So … IOW, begging people to please stop killing each other for 48 hours is a stupid strategy too?

Yep. Did you also initially understand the metaphor the way I did, of "let's not make old people adapt"?

Related: "shot my wad" or "shot my load" is a reference to guns, not sex. Which I guess makes it more socially acceptable in the US, and less so in Europe :-p

I was the same way! When I first heard the phrase, I envisioned it as being a reference to being stuck in a deep ball pit. Fortunately I never though the expression was good enough to repeat myself!
Then again, I also thought the "grandfather clause" metaphor was "oh, grandpa's too old to adapt to the new ways, we'll let him keep using the old system", rather than "you can only vote if your white grandpa could".

Similar incident in the US when (now-)Justice Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court was referred to as "sloppy seconds" after the withdrawal of Harriet Miers.

Oh yeah it’s totally no big deal to take a body out of its coffin and bury it without. Just make sure to also pee on the body and turn it face down for final burial!

Were you trying to sound funny by putting that at the end?
