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.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

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

imagine a group of people lead by a guy who dropped out of middle school who are collectively afraid he’s so smart and logical that his ideas are going to lead to the creation of a time-untethered computer who will torture other people in the past that didn’t help build it (unclear whether they want this to happen)

gross simplification of the utterly baffling circle that is Eliezer Yudkowsky and his sycophants but it’s all you really need to know to get the essence of it
