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

Actually, all of HexBear is a complex experimental novel I'm writing

You guys all making your little jokes and your japes and yukking it up

I have done this by accident and it's NOT A JOKE, the memory of having to stammer "ahah s-sorry I forgot nobody's read that haha" when I reference something I wrote without thinking has made me lose nights of sleep. I wanted to walk off a cliff when it happened

(Don't worry I survived)

Lying in bed unable to sleep because I am haunted by that cringe thing I did 15 years ago.

I remember going on /lit/ out of some curiosity. Every page was the same, just reposts on either Ayn Rand, Murakami, or James Joyce. What I'm saying is it felt like these dudes read the assigned literature for the freshmen year of college and felt deep, despite likely not reading much more than your average Harry Potter lib.
