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

One time my workplace did an informal fun lil test of identifying every state in the US. More than one person was surprised Mexico was so close. Most people got around 10 states correct and left the rest blank.

Around ten people labeled states with the names of foreign countries, like I remember one person identified Hawaii as Japan, and one wrote "British" on Virginia. These were people with college degrees too. Americans are simply not great at geography.

Damn, I'm not even American and I feel like I could get at least 50% of the states labeled correctly

one wrote "British" on Virginia
