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

道 可 道 非 常 道

The Boulevard you can walk is very Boulevard

名 可 名 非 常 名

The name that is namey is very namey

無 名 天 地 之 始

The land without the name is the beginning

有 名 萬 物 之 母

Everything famous is a mother

the path that can be spoken of is not the true path.

the name that can be named is not the true name.

that which is without name is the beginning of all things.

that which has a name is the mother of everything.

That just sounds like nonsense I like my translation

I'm going to assume this is what conversations between Chinese classicists in conferences look like.
