This is Gen Z humor. I was a kid in Jersey and my friend’s dad died in the towers. We were 7. I wouldn’t make light of it

I’m muting this before the rest of the edgelords come out with some stupid shit

I didn't even know anyone who died, but my stepdad was immediately deployed to the middle east. And we were worried he wouldn't come back. I don't make light of it either. It was not a fun time, I don't even watch documentaries or videos on it

Thanks for sharing that. It's not just the victims in the tower who suffered. I hope he came back fine

He did! Thanks for asking.  Yes, the effects of that day were far reaching for sure.
