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

I've been in that cafe, can confirm it is still as joyfully miserable as it was in the good old days.

I’m so used to modern images that at first glance I assumed the lady was looking at a cell phone.

the impulse to look down at something in our hands has been in human DNA this whole time, phones were just invented to fill the need theory-gary

Back in the 90's when I was a kid I used to carry a book with me everywhere specifically to avoid just sitting there being bored

Martin Parr's photographs are great. A great documentarian of the gammons

Highly recommend looking through the selections from his books, they are very funny: https://martinparr.com/books/
