Welcome to 2meirl4meirl
Memes that are too dark for most. Post responsibly, cry collectively.
Rule 1: Respect the Community
If you’re not into self-deprecating, dark, or suicidal humor, this isn’t the place for you. Kindly block and move on. This is just how some of us cope
Rule 2: Respect One Another
We’re here to laugh through the pain, not to make it worse.
- No harassment
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Don’t be malicious
Rule 3: Title Requirement
All post titles must be 2meirl4meirl.
- Makes posting lazy and easy
- Lets people who don’t want this humor avoid it
Rule 4: No Forbidden Formats
The usual stuff applies:
- No spam
- No illegal content
- No porn or explicit content
- NSFW content must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, please report it.

If anyone is promoting decontextualized facts, it's those claiming midevial peasants only worked X days (with the implication being they had way more leisure time than modern workers). Not only is that claim contested, it does not account for unpaid work, and it only started being true at all after the black death, when economic activity ground to a halt and there were huge labor imbalances. It was not a good time to be alive.
The argument isn't that it was a good time to be alive. The argument is that they did it and with no tools no modern machinery no fossil fuels no electricity they still had a world and food and shelter.
