whoa
hey itâs been like two years how is everyone
i own a house now
I'm leaving
Not in a good place rn so, bailing for a bit, be back eventually probably
I love the power of friendship osmosis.
âI donât really know much about this thing, but my friend likes this thing. So by the transitive property, I like this thing and feel defensive over this thing on behalf of my friend. And if I see this thing while out with other friends, I will excitedly point it out and announce that it is the thing my first friend likes. I will also feel happy when I see it, as it reminds me of my friend, and time permitting, I will take pictures of it to show my friend later.â
This made me think of @witchelny â€ïž
AHHHHHH
I don't know what to do anymore? Like there isn't anyone on literally any of my social media sites that talks to me? Even my rl friends' group chat is dead? Nobody responds to me at all? Where is everyone? I feel like I'm leaving in some weird alt dimension where my house and my job are the only places that exist and everything else is filler scenery
im in love with both daisy ridley & joe keery and that, my friends, is #biculture
midnight snack
i love my mother dearly but ability-wise she frightens me bc not only can she find 20 four leaf clovers within the span of like 2 minutes, everywhere, she can also write her name w/ both hands on a dry erase board or w/e at the exact same time and have both be a mirror image of one another
to add to this: i was making breakfast this morning and i hear âhey milo! look who came to say hello!â and, expecting like, a moth or a frog or something of that nature, i turn and sheâs holding a snake
Yer maâs a witch. Be nice to her
nem sirok csak 65ezren belementek a szemembe
A crowd of 65,000 sings âBohemian Rhapsodyâ perfectly while waiting for a Green Day concert
THIS. IS. PERFECTION.
@catwinchester
Amazing!Â
1. how the fuck did Green Day follow that
2. you know, we have fun here, with the word âmeme,â but according to meme theory, which is an actual thing pioneered by reptilian human impersonator Richard Dawkins in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, most of what we call memes are very unsuccessful memes. A meme, in the scientific sense - if one is generously disposed to consider memetics a science on any particular day - is an idea that acts like a gene. That is, it seeks to replicate itself, as many times as possible, and as faithfully as possible.
That second part is important. A gene which is not faithful in its replication mutates, sometimes rapidly, sometimes wildly. The result might be cancer or a virus or (very very very rarely) a viable evolutionary step forward, but whatever the case, it is no longer the original gene. That gene no longer exists. It could not successfully reproduce itself.
The memes we pass around on the internet are, in general, very short lived and rapidly mutating. Itâs rare for any meme to survive for more than a year: in almost all cases, they appear, spread rapidly, spawn a thousand short-lived variations, and then are swiftly forgotten. Theyâre not funny anymore, or interesting anymore. They no longer serve any function, and so theyâre left behind, a mental evolutionary dead end.
This rendition of Freddie Mercuryâs immortal opera Bohemian Rhapsody is about the most goddamned amazing demonstration of a successful meme Iâve ever seen. This song is 42 years old, as of 2017. FORTY TWO YEARS OLD. And it has spread SO far, and replicated itself across the minds of millions of people SO faithfully, that a gathering of 65,000 more or less random people, with nothing in common except that they all really like it when Billie Joe Armstrong does the thing with the guitar, can reproduce it perfectly. IN PERFECT TIME. THEY KNOW THE EXACT LENGTH OF EVERY BRIDGE. THEY EVEN GET THE NONSENSE WORDS RIGHT. THEY DIVIDE THEMSELVES UP IN ORDER TO SING THE COUNTER-CHORUS.Â
âYeah, Pyrrhic, lots of people know this song.â
Listen, you glassy-eyed ninny: our speciesâ ability to coherently pass along not just genetic information, but memetic information as well, is the reason weâre the dominant species on this planet. Language is a meme. Civilization is a collection of memes. Lots of animals can learn, but we may be the only animal that latches onto ephemera - information that doesnât reflect any concrete reality, information with little to no immediate practical application - and then joyfully, willfully, unrelentingly repeats it and teaches it to others. Look at how wild this crowd is, because theyâre singing the same song! It doesnât DO anything. Itâs not even why they showed up here today! If you sent out a letter to those same 65,000 people that said, âPlease show up in this field on this day in order to sing Bohemian Rhapsody,â very few of them would have showed up. But I would be surprised to meet a single person in that crowd who joined in the singing who doesnât remember this moment as the most amazing part of a concert they paid hundreds of dollars to see.
And theyâre just sharing an idea. Itâs stunning and ridiculous. Something about how our brains work make us go, âHey!! Hey everybody!! I found this idea! Itâs good! I like it! Iâm going to repeat it! Do you know it too?? Repeat it with me! Letâs get EVERYBODY to know it and repeat it and then we can all have it together at the same time! Itâs a good idea! Iâm so excited to repeat it exactly the way I heard it, as loudly as I can, as often as possible!!â
This is how culture happens! This is how countries happen! Sometimes a persistent, infectious idea - a meme - can be dangerous or dark. But our human delight at clutching up good memes like magpies and flapping back to our flock to yell about them to everyone we know is why we as a species bothered to start doing things like âtelling storiesâ and âwriting stuff down.â
âThatâs a lot of spilled ink for a Queen song, Pyrrhic.â
Man I just fucking love people.
@transformidable for the commentary on this version
tfw you start amassing meme power in 1971 by stealing a name from the god of thieves and almost half a century later youâre a meme god stealing entire concerts

Angsty Romantic Cliches Iâm a Slut ForÂ
Holding their partnerâs unconscious/dead body
Sobbing into their partnerâs shoulder/chest
One of them is hurt and the other falls asleep in their hospital room
The other losing their mind when their partner is hurt/killed and charging into battle recklessly
âI thought I lost youâ hugs
âDonât go where I canât follow!âÂ
One is mind controlled and forced to fight the other
The other refusing to harm them and getting seriously injured as consequenceÂ
The person coming to and seeing what theyâve done
I could go on about this trope alone for 5 hours
A last desperate âI love you!âÂ
A tearful, hard kiss before battle, bonus points if its a confessional kiss
âPlease, I donât know what Iâd do without you.âÂ
Bandaging each otherâs wounds
Both of them injured, and waking up beside each other
@turings
anybody else starved for attention but you're still an introvert so you spend all month desperate for attention and then when you finally get to hang with your friends you go even if you're exhausted & feel like you're gonna jump out of your skin bc you don't know the next time everybody's schedule will align
I tried painting my Kenku ranger Ruffle all on a single layer. This was done on stream.

Im glad Thor Ragnarok is successful but the movie makes me deathly afraid because the sheer possibility that its gonna revive the 2012-2013 tumblr-hiddleson obsession fills me with a fear that canât be explained and i dont think im strong enough to survive that again
this is by far the best addition to this postÂ
