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 !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  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.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

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

That is majestic use of formatting. Genuinely incredible.

I didn't even notice it was Loss because of the world's oldest joke

The oldest "guy walks into a bar joke" is from Sumer, c. 1900 BC at youngest.

"A dog walked into a tavern and said, 'I can't see a thing. I'll open this one'."

Clearly we've lost the context of the joke that made it worth writing down, but it's fascinating that 4000 years later, we're still telling the same sorts of jokes that our ancient ancestors did.

Is this both loss and that sumerian dog joke? My brain is so broken by the internet to instantly recognize these. miyazaki-laugh
