I am seeing a lot of memes with the outline of a man lying on the ground with references to Saddam Hussein. Can somebody tell me what is going on?

Something to do with 9/11 and a diagram of Sadam Hussain's hiding place the US military released after he was killed.

Someone just discovered the Saddam Hussein meme and decided to flood lemmy with as many as they could repost

A dangerous enemy of American ideals is dead.

It was all over the news.

It's been on a low boil for a while now. Think of it a bit like a Rick Roll or that one joke a stand-up comic repeatedly comes back to during their set. If it happens a lot it can stop being funny to the point of annoyance, but then there's a spike in it being funny again if the frequency keeps up, or there's an especially clever or unexpected iteration of it.

Something something running a joke into the ground something something hahaha, etc.

Until all that's left of the joke is bricks and rubble
