dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I found it hilarious when I saw pics of users saying they thought USians working 2 jobs just to stay alive was CPC propaganda, lmao

I have had multiple DM convos with Chinese netizens who are like wait holy shit its that bad? Then we will go back and forth talking about how its capitalisms fault and having extremely based conversations. Its SO refreshing to chat with them. Outside of lemmy its so rare to talk to someone as based as they are.

Really makes me want to make an account, but I have been trying to be less internet addicted this year kitty-cri-texas

[–] Xiisadaddy@lemmygrad.ml 32 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Lol ya i get that struggle. What i would recommend if you really want to make one is do so, and then every 10 minutes you spend on it you must take a break and exercise. Moderation is key.

Moderation.

What obscure language did you steal this word from and what is its meaning?

[–] Wolfman86@hexbear.net 18 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I think you need a drink with it…

izutsumi-idea I think you're right!

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Thanks! Might have to do that (and stay off of Lemmy.ml for a while, I'm overdue for a break from there).

Coincides with my 1 week enforced "vacation" from asklemmy@lemmy.world for calling out transphobia "aggressively."

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

Eh, what can you do, if moderators care more about aggression towards transphobia than taking a hardline stance against transphobia, then there's not much that can be done to help.

[–] krolden@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

They permabanned me a while back for being racist

Go figure

If the poster in front of you falls/takes a break, pick up their keyboard and keep posting!

Wait until they find out there are Americans working three jobs and/or gig work 🙃

The older I get, the more that clip angers me. That said, the older I get, the more I enjoy this clip. Though, it would have been even better if he'd nailed him square in the head.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

What the fuck?! And people clapped at that too?! I don't know why I'm continuously surprised at the depravity of the American empire, you'd think one would stop finding such clips surprising after some point and yet...

They have gig work in China too (delivery apps usually). But the difference is, the government in China actually has made the push in recent years to get the companies to treat their workers as workers, and be humane, unlike our Western apps.

seen some of these american rednote users getting mad condescending behind their backs

"wow it must be illegal for them to look up other time zones and i'm their only way of possibly knowing 🥹"

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 18 points 2 weeks ago

If I'm honest, RedNote is fine. I guess I've already recognized how deeply fucked the US is in comparison to other countries with international travel I was blessed enough to be able to do. I've been saying it's a mentally ill society. My first talking point is always how much cheaper and healthier food is abroad. There was a guy who was talking about corn being 1/5 the price in China and instead of having my mind blown it's more like "yeah, that makes sense." On top of that, I already thought China is... le good! So while I really like that other people are waking up to the disparity, I don't actually like using the app that much personally.
