You laugh, but this hits very close to home when your crush starts a conversation about linux distros for programming her model trains and then you vent about it and your gal pal enters the chat to say that she plans installing a dual boot system and which distro she should use for that and then your ex tells you about that vintage French computer she bought that's somehow linked to transfem culture deep lore. Like, i'm specifically dating the arts and humanities nerds to avoid this kind of stuff because i understand nothing about it and it still keeps happening.

And there's the Hamas Base Steamed Hams one, that I don't have saved. And the one saying y'all will do communism without me. And the one calling me a liberal.

I will not stand for this slander of our community! Some of it is only half-true!

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 23 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

People say shit like "just ssh the root config distro"

Yeah, it's true. We say that shit so much, like any chance we get. All the time.

"the only women here are trans women" not true! some of us are trans men feminism

I think my favorite ones are when I can't tell if it's some actual complaining about us or one of us mocking their complaints

"The only women here are women" is a wild take but ok bridget-pride-stay-mad

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 13 points 4 hours ago

Wamen, am I right?

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 25 points 6 hours ago

Oof yeah our haters are always the nicest people hmm? Actually I might put a transphobia warning on this post because yeah it's oof.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 26 points 6 hours ago

I always want to reply to the taglines

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 30 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Mods??? MODS?! They're making fun of me again for using my latin phrasebook in an argument :( you have to track them down and kill them!!!

i got this one some days ago for the first time, it was pretty funny

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 2 points 36 minutes ago

regimus

spoilerI've hyperfocused and done a week of self lead Latin lessons 😅

"just ssh the root distro" - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 54 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

ngl I'm a little out of it and glossed over "but the users are so awful" the first time I read it and was just like "hell yeah" erm-this-you

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 37 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That's why it's funny, they make us sound so much cooler than we actually are

[–] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 22 points 6 hours ago

I've literally seen this tagline before and up until just now I thought it was someone genuinely expounding about how rad Hexbear is lmao

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 20 points 6 hours ago

i felt the need to comment for no other reason than this gave me a chuckle.

[–] un_mask_me@hexbear.net 47 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I do this too, here's the most recent in my screenshots

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 35 points 7 hours ago

Another particularly enjoyable one is the Hamas paraglider flying towards the Triforce or Angular Merkels angular-merkel

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 26 points 7 hours ago

Never seen this lmao

Forgetting the #1 rule of jokes

If you don't understand it just laugh anyway

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 17 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

People just expect to walk into a community and instantly understand everything huh? I mean... they could just shut up and hang out for a while and I'm sure they'd pick up our dumb ass in jokes, but no it's always "I'vE BeEn HeRe fIVe SeConDs wHy iS eVerYoNe SaYinG UsInG PiG EmOtEs?!"

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 5 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

remember we used to say "lurk more" and tie onions to our belts?

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 2 points 22 minutes ago

It was the style at the time

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 3 points 32 minutes ago

Realising 'read theory' has the same vibe as 'lurk moar' lol

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 10 points 4 hours ago

the best jokes are funny even when you don't understand the context

monkey sees joke-shaped communication -> neuron activation
