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

The Pepsi thing happened during the Soviet Union. The pepsi co would barter with the Soviet Union to import pepsi. Normally they would exchange for vodka, but in one instance they took ownership of some ex Soviet naval assets which they then sold for scrap.

This is then spun up into a bullshit clickbait story about pepsi having the worlds third largest navy at one point.
