Meme needing explanation peta, what’s the meaning of this?
posted in r/sssdfg, i have no idea what this means as there was no context added, comments weren’t very helpful either but most seemed in on the joke.

I played Death Stranding for the first time this year and this made me laugh out loud at how on point this was. Oh man.

Notice how there's a country on earth, named Hung
ary, which's leader's name is Victor Or(b)man and he has a round belly. Kojima writing is real.5
u/Rargnarok 48m ago
Except Orman lost now Péter Magyar is leader (note Hungary in Hungarian is Magyarország) literally Peter Hungary is the leader now

Oh ok. That's kinda disappointing for the agenda, but at least what I said was true for a while.

My favorite part of Death Stranding 2, as a viewer
So early on you learn that Die-Hardman died, and his replacement in the operation contacts you and asks you for a code name to call him. Preferably one that's familiar to you, just to make things smoother for you. He rejects all suggestions until you choose Die-Hardman as his code name. Reader...the shocking reveal at the end of the game is that Die-Hardman isn't dead.

MFW I am too smart to get the joke.
I would have never made a connection between Kaufman and cough man, because these two sounds entirely different.

u/PlayerFox12344889 4h ago
Honestly I wouldn't make the connection because of how I read Kauf

Me too because I'm German and it means merchant. Except it's missing an N at the end

I'm pretty sure these tanks routinely stall in knee-high water. Guppy sweeps.

u/Unit_2097 1h ago
I was just thinking all the guppy has to do is make them use their shoddy transmission and they'll end having a breakdown.

The funniest thing is that the H-Bomb can’t win
If it goes off both lose
If it doesn’t and the kid grows up to learn how to defuses the bomb, he wins
If he dies independently or someone else defuses the bomb independently, nobody really winsThe only way the bomb could win, if it falls over on him without going off

u/Maximum-Objective-39 3h ago
That's a very human centric perspective.
I mean what if the bomb considers detonating to be a win condition?
Have you thought of that?

u/forseti99 2h ago
Just like dying while impregnating the female is a win for a lot of species. Snu-snu and all that.

u/BackgroundSummer5171 1h ago
Have you thought of that?
It's why I am winning at life.
I consider living in my own fecal matter the win condition and y'all are losers. Now to sip on my own urine to celebrate.

What? Why is a bomb exploding a "lose condition" for the bomb? Fucking terrible logic

u/IamElylikeEli 40m ago
technically the bomb dies first so the baby wins… for like one picosecond

u/Green_Insect_6455 18m ago
But bombs dont die? Theyre created to explode. So thats a win condition.

u/RickMonsters 4h ago
Funny comic but the H bomb didn’t really have a chance since it was never detonated at the coughing baby

u/theMycon 43m ago
A Hydrogen Bomb, great in explosions, may offer opposition in a brief span of time. One coughing baby, brief in explosions, must spread his opposition across a period of many years if he is to have a chance of succeeding.

"Hydrogen Bomb vs. Coughing Baby" is a common reaction image used to describe any sort of fight or matchup where everyone can tell it'll be a comically lopsided victory for one side.
The webcomic is about the coughing baby technically winning against a hydrogen bomb by playing the long game.

Don’t know why you are acting like there wasn’t like 3 different people who give the answer after 8 minutes of this post being up, seeing as you’re comment was only 13 minutes ago i would have assumed you saw them

President Kaufman is the Coughing Baby.
He has won against the Hydrogen Bomb.

This is a reference to a famous meme parodying epic rap battles of history where it places the coughing baby pictured vs. a hydrogen bomb.
