I was also taught this in school, along with many very unscientific things. When they eventually taught us about evolution (they had to because of national curriculum) they couldn't stop stressing how it was "just an outdated theory" and showed us additional videos which "disproved" it

Militaries having guns is a very different thing to the general population having guns.

There have been quite a few studies that suggest the opposite. I strongly suggest the book "Human Kind" if you want some optimism, it investigates this topic.

If you think they would be the consequence of banning and removing guns from society, you can test this theory by looking at any country which has already done this. What you find is that gun violence is extremely minimal in these countries. So turns out your worries are over nothing!

I mean people have fun with many things which are dangerous. Fireworks are dangerous, rock climbing is dangerous, driving is dangerous.

I'm strongly anti-gun, but I'm willing to admit they are fun.

In Germany helmets are not required. Some wear them but still very many don't.

Malbgolge is an esoteric lang like brainfuck, but much much harder to use

Well then this is a poor choice of meme template, which is probably why this post is turning out to be so divisive. This meme format is used to mock a series of increasingly ridiculous statements/beliefs/actions. Here, the final and therefore most ridiculous statement is simply "there is a male loneliness epidemic". If the intention was not to mock this statement, and supposed to mock people who blame the epidemic for their problems, there are many ways it could have been worded to be clear about that, but currently it reads to me (and clearly many people) as direct mockery of male loneliness.

No, len is a constant time operation, at least in most cases I believe.

In my experience, the mental effort spent trying to understand the German in a meme makes the comedic payout better

The problem is the format of the meme implies that the last panel is invalid, and that the conclusion "there is a male loneliness epidemic" is something only women hating clowns believe.

I guarantee if the last panel was stated like "why won't women date me" or "I'm lonely" or even "I'm only single because of the male loneliness epidemic" then there wouldn't be nearly as much backlash in the comments
