!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

I am yet to understand what "nobody" adds to a meme. Still don't get it.
-Nobody thinks this way
-Someone that thinks that way
What client are you using?
The screenshot was taken on just default quokk.au in a browser, though I'm typing this in Boost.
we should estimate ourselves lucky, at least, that the
era is over
And now your reference to it will resurrect the meme like a Phoenix from the ashes.
Nobody: cRazi_man: I am yet to understand what "nobody" adds to a meme. Still don't get it.
The way I understand it, it's a play on "Nobody asked" using Colon denoted dialogue
Nobody: [insert question]
[subject of meme]: [answer to question]
And has become increasingly esoteric through extended use
When used properly it makes sense. But there are only rare occasions when that is appropriate. So instead everyone just uses it all the time and so no one really understands when it should be used. Dumb.
The original meme got mangled beyond recognition and into making no sense
The original was used as quote attribution
Like:
"I am a huge fan of EA"
-- nobody
To continue this logic, if "nobody" says nothing it could be construed as the start of the conversation, implying the subject came to the conclusion without prompting or context
Its prefacing the answer to an unsolicited question.
it's boilerplate
