Don’t quote the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written.

I take issue with the first description of the first one. It is an evolution from what was courage wolf. Courage wolf was a meme template where the top line set up the situation and the bottom showed how you courageously did something in response.

People then took it to the next level with insanity wolf, the one depicted here. The top line is the same, setting up some kind of situation. But the bottom line changed to doing something absolutely insane that no person would ever ever do in real life.

The 8th one, with the lady crying, is definitely wrong. It was a first-world problems, something people wirh comfy lives would complain that are not a real problem.

That's basically what it says, just worded differently.

"Third" should be "first". I think its a slip of the keyboard.

A time when memes were fun and goofy. Now it's all smug-looking wojaks. Can't we all agree to go back to those days?

[–] TheLobotomist 14 points 2 years ago

We already have

Eh, we had ragefaces before we shifted to those image captions. And we also had demotivational posters before the ragefaces

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

whoa - good bot!

[–] Caboose12000 4 points 2 years ago
[–] JackOfNoTrades 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

For some reason the link posted by Ghostalmedia worked for me but the link posted by the bot didn't. Can anyone explain why? Is it just because I'm on the lemmy.world instance?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If the bot link doesn't work it's more likely a client issue I would assume (the app or browser you're using)

Anyone remember foul bachelor frog?

[–] majere 6 points 2 years ago

History became legend.

Legend became myth.

And for two and a half thousand years, Foul Bachelor Frog passed out of all knowledge.

Real Confession Bear memes were my favorite

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't know why exactly but Good Guy Greg always cracked me up.

Maybe it's because I'm an asshole. Still waiting to see one of those memes pop up.

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

I was more a Shitbag Steve connoisseur (I can't remember the real name so please no Crucifixion!)

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

I think it was scumbag steve, to be precise.

I remember when someone confessed to a murder with one, and after that couldn't be topped it started to fade away

Far too many people are using confession bear to gather sympathy for non-confessions

"My boss told me to kill 52 orphans and yell racial slurs at black people but I told him to fuck off, even though you shouldn't swear. (Now please go ahead and tell me how good of a person I actually am)"

[–] AzPsycho 3 points 2 years ago

Like I said. "Real" Confession Bear memes.

I know it's about following convention, and most of these make sense between the image and the caption, but the duck is just a duck, and there's no reason it can't be used for anything else

You don't seem to understand what a meme is, the whole point is that we're using certain images for certain situations - like a shortcut that helps you get to the joke quicker.
