This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I mean, a gunner is a job in the military. Not much different than naming your kid Gunars, which means warrior. Gunman would be more on the nose. I'm just saying, when I hear Gunner's mom yelling at him not to spill his soda in the car in the grocery store parking lot in 15 years, I'll be like, "yep, that's a normal name."
Also, mass shootings arent the norm. They are extremely rare.
But yes, naming your kid "gun" to "own the libs" is indeed cringe as fuck.
Naming your kid after a job is cringe.
