The gun is on the correct side of the plate for a right hand shooter, but should be laying on it's left side so that it can be picked up from above with the right hand.

Remove the /s, you are right and the commenter was ignorant of traditional American etiquette.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Can't I be both right and sarcastic?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

The best kind of sarcasm is right.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago (2 children)

No, left side is correct for the breakfast gun.

A gun that size isn't actually big enough for situations where you need a gun, it's just meant to provide cover fire while you get a bigger better gun. You'll be using your left hand to fire the cover gun, so that your right hand is available for picking up the bigger gun. This has the additional benefit of leaving your dominant hand free to eat with.

This picture is distinctly lacking in ultraprocessed sugary cereal and/or shelf-stable pastries.

Yeah, plus the cholesterol medication. Bonus points if the mobility chair is within sight.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago

They're American. They can't afford cholesterol medication.

No I haven't eaten cereal or processed breakfast foods in decades. Just give me the eggs, bacon, sausage, toast with lots of butter and cheese. Where the fuck is the cheese?

One egg!? I'm sorry is this the USSR?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

On its own single egg plate. So fancy

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

A real American would put the multiple eggs on top of the bacon

Close, but no, this is USSA. You missed by 4 kilometers.

No, this is clearly someone originally from Quebec. Because there, one egg is un ouef.

It used to be, but at this point in history, that's like $300 worth of bacon.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

From experience that is about $20-30.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Only one way to resolve this dispute: gentlemen, to your respective breakfast guns.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago

Ok, but can't we just cook $300 worth of bacon and find out who is right and have enough bacon to stop my heart instead?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 4 months ago (19 children)

There's not nearly enough butter on that toast, not enough eggs, and where's the sausage? In Florida the breakfast gun goes on the dominant side with the grip out. Once alcohol is served the slide will be locked back. In particularly liberal circles the magazines will also be popped out. We aren't savages.

The Breakfast Gun goes on whichever side the diner's firing hand is.

Edits below!

After some discussion and reflection, I agree with @[email protected] that the Breakfast Gun would indeed go on the left, "to show you plan for a peaceful meal."

Furthermore, presentation of Firearms depends on the level of dining:

At a polite table, guests are expected to lay their Meal Arms down holstered, so as not to soil the table linens. Placing a Meal Arm directly on the tablecloth is a sign of disrespect.

At a formal table, a Firearm Napkin will be provided for each diner. This allows diners to display their Meal Arms openly without soiling the linens.

At a "high table," Meal Arms will be provided by the host. These Arms, while fully functional, are adorned with many engravings and flourishes, as a demonstration of the host's status, and the diner's status as a guest at the table.

Ok, first off....I usually have two eggs.

Second, it is with my Sig p365

Also, there's only one starch. We have potatoes with our toast.

Fork goes on the left; each has four letters.

Spoon and knife go on the right; each has five letters.

Gun goes... on top?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

Gun goes on hip so that you don't need to train on drawing while eating breakfast separately from training on drawing while doing anything else while sitting.

At the conclusion of a satisfying meal, Americans are expected to fire their Breakfast Guns into the air in the parking lot. It's considered courteous, and it signals to others where a good breakfast can be found.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (2 children)

That's the ceremonical gun, the actual one is under the belt pointing at the owner's testicles.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Safety off. Only protection is the hefty FUPA obscuring the weapon from sight

Close. I keep a little league aluminum baseball bat handy for those rude individuals that like to interrupt my peaceful breakfast.

This is why I have a suppressor on my breakfast gun

It goes on whichever side your dominant hand is. Also, in the picture it's flipped the wrong way: Handle goes out so you can pick it up easily for when you need to dispense freedom seeds.

Also^2, the coffee should be black.

Not enough bacon.

Lol. We don’t use separate plates unless we are served them at a restaurant.

American breakfast is the same as English breakfast except we don't have beans or blood sausage. The beans are replaced with fruit, the blood sausage is replaced with regular sausage, and the gun is just a centerpiece, not actually part of the meal.
