minus-square✺roguetrick✺@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up25·3 months agoRemember remember the fifth of November Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason Why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot. Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent To blow up the King and the Parliament Three score barrels of powder below Poor old England to overthrow By God’s providence he was catch’d With a dark lantern and burning match Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring Holler boys, holler boys God save the King!
minus-squareI_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-23 months agoNevermind, missed the post title
minus-squareCorkyskoglinkfedilinkarrow-up9·3 months agoIDK if a joke, but it’s a reference to the gunpowder plot.
minus-squareI_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·edit-23 months agoMaybe the comments here are, but the original tweet has literally zero reference to it. There is no joke in the original tweet, just pearl clutching.
minus-squareCorkyskoglinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·3 months agoIt’s the title of the post? The fifth of November is Guy Fawkes day, Gunpowder Plot.
minus-squareI_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 months agoAh yea, missed the post title. My bad.
minus-squarewarbond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoI think that’s their point, that the joke is flimsy to begin with
minus-squareCorkyskoglinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down1·3 months agoYeah, that’s what I originally assumed, but their response didn’t make sense.
minus-squareexanime@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down2·3 months agoYes… November 5th is the gunpowder plot anniversary made famous (again in NA by the movie V For Vendetta) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder_Plot?wprov=sfla1
minus-squareZeppolinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down2·3 months agoYes. Your reaction is a bit dramatic.

Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent
To blow up the King and the Parliament
Three score barrels of powder below
Poor old England to overthrow
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring
Holler boys, holler boys
God save the King!
Nevermind, missed the post title
