I hate this meme. Someone says "think about what you are doing prideful fool". And the other person still decides to use lethal force. That is diabolical, not funny.
While this death may be the first confirmed from a trebuchet,
is that really the first death by a trebuchet? Plus, I'd say
catapults are almost identical to a trebuchet in workings, for
the most part. I don't quite believe that this was really the
first death by catapult.
That strikes me as a wildly incorrect interpretation of the situation in the meme.
My reading is closer to a man on a parapet shouting "neener neener you can't touch me" moments before being touched by a rock at high velocity
That seems like a contradiction.
We can rule out Warwolf [1] my favorite trebuchet, which never killed anyone.
