Also, please consider voting.<\/p>\n<p>But if we must live in Hell the very least we can expect are some dank vaguely related memes. Considering I was offline most of this weekend, imagine how utterly confused I was to see literally everyone talking about shooting 30-50 feral hogs in 3-5 minutes to protect their kids on the yard.

People really did need a release after suffering through such torment. And the meme is now leaking into other parts of the internet, like free browser games.<\/p>\n<p>Developed by Bookska on itch.io, this <a href=\"https:\/\/elijahcobb.itch.io\/30-50-feral-hogs\"  rel=\"noopener\">30-50 feral hogs game<\/a>\u00a0has you doing just what the tweet says: shooting those wild pigs to save you kids. The keyboard controls are a little wonky and the time\/kill requirements are beyond unreasonable. But maybe that just proves the point that no one actually needs these out of control assault weapons.<\/p>\n<p>The game was submitted under a tag suggesting it was part of an entire game jam of games based on the meme. But this is the only entry so far. Other folks have just been posting screenshots of swell swine slaughter in games like <em>Far Cry <\/em>and <em>Minecraft<\/em>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"und\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IEAwViWVvU\">pic.twitter.com\/IEAwViWVvU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Andy Kelly (@ultrabrilliant) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ultrabrilliant\/status\/1158711453114949633?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 6, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s ridiculous that this is what we\u2019re talking about, instead of doing something to solve the very real gun problem.
