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

Don't know if this is a reference but it reminds me of the dunk tank post about the Nazi dude being asked what he would do if he was born Haitian

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Think it's referencing that. But yeah, conservative who thinks they're a genius but is literally incapable of considering a hypothetical is like a whole genre.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago

I hope it's referencing something like that. Because otherwise, it would sound really reactionary in itself.

[–] Speaker@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Pedantically, this is a counterfactual. A hypothetical is an imagined future flowing from a given present, but a counterfactual is an imagined future flowing from an imagined past. 🤓

Fuck counterfactuals. Fuck calling them hypotheticals.

breakfast was invented by Kellogg cereal company

[–] Weedian@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There was breakfast before Kelloggs, it was just making people too horny

In the 13th century, breakfast when eaten sometimes consisted of a piece of rye bread and a bit of cheese. Morning meals would not include any meat, and would likely include 0.4 imperial gallons (1.8 L) of low alcohol-content beers. Uncertain quantities of bread and ale could have been consumed in between meals.

Reject modernity, return to tradition

Small beer, local cheese, and fresh bread. Throw some beans in there and I'm on board

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

Sounds like the breakfast of champions to me.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 12 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I am kinda shit without a decent breakfast in me.

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

I can skip breakfast, but I can't skip coffee, and if I have coffee without breakfast I will probably get a tummy ache by lunch so

yeah

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

sometimes a little coffee is all i need for the first few hours tho meow-coffee

[–] copandballtorture@hexbear.net 5 points 9 months ago

Maybe a sweet pastry to go with the coffee

[–] booty@hexbear.net 9 points 9 months ago

Fuck breakfast honestly. Pointless work, pointless meal. Last thing I wanna do when I get up is stand around cooking some fuckin pancakes or whatever. I'll eat when I'm actually hungry not when Big Breakfast has trained me to eat

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

Just say no to modal metaphysics nyet

[–] absolutefuckinidiot@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 9 months ago

A black coffee, a cigarette and an adderall counts as breakfast right
