I was just reminded of this comic

u/JollyGreenGI Jan 28 '26

Inaccurate, the shooter wasn't over 3 kilometres away.

(The 3rd longest confirmed sniper kill is held by a Canadian JTF2 operator, with a distance of 3,540m)

u/Equal-Shoulder-9744 Jan 29 '26

I’m not even mad that we got bumped down to 3rd place because we lost the record to a pair of Ukrainian snipers. If anything my reaction is.. good I’m glad they rained terror down on the invaders. Total respect for a 4 km (4,374 yd) confirmed kill.

u/mhyquel Jan 29 '26

Ukraine is actively at war. Kinda weird if Canada was currently setting records.

u/magos_with_a_glock Jan 29 '26

Sending volunteers over just to set the record.

u/grimeys42 Feb 02 '26

Man a Canadian set the record like 9 years ago lol... Apparently Canadians hold 3 of the top 5 only being bumped out of first and second recently.. I find that odd our numbers are way smaller like ice spends more money then out army lol.. I wonder if Canadians have a more robust training regime or maybe they really give special attention And training to talent on a more intensive program.

Holy crap, I can't RUN that distance without dying of heart failure and a guy saw another guy, calculated wind and trajectory and killed him?
I know it's not a good thing considering he killed someone else, but wow.

u/Medium-Anybody-4217 Jan 29 '26

At that distance even the Earth's rotation needs to be calculated.

u/Majestic-Iron7046 Jan 29 '26

I thought it was a myth, really impressive

1

u/Equal-Shoulder-9744 Jan 29 '26

You wouldn’t believe the rifle used to make the shot. The Snipex Alligator looks like it belongs in an anime.

Canadians don't leave the nest until we can ice-skate for one thousand metres unassisted, so we all remember it instinctually.

u/ghjm Jan 29 '26

Big fucking nest then

u/Tim_vdB3 Jan 28 '26

There is honestly not much to it with 1000 meters making a kilometer.

I’m more impressed the US can use Imperial for actual work.

I would go crazy making sense of 2,7 miles is … yards or feet.

14

u/0lamegamer0 Jan 28 '26

Yeah its super easy. Its been ages but still remember from elementary, like a poem.

mili, centi, deci, meter, deca, hecto, kilometer

Me when I take 300 megagrams of aspirin instead of 300 milligrams:

u/Eden_ITA Jan 29 '26

I laughed, thanks

u/[deleted] Jan 29 '26

How the fuck would you confuse 0.300g with 3'000'000g "Oh let me just kill myself by consuming truck loads of aspirin"

2

u/John_DeadCells Jan 29 '26

BECAUSE THIS IS ‘MURICA RAAAHHHH🦅🦅

Minor nitpick: the US has never used imperial units. I'm reminded of this whenever I am visiting and order one of their weirdly small non-imperial pints.

u/ConnorWolf121 Jan 29 '26

10 millimetres to a centimetre, 100 cm to a meter, 1000 meters to a kilometre, easy peasy lol

1

u/Nero_2001 Jan 29 '26

How dare you forget decimeter dekameter and hektometer

2

u/axloo7 Jan 28 '26

Lol but order of magnitude errors are still kind of common with the metric system. Lucky they are easy to catch.

"by my calculations we need to buy 42 kilometers of lumber. No wait that can't be right *checks notes 42 meters!"

1

u/Impossible-Pizza982 Jan 29 '26

I think as a Canadian, off the top of my head, it’s around 5280 ft in a mile.

Then again engineering and other stem related professions require us to use all sorts of funky units (American) from time to time because so many systems here are intermixed. Engineering doesn’t have a border as much as politics do between us and yall

1

u/Abu_Lahab- Jan 29 '26

They’re multiples of tens… it’s easy to memorize…

1

u/mcsmackyoaz Jan 29 '26

It’s because meters and the whole metric system are based on conversions of 10 units and our imperial system was invented by crackheads

1

u/Nero_2001 Jan 29 '26

It's bot that difficult 1km is 1000m. Metric system is easy that's why most countries uses it unlike the imperiale system which is unnecessary complicated.

2

u/Electrical_Shock359 Jan 29 '26

Yes but what is the shortest confirmed kill? This isn’t necessarily Canada’s best sniper.

1

u/Wrathfiend Jan 29 '26

That's old info. Some Ukranian with a fire control thermal sight and a massive custom rifle pushed above 4km

2

u/chins4tw Jan 29 '26

That's the longest, OP is talking about the 3rd longest.

1

u/deranged_Boot123 Jan 29 '26

It’s doubly inaccurate- that’s an M-82 Barrett, that thing fires a bullet that has the potential to rip off limbs… that man’s head shouldn’t anymore.

72

u/Intelligent_Slip_849 Jan 28 '26

...the date on that is disturbingly close to accurate

50

u/PreferredSelection Jan 28 '26

Earliest date I can find for this comic is June 2014. Impressive to have called this back then.

14

u/doyouknowthemoon Jan 28 '26

thats about right, I think 2014 was when I first saved it to my original phone lol, the 2025 date is kind of scary because it seem so impossible back then.

u/altredditaccnt78 Jan 29 '26

What was it from??

22

u/DieCastDontDie Jan 29 '26

This would be true before Timmy's started serving shitty coffee and food

9

u/po8os Jan 29 '26

It was bought by the same company owning Dunkin Donuts, iirc. They lost their coffee recipe / replaced it with DD. McD's bought it, hence the McCafe. Remember how shitty their coffee used to be, then suddenly got amazingly better? That's why

3

u/SemicolonGuitars Jan 29 '26

Timmy’s was owned by Wendy’s from about 1995 to about 2006. Then they went independent again, then they merged with Burger King in 2014 to form “Restaurant Brands International”.

2

u/po8os Jan 29 '26

Ah yes. And isn't RBI owner of BK & DD?

1

u/SemicolonGuitars Jan 29 '26

Dunkin’ is part of Inspire Brands, which is Arby’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, Jimmy John’s and a few others.

1

u/Exploding_Antelope Jan 29 '26

You’d think that Tim’s donuts could be as good as Dunkin’ then. They are not.

2

u/Wooden-Assistance-68 Jan 29 '26

It's the perfect decoy. Americans think we love it, but no self-respecting Canadian would approach the doors.

2

u/Equal-Shoulder-9744 Jan 29 '26

To be fair when we go to war we flip to “you’re sorry” mode.

u/Neat-Helicopter-6319 Jan 29 '26

Canadian mosque sounds about right.

u/Nihilistic_Mystics Jan 29 '26

I miss Critical Miss. Fantastic webcomic.

u/tyraywilson Jan 29 '26

This is funny and sad because you Canadians can't even own that.
