from the tumblr:

"You say not all men are monsters?
Imagine a bowl of M&Ms. 10% of them are poisoned.
Go ahead. Eat a handful.
Not all M&Ms are poison."

what is it with the "bowl of candy" analogy being a breeding ground for stupidity

Only 90% of men should go in your mouth? This is a confusing metaphor.

gently caress it, let's play this one out: let's draw out the Trumpian inference that only Muslims are terrorists. According to the CDC, the odds of dying in a terrorist attack are somewhere in the neighborhood of one in roughly three-and-a-half million. In order for Trump's analogy to be true, we'd be getting a handful of skittles from a bowl of more than ten million skittles, three individual pieces of which would be poisonous.

being offered a bowl of ten million skittles would be quite delightful.

Except it's not even that, the metaphor is that if you put the wrong skittle into you the entire body, IE the country, will die. But let's look at that. It's loving stupid on it's face, no single person is going to kill all of America in a single action. The biggest and most successful terror attack in the entire history of the United States was the September 11th attack of 2001. It killed nearly 3,000 people, just a touch over one one-hundred-thousandth of the population of the United States at the time. Let's say (wrongly) that this was something that could be perpetrated by a single person (Skittle). The metaphor maps the actions of the body to the actions of the country, so let's do the reverse with the result. Let's map the population of the United States to the mass of the average human body (80kg) and see how much of the body dies assuming the worst. The most successful terror attack maps to the death of just over one one-hundred-thousandth of that body, or about 1 gram of biomass.

Human blood has a mass/volume ratio of 1.05g/mL. In order to be an appropriate metaphor, the worst that these skittles can do is cause us to lose one milliliter of blood. A "drop" in pharmacy parlance is 0.05 mL, so in total, the most damage these death-skittles could possibly cause is the loss of about 19 drops of blood from the body that eats them. If you scoffed the whole bowl down, you'd lose a grand total of 3 mL of blood.

A typical blood donation is 500 mL. In order to risk death, you need to lose about three times that much.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
