Jenga, when the sales fell.
- Timber, his arms open.
  
  Janeway, her coffee empty
- Jenga, when the towers fell
- They started making wooden airplanes
  
  At least this wasn't released https://youtu.be/F2uJvwiSZAQ?si=LVfwnpZDCP2oKmQ9
- Mr bush there's a second looser
Idk why but twin tower jokes will never not be funny
- You know. I got a massive amount of memes stored about that subject. I can't remember the exact number but it's between 1000 and 900.
  
  I can't remember the exact number but it's between 1000 and 900.
  
  Is it 911?
- Are you a twelve year old? You clearly weren't alive when it happened.
  
  I was alive when Allende was overthrown by Pinochet in Chile in 9/11 coup! Wait, we are talking about the US 9/11?
  
  I was alive when it happened. The only thing that healed my trauma was the memes
  
  I was 18. We were making too soon jokes within a week.
  
  Well, were you alive when the US retaliated by killing 100 times as many innocent civilians over the actions of a few?
  
  3000 lives is nothing compared to 300 000, even if they are American.
  
  So how about you let us make our god damn memes?
  
  Oh noes some people died! Way more people have died through covid, the ukraine&russia war, the new gaza massacre, of hunger on africa every year... It might have affected you because it happened nearby, but you are not special for having things like that happen to you.
  
  Ah, Americans, can joke about literally anything else except MURICA.
It really was the 9/11 of the Jenga industry.
- a true sports car for the ages.
I wonder if this is actually real. I could see it.
- The steep drop between 2000 and 2001 makes me wonder. The attack was nearer to the end of 2001.
  
  I think that is because many people buy Jenga as a christmas present, which are usually bought after september.
  
  I think you have your dates mixed up. These are sales from that calendar year. 2001 sales were down a good bit, so after the attack. 2002 sales was the big dip.
  
  Maybe the winter holiday sale would normaly be substantial and therefore had a over proportional impact. 2002 was the more significant drop though.
I think this has more to do with the dot-com bust then 9/11.
- There's always a relevant xkcd: Correlation: https://xkcd.com/552/
- If anything, the rebound started at 9/11
  
  Not much of a rebound if it's just rebounding to the standard downward trend.
  
  Jet fuel can't melt wood blocks.
Should've started selling commemorative Jenga 2-Packs.

Like how Beany Baby did a Princess Diana bear
Twin towers Sept 2001?
- Correct.
Damn. Lemmy Shitpost is dark today.
