Have people lost the ability to start a “thread” these days? Posts are so cryptic. A short one liner, a photograph, done.
This seems to be one of the new scourges of online communities.
Maybe I just dont get this one, and maybe its an AI troll, but its just one of many I see every day now.
If nothing else, having those three fuckers in one photo is an abomination.
We can do better people, give some context, invite some discussion.
I would be in favor of a group rule to prohibit meme macro posts. Even when I agree with them, I downvote them for degrading the quality of discourse.
Thankfully, I have seen very few in this group since I joined. I see much more good discussion and knowledgeable input. Still! Memes have overrun other good online spaces and driven their quality into the gutter, like some static image version of tiktok. That happened to a lot of reddit. That enshittifies them and drives away the very ppl who have the best insights and thoughts. Conversely, the online spaces that seem to hold their quality over time, cultivate a culture of quality discussion, banning or severely curtailing memes and ragebait.
In a place like this sure. Ironically though you don’t want to appeal to people who will have a discussion. Something like memes holds a thousands different meanings in the right context, and your brain picks up on that instantly.
The people who would never engage can get a distilled version of a 10 paragraph response from a meme, so when they do finally read a long opinionated article or comment, the memes they absorbed have already influenced them to a specific bias.
I believe we need more memes (NIMBY) on reddit, and to relentlessly make fun of our opposition to the point of it becoming a culture. The gamergate era Republicans are literally using the same exact arguments that they where trained to get triggered at 15 years ago. We need to be creating the equivalent of that.
this is clearly a meme ! , that you must’ve been living under a rock to not understand
Fair point. Life is good under this rock! 🤣 My efforts have not gone in vain!
I made this meme just now on my phone. Wasn’t sure which comm to post it that fits. If you don’t get it then maybe you aren’t paying attention?
So here’s a little context for you. All of these people don’t think you deserve privacy. All of these people participate in genocide and war crimes.
I’ll post it somewhere else then just for you

A community for memes would have been the obvious choice…
There’s no need to post it elsewhere just for me. It makes more sense with the bit of context and may appeal to more people with that context added.
I’m possibly not paying attention enough to have understood it. I try to avoid mainstream stuff as its so toxic and really doesnt add anything to my day, but possibly lots of other may be in the same boat.
Maybe YOURE an ai troll
Man, what a fun fucking shooting gallery that would be.
Is there a good quality open source FPS engine where one could easily make ajfk reloaded clone and swap the models out?
