First it was the beans. Then it was the guy who couldn't poop. Now it's moths. What don't you understand?

My guess is: summer.

So this moth walks into a podiatrist's office...

2018

What's with the current resurgence?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Someone: MOTH

Everyone: I guess we doin moth now.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

It was a big long fad on reddit like a year ago. I guess it is just finally making it to lemmy

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Someone invested heavily in moths and lamp memes. Gotta unload the stale goods somewhere.

Don't worry about it. Just follow the light, let it guide you

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

It's just one guy posting all these shit

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I already blocked them, so I'm free of their shit posts

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Lampless.

I hope one day you see the light.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Good initiative though IMO.

What about cakes next?

Be the change you want to see in the world! I believe in you!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Guys I'm disappointed in y'all. the answer is stupid simple:

LAMP

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

In my experience it's more about nginx these days.

edit: s/now/more/

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

well done. I didn't even make that connection before, so now I'm going to have a hard time not seeing it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Don't worry, I have the same problem. Every day is a struggle, but I'm doing all right.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

Lemmy is behind the meme curve and still regularly posts stale old memes, like moth

[–] [email protected] 74 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You know, when it was beans or jeans or whatever that one guy was spamming like crazy, It stuck out like a sore thumb to me. I found it rather tiresome TBH. But with the moths, I just laughed. Perhaps I've seen the light?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 week ago (1 children)

A round of applause for the brother/sister who has now found the light!!!

The Moth Enlightenment Era has begun.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

It’s kind of creeping me out :(

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

If there's one thing sites like this are good at, it's flogging a joke to death, sometimes to the point where it becomes funny again. Not quite there yet. ;)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Bean there done that

A moth goes into a podiatrist’s office, and the podiatrist’s office says, “What seems to be the problem, moth?”

The moth says “What’s the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Illinivich, and all day long I work. Honestly doc, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know if Gregory Illinivich knows. He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness. But I don’t know, I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there… at night I…I sometimes wake up and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm. A lady that I once loved, doc. I don’t know where to turn to. My youngest, Alexendria, she fell in the…in the cold of last year. The cold took her down, as it did many of us. And my other boy, and this is the hardest pill to swallow, doc. My other boy, Gregarro Ivinalititavitch… I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes, all I see is the same cowardice that I… that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only I wasn’t such a coward, then perhaps…perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all…Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I’m a moth, just barely hanging on to my web with an everlasting fire underneath me. I’m not feeling good. And so the doctor says, “Moth, man, you’re troubled. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come here?”

And the moth says, “‘Cause the light was on."

Of all the Ottawans to make it in entertainment, Norm's my favourite hands-down.

Its Jean Jacques Rousseau for me.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

It's throwing me off that there's the Jean Jacques Rousseau, philosopher in Europe, as well as a Jean Jacques Rousseau, philosopher who at various points was in, and is perhaps from, Ottawa.

I could just be missing something, but might you be thinking of Jacques du Gatineau, the great hope of Témiscaming, Quebec?

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

Same guy actually. Changed his name

Wait 'til you hear him tell it.

I've probably watched that video from Conan O'Brien 100 times and it never fails to make me laugh every time. His delivery is just perfect.snd Conan's reaction is priceless.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

Same here. The dolphin joke is pretty good, too.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

the answer can be found by pondering your orb while eating beans and wearing jeans

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

I like to think it is a sign that Silksong is coming out soon.
