This is how my wife views me i think

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 days ago

so uh this guy once ordered a pizza with no toppings but only beef on the left side and that's why I have a 40-year-old man's face on my shirt with a pizza background.

Honestly, things like that remind me how vast the internet is. There are some things that I think are just ubiquitous that my friend has never heard of before. She had never heard of Creepy Pastas. She had never seen Long Long Man. She didn't know what an SCP was. I was baffled. Made me think about my own digital world, and what sources I may be completely blind to.

I usually don't have a hard time explaining referencial humor when it's, like, an older movie that was super popular in my day to a younger person who hasn't seen it; but memes are often inexplicable unless you just know.

Example: ~~:.|:;~~

Ceiling cat haz contempt for your puny 7 years of historical warez. Leave Brittany alone with your shallow funnies.

Frosted butts

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

... Britney. Britney.

Christ, that meme's old enough to drop bombs on Yemen.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Ceiling cat encourages your masturbation to Britney.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

yeah...

especially if they don't know what a trans person is

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Who doesn't know what a trans person is?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You'd be surprised lol

One of the funniest that shows just how little people know is this, a conversation I heard from someone like a month ago: "[name] is nonbinary, she uses they/them pronouns right?"
for context this is a Gen z person, not even a retired grandma who doesn't go around queer people at all, there was a group of really fruity folk next to them about dieing for their whole conversation

Explaining loss humor is impossible

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago (5 children)

I still don't understand how it's funny

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Its not "haha!" funny, but rather "aha!" funny.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I think it's more for fun than funny. Like The Game or the 👌.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I think it ~~'s~~ (Edit: started out) more about how Tim Buckley is terrible than anything. (Edit: Then from there it) sort of collapsed into its own joke. No one really knows or cares about the context anymore, its become a self-contained meme with no real meaningful connection to Tim, the original comic, or its message now.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think it's more about how people on the internet are terrible than anything. It sort of collapsed.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think the joke is terrible people being terrible to terrible people when a genuinely terrible thing happens in their lives.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

As long as everyone is terrible, I'm in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

if only there were more staggeringly interesting queer women with red/green colorblindness who held this opinion.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 5 days ago (2 children)

So like, she had a miscarriage and is crying about it and her boyfriend makes it just in time to see the results and uh yeah it's the funniest thing ever why are you leaving

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago

No, wait, it gets better. Get this. Circle jerk about it for a couple of decades and it gets funnier, oh, OK, still going.
