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

This sounds like the kind of bug you'd get in a physics-based game

It sounds like the kind of thing that would be intended in noita

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

With today's oil prices? Not likely berdly-smug

That's how we get the oil out of the Gulf! We'll cover the troops in oil and wait for rain. 🤓

Invade Italy and seize the olives.

Just like the helium in a balloon has to offset the weight of the balloon material, the "oil in the rain" trick only works if you cover yourself in enough oil to lift your own weight. Common mistake

what year is it?

like this isn't an ancient image but I can't imagine it's less than 10 years old

[–] NewOldGuard@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

I think I saw this on 9gag in 2010

This feels like a rage comic that was made before R*ddit knew what rage comics were. It's probably at least 15 years old.

Troll science has been around since like 2008, it was originally a non-r*ddit meme but didn't gain traction until the 2010s when it was reposted there. Some of the earliest comics are almost 20 years old.

If I remember correctly this got really popular around 2020 actually.
