Yes, c/memes, not c/OPisanidiot 🙄

Edit: actually, you just inspired me and reminded me of one Reddit community.

Thank you:

Just the two first words could be spicy though

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 3 points 1 year ago

Why did you give your emoji those eyes?

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 3 points 1 year ago

To emote my dismay. Closing both eyes and just sighing with the mouth open.

Some of the context and nuance got lost in translation from Chinese.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Yes, that's why it's on c/memes and not c/infuriating or something

In the 90s we also had a White Power Ranger. And the MTB brand White had a bike with WHITE POWER decals all over.

Don't worry, ktm has you covered for that still with their wp suspension that they sticker on all their motorcycles.

This is why sometimes brackets would be useful in language

People putting attributes of an article in the name is something I will never understand.

Search engine optimisation. People search for the attributes and so products that have attributes in the name will be more successful.
