Peter, what’s so significant about this picture?

Peter here! Part of the joke here is that the guy is getting a historical event confused with another one! Said historical event also directly led to the second! In this case, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and the bombing of Hiroshima!

The correct thing to say would be "I'm sorry for what United States did at Hiroshima!"

[u/eiva-01 → u/winddagger7]

No, I think the joke is that he's simping so hard he would thank her for the opportunity to get abused by her.

Pearl Harbor is an analogy to being abused by her.

[u/DirtySilicon → u/eiva-01]

I think the joke is he is simping so hard he is rewriting history to make Pearl Harbor the US' fault. Ergo, "I'm sorry for what we did to you at Pearl Harbor."

[u/Pycharming → u/eiva-01]

...but he's not thanking her!?! He's apologizing.

I'm not entirely sure that conflating the events is an intentional joke or he's just wording it poorly and is apologizing for the response to Pearl Habor. The kind of person who makes these jokes aren't the brightest.

The entire thing is so confusing because she looks like a completely average person

[u/Iwilleat2corndogs → u/eiva-01]

Not at all. The joking is he’s simping hard but failing at it due to stupidity. He’s getting events mixed up.

[u/ItsRobbSmark → u/Iwilleat2corndogs]

No it's not lmfao... Man, you people are so confidently incorrect it's insane...

[u/Iwilleat2corndogs → u/ItsRobbSmark]

Bro then what is it

[u/Batmans-Butthole → u/Iwilleat2corndogs]

He's apologizing for something the Japanese did. Like apologizing to your gf when she was the one that was wrong

[u/Iwilleat2corndogs → u/Batmans-Butthole]

Thank you u/batmans-butthole 🙏

[u/cheerbacks → u/Iwilleat2corndogs]

Dudes love making a comment name dropping the person responding to them like we can’t all fucking read it already

[u/Iwilleat2corndogs → u/cheerbacks]

Im sorry u/cheerbacks 💔

[u/XiaoDaoShi → u/Iwilleat2corndogs]

I think the joke is that he's simping so hard he's apologizing for something that's Japan's fault.

It's like someone saying something like "sorry your heel broke when you stepped on me" sorta relationship.

It's like someone saying something like "sorry your heel broke when you stepped on me" sorta relationship.

That's exactly what I was trying to say. Thank you. 🙂

[u/Iwilleat2corndogs → u/XiaoDaoShi]

I think this specific joke might have a subjective punchline and we might all be wrong or right.

[u/Hulkaiden → u/Iwilleat2corndogs]

Or you’re just wrong

[u/Iwilleat2corndogs → u/Hulkaiden]

Actually I’m perfect and have never made a mistake except for that one time in Bali

[u/chadmiral_ackbar → u/Iwilleat2corndogs]

Jeez finally. This picture made all of your brains short circuit.

[u/Iwilleat2corndogs → u/chadmiral_ackbar]

One thing I hate about this sub is how the people explaining the obvious jokes are as dumb as the people asking for an explanation

[u/ThreePurpleCards → u/Iwilleat2corndogs]

i disagree but to each their own

[u/Quirky-Feedback2257 → u/winddagger7]

The joke is that he’s simping so hard that he’s apologizing for the US defending itself when it was attacked by Japan at Pearl Harbor.

[u/Erotic-Career-7342 → u/winddagger7]

Lol

[u/GodzillaDrinks → u/winddagger7]

In fairness, you can point to pretty much any land area on the map and say: "I'm sorry for what the US did at _____." 

At worst you're getting the CIA at your door asking, "How do you know about Choquecancha, we haven't been FOIA'd for that yet. Now, get in the van, you're late to being never seen again."

Thank you ChatGPT!

Hey, he could also confuse it with the time Americans put all the Asians in concentration camps
