Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

Ea Nasir is the most well known copper merchant today alive or dead. More Jpegs were posted about him than ever saw the original clay tablet. Hell this post might have more upvotes.

And the writer of the complaint was Nanni

Couldn't fix the time machine .... guess I'll just start a religion then

What could go wrong? .... not like anyone will remember this in a thousand years

r/TwoSentenceHorror was always a good subreddit, but this might be one of the best I've seen. as far as memes go, this one is esoteric.

Can someone explain for my friend who doesn't get it?

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Same, though I found about Ea nasir and complaint from Nanni about substandard copper, which became an Internet meme.

But I still don't find it funny. I suppose maybe the joke was to remind about that meme without wiring directly about it? Still lame.

I think a lot of memes that are based on references are basically just "I understand that reference".

I didn't find it funny the first time. But now that you know, the next time you find it in the wild, you might chuckle

Doctor Who's TARDIS broke down at the time this infamously happened, a historical fact that blew up all over the net some years back.

I'm not surprised, because people here keep posting memes about the guy. I never went out of my way to learn about it, but still know it...

[–] ZeroGravitas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

Bravo, sir, well done.

Honestly, if you can access enough, you don't need good quality copper. Just adjust your gauge to the current requirements accordingly.
