The Breakfast Gun goes on whichever side the diner’s firing hand is.
Edits below!
After some discussion and reflection, I agree with @Zachariah@lemmy.world that the Breakfast Gun would indeed go on the left, “to show you plan for a peaceful meal.”
Furthermore, presentation of Firearms depends on the level of dining:
At a polite table, guests are expected to lay their Meal Arms down holstered, so as not to soil the table linens. Placing a Meal Arm directly on the tablecloth is a sign of disrespect.
At a formal table, a Firearm Napkin will be provided for each diner. This allows diners to display their Meal Arms openly without soiling the linens.
At a “high table,” Meal Arms will be provided by the host. These Arms, while fully functional, are adorned with many engravings and flourishes, as a demonstration of the host’s status, and the diner’s status as a guest at the table.
That isn’t an ambidextrous gun, so it belongs on the right.
It goes on the opposite side to show you plan for a peaceful meal.
Now that’s etiquette.
Real shooters can shoot with both hands.
I stand corrected.
What’s this gif from? I NEED to watch this movie.
Kopps (Sweden 2003)
Sweden?! I was so sure that was gonna be Bollywood…!
Clearly it’s from Holy Wood.
Having seen it, I have to say that it’s inspired by India.
It’s not a very good movie, but it has those scenes.
Awesome, thanks.
One egg!? I’m sorry is this the USSR?
Close, but no, this is USSA. You missed by 4 kilometers.
Can you translate that to freedom units 💪?
Kilomet-🤢
For all times, for all people
Oh, wow! I am using that in political chats, given our current political climate.
No, this is clearly someone originally from Quebec. Because there, one egg is un ouef.
On its own single egg plate. So fancy
A real American would put the multiple eggs on top of the bacon
Not Our egg!
You mean USSA? Well the corruption is comparable.
You mean beaurocracy and nepotism? Because in USSR there were no traditional corruption because having money was not enough to get anything you want. Usually there was problem of not having enough stuff to spend money on.
AuthLeft: be fortunate you get the one egg
Where is the fucking cheese and Coca Cola?
That cheese sounds interesting, where would I find it?
You must not be American. Everything here is better with cheese.
Eggs? Cheese.
Toast? Cheese.
Bacon? Cheese.
All of the above combined, you got a sammich.
Coffee? Cheese.
Gun? Cheese.
“”“”“”“”“”““cheese””“”“”“”“”“”
or whatever that plastic thing you guys eat is
Thank God I’m not american
That’s the ceremonical gun, the actual one is under the belt pointing at the owner’s testicles.
Ya gotta do a desk pop.
Safety off. Only protection is the hefty FUPA obscuring the weapon from sight
Have you seen the trigger “safety” on a Glock? Yeah I don’t have a safety on any of the guns I carry. Only one of them is a Glock, but that’s the closest to a safety any of them have.
Ok, first off…I usually have two eggs.
Second, it is with my Sig p365
So…checkmate!
I think it’s a 226?
Three eggs. But yes. Sig P365.
Also, there’s only one starch. We have potatoes with our toast.
I prefer to have my bacon mountain on top of my pancake tower. Also, needs more eggs and jelly for my toast, but where.the.fuck. is my glass of OJ?
I am pancake!
I just imagine they eat a huge bowl of that candy which they xall cereal.
I believe in plain Cheerios superiority
No cheese
No sausages
No ketchup
Looks like the UK viewpoint.
Close. I keep a little league aluminum baseball bat handy for those rude individuals that like to interrupt my peaceful breakfast.
This is why I have a suppressor on my breakfast gun
Si vis pacem, para baseball bat
Muy verdades
The gun is on the correct side of the plate for a right hand shooter, but should be laying on it’s left side so that it can be picked up from above with the right hand. </s>
No, left side is correct for the breakfast gun.
A gun that size isn’t actually big enough for situations where you need a gun, it’s just meant to provide cover fire while you get a bigger better gun. You’ll be using your left hand to fire the cover gun, so that your right hand is available for picking up the bigger gun. This has the additional benefit of leaving your dominant hand free to eat with.
You can drop a grown man or big game with a .22! Take lessons or give up the gun.
The correct answer, as they say, is always in the comments
Remove the /s, you are right and the commenter was ignorant of traditional American etiquette.
Can’t I be both right and sarcastic?
The best kind of sarcasm is right.
Also, “lying”. “Lay” means “to recline”.
Serial number is on the other side so it’s that way for the picture.
This picture is distinctly lacking in ultraprocessed sugary cereal and/or shelf-stable pastries.
Yeah, plus the cholesterol medication. Bonus points if the mobility chair is within sight.
They’re American. They can’t afford cholesterol medication.
Half the bacon is candy and the bread is a cake.
Well according to commercials from the 80s when I was a kid that’s part of a balanced breakfast.
Shelf-stable pastries just never stops being an alarming phrase
No I haven’t eaten cereal or processed breakfast foods in decades. Just give me the eggs, bacon, sausage, toast with lots of butter and cheese. Where the fuck is the cheese?
Bacon is a processed food. A tasty one.
In a spray can somewhere
Don’t go talking like that near Wisconsin.
No donut?
That’s probably second breakfast.
It goes on whichever side your dominant hand is. Also, in the picture it’s flipped the wrong way: Handle goes out so you can pick it up easily for when you need to dispense freedom seeds.
Also^2, the coffee should be black.
I was gonna upvote you for the first paragraph, but had to rescind it for the second.
Black coffee best coffee and I’ll stand by that statement.
I assume you eat dry cereal without milk too, like an serial killer.
Nope, milk is fine in cereal.
Coffee black. Cereal with yogurt or heavy cream.
At the conclusion of a satisfying meal, Americans are expected to fire their Breakfast Guns into the air in the parking lot. It’s considered courteous, and it signals to others where a good breakfast can be found.
It used to be, but at this point in history, that’s like $300 worth of bacon.
From experience that is about $20-30.
Only one way to resolve this dispute: gentlemen, to your respective breakfast guns.
Ok, but can’t we just cook $300 worth of bacon and find out who is right and have enough bacon to stop my heart instead?
