The Alamo's a story of American expansionism by an ungrateful group of settlers welcomed by Mexico.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

America are the bad guys in the Alamo story.

[–] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What the fuck is an Alamo? Is it like an Internet but with less porn?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

Remember the Alamo!

[–] potentiallynotfelix@lemmy.fish 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Weren't they telling Mexicans not to forget the Alamo? I'm not Mexican, so I shouldn't need to remember the Alamo

[–] JoMomma@lemm.ee 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Aren't we all Mexican on the inside?

If someone weighs 120lbs and has severe munchies, probably from that Grave Reaper Vanilla Kush Zombie Lettuce OG, and eats 12lbs of tacos would that make them 10% Mexican?

In other news, you just lost The Game.

I've started ignoring random posts about it.

Its the equivalent of telling your little sibling about it and having to listen to them shout "I lost the game" for next 5 months. It gets old quick.

Now if I think about this post and comment later on my own, then sure I'll have lost the game.

[–] Caligvla@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

Nah. The moment you even think of the game you've lost it, the only way to win is to die and hope there's no afterlife so you don't have to think about it.

Fuck 'em, I do what I want.

[–] solidgrue@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I didn't so much forget it as I did assume Texans were just playing the martyr for getting their collective asses kicked in. Again.

You know... Like Dallas Cowboys fans?

[–] solidgrue@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

San Jacincto was a different battle wherein Mexico got their collective ass kicked in there. The Alamo was a rallying cry.

Alamo itself was a rout for the Texians [sic]. There's no side-stepping that. It goes as it goes.

"Have some apple pie. Oops, can't forget the ala mode."

[–] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Idky this seems like something weird al would say

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I think I got it from Colin Mocheri on Who's Line. So close.

[–] apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

Remember that's the first time Texas fought for slavery.

What about the Lusitania? There's so many things we forgot to remember!

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

The Alamo is worth being forgot about. It's always told as a feel good story but it's actually just kinda fucked up. Pretty on par for American history

[–] DaMonsterKnees@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Clearly, you haven't seen PeeWee. I ONLY remember the Alamo.

Deep in the heart of texas

[–] darkmarx@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

If that were the case, how did you know to post about it?

[–] aramis87@fedia.io 5 points 3 days ago

I think that only applies to Texans.

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Can't forget what you never knew in the first place.

[–] CaptainKickass@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

The bicycle is in the basement

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Forget about Dre though?

[–] pezmaker@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

As all things will be forgotten. So it goes.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'd like to forget the Alamo

me: hey, racistpieceofshit, why do you hate Mexicans?

racistpieceofshit: they killed Davey Crockett at the Alamo!

I wish I was making this shit up

[–] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Happy dia de la independencia 🇲🇽

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

I forgot about Wednesday until someone asked if I "celebrate", their words.
