    What a hilariously niche reference.

    WWII survivorship bias diagram, I need 1 for educational purposes

    You probably want to reinforce the middle of the cookies considering that’s where all the nonpareils are.

    Glad I looked at the comments because my atheist ass thought it was a crucifix showing the stab marks or something lol

    This is such an amazing post and my partner did not give me the reaction I was looking for when I excitedly showed them and explained.

  8. Miss_Fritter

    Can someone explain for those of us who live under a rock?

  9. ethereal_firefly

    My dumbass went “your cross looks like an airplane ya dud”😂 and then paused 🫥 and realized, I am the dud.🥲

    I knew what it was instantly. I love this. Well done

  11. BohemianHibiscus

    I thought it was braille 🤷🏽. I clearly cannot read braille 🫠

    Babe wake up survivorship bias cookie just dropped

  13. Ginger_Cat74

    I love this so much!! This just made me excited to make Christmas cookies again. I’ll need to buy a new cookie cutter though.

  14. HatdanceCanada

    I thought that looks like a plane. What a terrible cookie shape. Then I saw the placement of the nonpareil and got the joke even before the comments. Love it. Very clever.

  15. HatdanceCanada

    The bigger question is what crisis – existential or biological – do you have to survive to warrant these at the holidays? 😂. I hope all is well with you and your peeps. Very clever indeed.

    This is awesome. I never know how I’m going to decorate my plane cut cookies and I LOVE this.

  17. GingerSnapSurprise

    Love it! You ought to crosspost this to r/Aviation too, I think they would get a kick out of it.

    I wish my Grandfather was alive, he would have loved these!!! Navigator for bombers in both European and Pacific theaters.

    I never knew the B-52s could bleed from the bullet holes. Those are meant to be bullet holes, right?

  20. Deceptiv_poops

    I love it. Clever as fuck my dude

    I guess that’s one way to bring up herpes to the kids. 

    By the way that penis looks a bit weird.  

  22. Chaos-Wayfarer

    Hahaha, Great idea! I knew exactly what it was. 😀

    Edit: spelling

  23. Nordgreataxe

    Love this. 😀

    Showed it to my husband, and once he stopped laughing, he started a spirited discussion about it with our history obsessed eldest.

    You should re-enforce where the red dots are.

  25. WildAphrodite

    Is this a survivorship bias cookie? Lmao

  26. quiet_summers

    At first I thought this was related to chives, but then I read the description🤣😂

  27. StrangelyEroticSoda

    I have to admit, my first thought was that you were teaching children that airplanes can get smallpox.

  28. GypsySnowflake

    And here I was thinking those should be green sprinkles to represent chives…
