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

I was in elementary. My grandma picked me up. for some reason my reaction was "doesn't that kinda thing happen all the time?" movies made it seem really normal lol

I was out of college and knew that it was big but didn't realize how huge it would become. The OKC bombing was just 6 years earlier, when I was in high school, and we weren't sent home early or offered any counseling or anything. It was just another news story. When 9/11 came around, I didn't realize just how much milk the people in charge saw in it.
