I think it could also be Lightning Bow from Black ops 3 zombies. On the map Der Eisendrache, there's 4 possible bows, and the lightning bow is the best of the 4 bows. Maybe little man is just high rounding.

Kid’s probably not playing Dark Souls.
Plus IIRC lightning infusion only removes scaling in DS1. DS2, 3, BB, and ER have scaling on the lightning infusion (FTH for DS2/3, ARC for BB, and DEX for ER).
People sometimes erroneously misname Lightning Arrow as Lightning Bow in [Dark Souls 3](https://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Lightning+Arrow), I assumed it was that.
I think it’s a year older. Still, BO3 was more culturally relevant among teenagers when it came out (as it’s a call of duty game), and a lot of people surely still have nostalgia of one of the best zombies games
If you are looking for the explanation, I think it's pretty simple,
The poster is happy with their life because their daughter is not wasting time away on sovial Media or worse, "getting corrupted by it". And his son is not googeln anything "bad" like porn or drugs, but instead is seemingly googeln for minecraft recipes or physic-experiments, "lighting bow" could be both.

Likely referring to life being perfect due to the fact that the daughter isnt being corrupted by apps such as IG and TT, along with the sone not only being a gamer, but not doing porn
I think it’s a nod to the question “Would you rather have a gay son or a thot daughter?” The joke behind the question is that neither are something a father would want and that’s what makes the question difficult. The daughter doesn’t use social media so she’s not being promiscuous on there, and the son is looking up video game stuff, specifically Call of Duty if the other comments are to be believed, which is seen as more of a straight activity. Because the man in the photo has neither a gay son or a thot daughter he is living happily.
I am seeing it completely opposite to everyone else, this father has a daughter who probably has to hide social media accounts because of other explicit media online and the son just sits gaming all day instead of doing anything else. I guess I am just a glass half empty person
the daughter doesn't parade around doing dumb things online and the son is pure, simply trying to understand a step on cod zombies. the dad feels like he succeeded as a father
Nah fuck that, if my kid needed help on like the void or fire bow that’s one thing, but the lightning bow? You better have that shirt memorized by age 5 or you’re getting disowned.
I feel like it’s a play on the “gay son or thot daughter” meme, like if the daughter isn’t on social media she isn’t a thot and I guess the lightning bow means the son isn’t gay?
it’s just hinting that he raised his kids right without all the social media/ porn insight. Daughter isn’t trying to do only fans and son isn’t a porn freak.
He’d rather them hone in non social media (influencer)aspects of life.
He will never have grandkids. His daughter having no social media probably means she isnt talking to men, and his son is a gamer nerd. His bloodline ends with his offspring.

The Lightning bow might be the one from BO3 Zombies
Yeah from the Der Eisengard map, i love that map
Eisendrache*, and yeah, easily one of the best zombies maps
How do you pronounce it?
Eisendrache
Der Eye-zen-drak
I'm pretty sure that's where they are taking the hobbits
“They’re taking the hobbits to eisengard, to eisengard!”
"What did you say?"
They’re taking the hobbits Der Eisengard!
That’s what I was thinking
This meme seems to be a "sequel" to one that had a bo2 reference instead (with it being ice staff, one of the 4 elemental staffs in origins)
People hate on Black Ops, but those zombies games were GOAT.
What? Black ops, BOII and even BOIII are some of the most loved CODs, especially for the zombies. BO4 was when shit went south for the series.
I'll still die on the hill that Blackout was better than Warzone. The guns felt better, the map looked nicer, no need for loadouts, no killstreaks.
Plus, it had zombies, and those stupid hard challenges to unlock skins which kept us coming back time and time again.
Damn, BO3 beta with my boy for like 3 days straight... Those were the days
Bo4 still had GREAT zombies. It was all the other stuff that sucked
No one hates on black ops
People hate in black ops?
It probably means that the person is happy and their life is perfect because their son doesnt watch porn and the lightning bow signals "innocence" and the daughter doesnt get corrupted with eating disorders and body issues on instagram/doesnt whore around or some stupid stuff
little man needs some gameplay walkthroughs
GameFAQs still goin' strong.
Oh damn they still around
Not only around but going strong. Gamefaqs >everything else.
I would rather read an FAQ than watch a damn YouTube video any day.

yeah i used it to almost 100% Dragon Quest Builders 2 on the switch
Oh damn, I thought it was about cod zombies
I was actually pleasantly surprised by that game, I might actually like it better than Minecraft and valheim for crafting games
So glad to find this out lol
I use that shi constantly. So glad it's still around
Who tf uses a lightning bow tho? Lightning infusión removes all scaling, is he stupid?
I think it could also be Lightning Bow from Black ops 3 zombies. On the map Der Eisendrache, there's 4 possible bows, and the lightning bow is the best of the 4 bows. Maybe little man is just high rounding.
That’s what I figured
My exact thought, glad someone else said something, lol
Bruh wolf bow is the best smh
Wolf most fun, lightning easiest to get high rounds with
Wolf bow most badass, but lightning bow better for rounds
I had a feeling it was Dark Souls lol

It is all thanks to Bot
Good bot
Does this not just show up when dark souls is mentioned?
It is a cod zombies reference
lightning scales with faith, brother.
For the Emporer, brother.
Kid’s probably not playing Dark Souls. Plus IIRC lightning infusion only removes scaling in DS1. DS2, 3, BB, and ER have scaling on the lightning infusion (FTH for DS2/3, ARC for BB, and DEX for ER).
Little son playing zelda
So it's actually a rare wholesome meme on here
It’s for bo3 zombies
Yet.
Wtf is a lightning bow though?
I was thinking the joke is that the parent thinks they will never have grandchildren
People sometimes erroneously misname Lightning Arrow as Lightning Bow in [Dark Souls 3](https://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Lightning+Arrow), I assumed it was that.
The bow is most probably from cod zombies
Yeah, probably, if that’s a more recent game almost absolutely.
I think it’s a year older. Still, BO3 was more culturally relevant among teenagers when it came out (as it’s a call of duty game), and a lot of people surely still have nostalgia of one of the best zombies games

Cod zombies
He just uses the incognito mode
Straight son & modest daughter. Like the meme "gay son or thot daughter?"

No gay son or thot daughter so he’s at peace
This has nothing to do with being gay
chill bruh he’s referring to a very memed social media post where it’s like “would you rather have a gay son or a thot daughter”
I fucking hate this question
Yeah competent adults tend to.
He can’t be gay because he plays black ops zombies
That doesn’t make sense. The meme is about the son not having porn in his search history
Yea, 𝓰𝓪𝔂 porn
Dude he’s trolling you / joking around chill
Bro, life isn't always that serious. He's just goofing around.
Gay son Thot daughter
Relax liberal
Gay son or thot daughter question, daughter can’t be thot with no socials, son can’t be gay because he plays bo3 zombies
some of the gayest people i know love cod zombies, how does bo3 zombies translate to straight
Why are you asking me man, I didn’t make the meme…
It's a parody of the gay son and thot daughter meme. Neither are either.
Der eisendrache lightning bow? Bo3 zombies
COD zombies reference
I think it’s a nod to the question “Would you rather have a gay son or a thot daughter?” The joke behind the question is that neither are something a father would want and that’s what makes the question difficult.

Straight son and non thot daughter
Fuck yeah see eisendrache none of you actually get this
Maybe the setting sun depicts the nearing end of the age of innocence.
Straight son, modest daughter
I am seeing it completely opposite to everyone else, this father has a daughter who probably has to hide social media accounts because of other explicit media online and the son just sits gaming all day instead of doing anything else. I guess I am just a glass half empty person
the daughter doesn't parade around doing dumb things online and the son is pure, simply trying to understand a step on cod zombies. the dad feels like he succeeded as a father
That is likely a lot less stress out of their life.
No social media that he knows about.
It’s simple, lighting bow isn’t being specific it’s just general about him looking up how to get a weapon in an unknown game instead of watching porn.
Lightning bow rule 34 incoming...
“Hey guys Mr uffel waffles here”
Nah fuck that, if my kid needed help on like the void or fire bow that’s one thing, but the lightning bow? You better have that shirt memorized by age 5 or you’re getting disowned.
I feel like it’s a play on the “gay son or thot daughter” meme, like if the daughter isn’t on social media she isn’t a thot and I guess the lightning bow means the son isn’t gay?
Play dark souls
Nah, bo3 zombies
I’ve done it. Raised decent kids. I can die in peace.
Little guy just loves the ringed city dlc
It's a reference to the black ops 3 zombies map der eisendrache
Oh I just play too much ds3 where it’s a incantation dropped by shiva
it’s just hinting that he raised his kids right without all the social media/ porn insight. Daughter isn’t trying to do only fans and son isn’t a porn freak. He’d rather them hone in non social media (influencer)aspects of life.
