  • Most of the memes come from communities where the typical user is way too comfortable with things like photoshop, so they can crank out a gag before it suddenly seems like a waste of time. Even the “slapped together” looking stuff takes longer than you think. This skill set - funny but also has casual graphic design skills - is narrow enough that even their throwaway jokes tend to get passed around and around and around for years.

    This community is more, uh, engineering focused, so they’re doing pretty good to find reasonably funny people to screenshot. For what it’s worth, I agree with you, but the internet always has some tiresome gotcha post to shut you down with, lest you set any boundaries for yourself, so everyone’s stuck with whatever people feel like calling a meme.




  • For the record, on Windows 10, I’m using 9GB (rounded up from 8.something) to run Firefox and look at this website, can’t forget Discord inviting itself to my party in the background, and the OS. I had to close tabs to get down here. Streams really eat the RAM up.

    Throw a game in there, with FF open for advice and Discord running for all the usual gaming reasons, and yeah, way over.

    Notice I haven’t even touched any productivity stuff that demands more.

    8? Eat a penis, Apple. Fuckin clown hardware.




  • Right when we literally need to chill, they keep inventing nonsense that is somehow worse. Crypto is literally just machines wasting energy on purpose to create false scarcity, it was already a worst case scenario for truly pointless excess emissions but by god, they managed to top it, this place is going to be a raisin with dead oceans.

    Of course, anyone who does anything less than suck the dick of this AI is a reactionary ignorant peasant, at least with crypto everyone agreed it was lame, now we’re back to the iPhone fuck-you-only-change-allowed-keep-up-granny bullshit that lead to everyone but you knowing everything about you, so they can exploit and even criminalize the behavior your phone tells them about. Never the change we need, though. Just whatever makes your stupid line go up.

    I guess. Glad I’m not having kids. That’s the only fucking downward pressure on future emissions that’s happening, on any meaningful scale. I can’t wait to see what sort of shitty boilerplate copy and fake fucking pictures makes all this CO2 worthwhile. I’m sure the problem is me, and my Luddite, unseasoned irrational fear.






  • I was following the shitpost tag on Tumblr for a while since it seemed to be good for a meme or two, but guess who decided to move their asses into that tag like a house when they ditched Reddit? So now I know what to post, but whoever is modding here had better not shoot the messenger cause they ain’t fukin around about a joke. Hello am adorable waifu but surprise! I throw baby down stair, type thing
