WE’VE HIT TERMINAL MEME

[bl00dlikeice]

@caesarianconfection

[fidefortitude-deactivated202011]

I’ve said “I hate this” so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, because “I hate this” is just shorthand for ‘this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasn’t expecting with intent to surprise’. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.

But this… This is something else.

The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.

For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?

[mommacomms]

….I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE

[pagesofkenna]

it is a YMCA reference - that’s one of the 6 memes being represented here

ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)

this first lyric replacement (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)

“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)

‘gun’ is… yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to “man door hand hook car door” for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)

and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)

which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)

(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think i’ve ever seen. the initial ‘young man’ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock meme ‘gun’ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)

[animatedamerican]

I wasn’t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkenna‘s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.

[captainlordauditor]

average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted

[japhers]

it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpg’s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000’s rage comics

[robynspreciousnest]

This is the most elaborate meme I have ever seen and damn am I concerned by how it makes sense.

[operahousebookworm]

“You’re in your 30s, but you still understand all this meme stuff?” “Oh yeah, sure.” “Can you explain it to me?” “I absolutely fucking cannot.”

[sword-and-nightingale]

One does not simply explain this

[sword-and-nightingale]

Edit:

Another freaking layer!!!

[catbxy]

In the future someone’s going to ask me to explain this and I’m going to be at a loss.jpg for words

[official-lucifers-child]

you just… understand this. you do not get to explain it, nor would you be able to explain it. you simply understand the meme in and of itself.

[norcross]

imagine the valuable information my brain could be holding on to instead of all of this historical meme knowledge.

[satanhaus-deactivated20220217]

yo does anyone else feel CONSTANTLY guilty? like you’ve always done something wrong but you don’t know what it is?

[why-am-i-even-on-here]

Yes, and I’ve spoken to my therapist about it, who offered an explanation:

She says that people who from a young age were made to feel like they kept doing things wrong - people who’s parents had impossibly high standards for them, people who were bullied, people who have special needs, people who didn’t develop crushes on the “right” people, people who didn’t act like the “right” gender - basically ended up being made to feel guilty so much that guilt became their default response to everything. Guilt became the emotional response to anything which the person didn’t already have a set emotion for.

People for whom guilt is the default emotional response are also more likely to have low self-esteem, doubt their own experiences, and experience impostor syndrome. So, watch out for that too guys

[thebluebitchh]

YES

[churchyardgrim]

I’ve noticed I keep trying to beat ppl who are mad at me to the punch

“please don’t hurt me, see, I’m already doing it for you”. like if I show enough guilt and contrition they’ll figure the punishment’s already been done.

a) it doesn’t work, and b) how fucked up is that yall

[avoiding-claws]

😬😬 me 😬😬

[chivalfairy]

its so sad that radfem just means transphobe and not like. this

[rubykgrant]

I have to double-check every blog name with “rad” or “radical”, and I HATE IT, because rad/radical were some of my favorite words! people who don’t respect trans men/women aren’t radical, they’re tragical!!!

[chivalfairy]

YOU ARE SO RIGHT HOMIE we gotta reclaim rad and radical as phrases only trans people can use forever now

There’s a huge misunderstanding among allosexual people about what demisexuality really is. You think it means they won’t have sex with someone unless they have an emotional bond and that that’s normal and the word isn’t needed. Guess what? That’s not what it is! Demisexuality is having the inability to feel sexually attracted to someone unless they have an emotional bond. Having sex has nothing to do with it. Allosexuals can feel sexual attraction for someone they have no emotional bond with. Doesn’t necessarily mean they would have sex with them, but the attraction is there. For demisexual people, that attraction is not there. It’s incapable of existing without that bond. There’s this huge misconception that asexuality and demisexuality has to do with sex and abstinence. It doesn’t. Asexual doesn’t mean abstinent. It means lacking sexual attraction. Demisexual doesn’t mean abstinent until close with someone. It means lacking sexual attraction until close with someone. That is why demisexuality is a valid label. Demisexuals do not experience attraction the same way allosexuals do.

hey my “adults put ur age in ur bio” is getting backlash so I just want to say that no one is telling you to put your real name, address, state, etc online. but if you interacting with a community that is mainly 13-17-year-olds and you are an adult, it really is important to be transparent about your age. like no kid should have to interact with you to find out your age if you are 21+

[lynati]

The age thing is going to give kids a *false sense of security*. That’s why we’re against it. Someone putting their age as seventeen does not MAKE THEM seventeen. The kind of people you are hoping to keep kids safe from are the very people who are going to lie about their age. Normalizing the view of, “Oh, their bio says they’re 17, so that means they are okay for me to talk to” is NOT a good thing for the community. And the community ISN’T mainly 13 - 17 year olds. 17-year-olds-and-younger make up about ~15%~ of Tumblr’s demographic. That’s why most of the ads you see are not things typically intended for children. And despite what younger fandom now thinks, it’s been that way from the start. Tumblr started out as a micro-blogging platform geared towards people who wanted to easily post photos and videos; it was created to particularly entice artists, photographers, and film-makers. Not children. Fandom just colonized this place, and since social media became A Thing, “Fandom” includes more people under 18 than ever before. You should be assuming that most people on this site are 21+ to begin with, and act accordingly. Assume anyone you might be interacting with is an adult. If you don’t see a posted age in their bio? That’s an adult. If you see a posted age and it’s under 21? Assume that could easily be a *lying* adult. STAY. SAFE. And if you’re NOT an adult, I’d recommend EVEN STRONGER that you do NOT put your age in your bio. That’s just flashing an arrow at yourself for the kind of people who you are most hoping to avoid. The kind of person who is *just going to lie about their age* in the first place when they go to strike up a “friendship” with you. DON’T. ENCOURAGE. ANYONE. TO. PUT. PERSONAL. INFORMATION. ON. SOCIAL. MEDIA. IT. CANNOT. BE. TRUSTED. IT. DOES. NOT. MAKE. *ANYONE.* SAFER.

miles: look I can fit my whole fist in my mouth

gwen: freaky flexing. but alright

miles:

miles, through his fist: I’m sorry what did you just say

[muchymozzarella]

ok but remember Peter B’s world is most like ours

 so both Miles and Gwen would have slightly off memes and distress him when he has a hard enough time remembering his own world’s memes

[brawltogethernow]

I WAS HOPING SOMEBODY WOULD POINT THIS OUT.

[brawltogethernow]

Miles: It’s “strange flex but cool beans.” Peter: Am I tripping on something? Is this a stroke, is this what a stroke feels like?

[dontworryimdis-arm-ed-deactivat]

Miles: *makes a mistake* This is distressing. Siri play Take on Me.

Gwen: you absolute heathen. It’s ‘This is tragic, google play All Star.’

We’re doing Postmodernism is Sociology, and the teacher was talking about ‘language games'— language that is so specialised that unless you’re part of a specific group it’s totally incomprehensible.

And, as an example, he gave us this monstrosity:

And, what’s even worse— I fucking UNDERSTOOD IT. I had to EXPLAIN this to my fucking sociology class.

This is why we should never have let the millenials become teachers.

[plain-flavoured-english]

Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.

If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.

If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.

Be the subject, not the object. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you.

[saxifraga-x-urbium]

Thank you this is the first post about self love that hasn’t made me want to throw things

[annerb-fic]

My favorite headcanon is Ron teaching Harry to shave with some sort of charm that all the boys are taught growing up by their dad’s. But of course Harry never got to have that, so when he’s like 13 and hair starts forming on his face, Ron being the sweetheart that he is offers to do it for him.

I LOVE this idea. I can see Ron helping him out and Seamus wandering into the bathroom and giving them shit and Ron being all “Piss off” and just continuing to carefully shave Harry’s face all the while sharing horror stories of all the crap his brothers tried to pull on him the last summer when he first started shaving. “Stop laughing, Harry, or I’m gonna accidentally charm off your whole sodding chin!”

[annerb-fic]

Omg and then Neville sidles in and is hovering because his dad couldn’t teach him either. And Ron finally noticing and doing some quick connections in his head and then just saying, “you next!”

[annerb-fic]

WAIT A MINUTE. Dean doesn’t have his (magical) dad around either. What are you doing to meeeeeee.

[annerb-fic]

Is Ron the only Gryffindor boy their year with a magical dad that is not dead, missing, or hospitalized? JKR WHY?!?

(Though it actually makes sense, considering when they were all born and what was happening. But STILL)

[selfeffacing-jokes]

And in that moment Ron instantly accepted the role of Gryffindor Dad

This is why Ron’s a prefect lol
