can a completely rotted out baby break a table leg?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

when the core has nothing inside it, the abs flex inwards instead of doing what they're supposed to. that was a fun thing to learn.

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Well most depictions of zombies do show them with superhuman strength.

Plot Twist: The parents were killed in a car accident on the way home from the hospital with their new son. While he survived, miraculously uninjured, and was adopted out, the parents became ghosts, unseen, hovering over him for the rest of his life ... to reunite only at the end.

Would make sense except they have different clothes and get grey hair

Bloomer humor

[-] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

The fuck is this supposed to mean?

[-] lobut@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago

I think it's just a play on the word "bloom" as the flowers bloom after he's dead as opposed to being someone that "bloomed" in life

[-] IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It has a happy ending

[-] Gold_E_Lox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

pro suicide propaganda

[-] oldscratchXV@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Gee, thanks. As if I didn't feel bad enough about my life already./s

[-] TheFrirish@tarte.nuage-libre.fr 4 points 1 week ago

I like this is neither edgy nor funny.

[-] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

A "late bloomer" can live a perfectly happy and fulfilling life if you just support and believe in them the same as you would a bright kid.

There's flowers blooming on the grave in the last panel.

[-] Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 week ago

Funny how many people overlook that :)

[-] Beep@lemmus.org 1 points 1 week ago

Neither did they...

[-] AntiBullyRanger@ani.social 1 points 1 week ago

Maybe you project too much on people that are not you?

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Late for a society that's properly calibrated to our human nature.
