I’m annoyed by all those Facebook-type boomer comics you see on basically all meme subs. Reddit culture managed to get rid of them, but for some reason people here seem to love them

Look, sometimes people enjoy brainless humor and that's okay. People have hard days. Twelve hours in the field days. Sometimes people are tired and just want something easy and that's perfectly valid.

As the sages of old said, "It's okay to not like things. It's okay, but don't be a dick about it."

I know, I don’t really care, I’m just replying to the thread :)

It’s annoying but also interesting to see that people upvote different things

[–] Zeth0s@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Any example? Out of curiosity

[–] tahoe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This would be the last one I saw. I probably have plenty more examples in my downvotes, but I don’t think they’re accessible on Lemmy :(

its an old style comic that was used mostly for political cartoons back in the day but now they're just memes. There was a sub reddit for them specifically.

Kids don’t like anything that doesn’t have foul language, sexual innuendos, or involves subtly.

That said, while I liked the comic linked, it had no business being posted in a meme community.

Sincerely, A boomer

I’ve never heard such a boomer thing to say lmao

Anyway, the main thing I dislike about it is the art style. The jokes can be funny sometimes but they usually aren’t really jokes to me

[–] timespace@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That was the joke…

Thanks, now I get what you mean
