People of the internet, show me your favourite meme

@babe

I've realised we've reached this point where there is such an enormous amount of silly little images, that I've had so many favourites I can't even pinpoint any of them. Which has me thinking there are probably some bangers out there I have simply not seen, so would like to see what tickles your brains

@babe I'm a fan of the "mind blowing enlightenment" thing, but mostly when it gets as inane or dumb as possible

@babe

@babe This one is so dumb and so great.

@babe this one always gets me

@babe honorable mention

@babe Probably this one.

@babe

edit: thank you everyone for ackshuallying a shitpost, your replies are extremely necessary and I'm very impressed by what a bunch of super smart cool boys y'all are

@babe

@babe

@babe couldn't decide between these four

@babe The classic owl drawing meme

@sconlan @babe the phrase "draw the rest of the fucking owl" has absolutely entered my regular vocabulary, it's so useful. Like at work, it's "how can we split up this big ticket?" / "Well I guess we could split it into 'make the basic ui' and 'draw the rest of the fucking owl'"

@babe

@babe On a similar note:

@andrewt @sconlan @babe

Quite

@pikesley @sconlan @babe Exactly! How did boomers ever communicate?

@babe @loren

@gsuberland @babe That fourth one is the clear winner here

@babe this one always cracks me up for some reason 🤣

@babe

@babe This is ancient but

@babe

This one seemed very relatable.

🙂

@Sir_Osis_of_Liver @babe

I liked this cat one

@babe Mortified Shark

@babe oldies but they make me laugh

@babe

@babe

@babe

@babe nothing but respect for my president

@babe I like all the mainstream generic ones (hide the pain harold, angry goose, i bet he's thinking of other women etc) the most, because they're so great to adapt.

Fav single use meme is ⬇️

@babe

@babe

@babe

@babe I'm not sure if this one counts as a meme, strictly speaking.

@babe This one, because a significant percentage of furries I know have gotten personalized versions

@babe

@babe This one kills me every time.

@babe I always laugh.

I stitched this one together a long time ago and still get a considerable amount of usage out of it/see it in the wild occasionally. The world's smallest violin

@babe heee

@babe so many good ones, but this one always makes me giggle

@babe

@babe My favourite one of the moment

@thomholwerda the stretch on the second part is 💯

@yogthos @babe

After 13th century we did have a backlash to the dark times that only stopped around 17-18th. The right-wing extremists wants back to that situation.

@cjwatson @babe I am one of those fish

@babe

@babe

@babe Didn't even have a copy of it handy, just found it by searching for "cat meme chicken cloud locks personal ad" Thank you Reddit.

@babe I've never quite recovered from this one

@thecorodon @babe when we were 10 in pretty sure none of ours friends had internet? like who gives dialup to a 10 year old? data was expensive and you'd never be able to use your phone 😂

@elexia @thecorodon @babe

I got access to the Internet when I was 12 or 13, I think. Initially with an old 2400bps MODEM but I got a newer one for Christmas. We got a second phone line put in. Unfortunately that cut the bandwidth of the line in half so I couldn’t connect at more than 26.4bps. I swapped my 56k internal winmodem with a friend who had an external 33kbps one because the winmodem ate too much CPU and I couldn’t use the extra speed.

It took several seconds to load a page. I remember learning web design with the 10-10-10 rule. A page should load in 10 seconds, be viewable in a 10” window, and have no more than 10 something I’ve forgotten.

It cost about 1p/minute to dial up, so I rationed the time. Often I’d go online, open a load of pages, disconnect and read them.

When I went to university and the university machines could download at 300KB/s, the connection seemed amazingly fast. You could download an entire ISO in half an hour!

Now, I can download a 50 GB Xbox game in about 20 minutes at home. Some bits of the future are good.

@noodlejetski @babe Resisting the neurospicy urge to infodump about the difference between fission and fusion

@DuchessOfSnork @noodlejetski @babe yeah, splitting helium might not be as effective as the meme says it is...

@thecorodon @babe I was 19 when I did this.

@babe What's the university equivalent of shitposting in a lab? Shit-lab-ing? Anyway, apparently they're good at shitlabing in Leicestershire https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp92pr5pr48o

@babe all time favorite is the arguing guys yelling about brutalist architecture but favorite currently on my phone:

@kinsale42 Please give us the argument about architecture too 🥺

@lappenjammer @kinsale42 I gotchu fam.

@babe I had a very hard time choosing one but this is one I think of often

@babe

@babe

@babe

@babe for some reason being in French makes this one sillier

@dmarti @babe I've come to prefer this version.

@babe

@pilum @babe cc: @researchfairy 👀↑↑ (with many apologies)

@babe

@babe
Actually. I recalled another one.

@babe
We are tired

@babe somehow i don't think anyone's posted this one yet? my favorite Post

@babe timeless, unfortunately

@ska hi, I have a PhD in chemistry and I'm happy to say that for purposes of meme this does not matter, it's still 11/10, have a gr8 and less pedantic day!

@DuchessOfSnork @noodlejetski @babe

@babe has anyone hit you up with this yet?

@zwol @babe oh right

@babe hard to decide, but this is definitely one of my favs.

@mhoye @babe I saw quite a long Tumblr thread of people nesting this meme inside other memes but I didn't think any of them added much to the original

@zwol @babe Not even xzibit _ignoring the tower of babel_ in favor of fractal memes moved you? geez, tough crowd.

@andrewt @sconlan @babe yep, it’s standard vocabulary for “shit, I don’t know, just figure it out along the way” in our team

@babe not exactly a meme but still something everyone needs to see

@babe It's niche, but I love it

@titania hey, ruining memes for the purpose of scientific accuracy is entirely part of nerd culture and barely even qualifies as pedantry! 😁

@ska hmmm, cannot help but feel that the word "ruining" there is pretty telling! 🤔

@titania this has now been two posts I made light-heartedly in the hope for fun engagement, and two replies from you with nothing but aggression and scorn. Are you okay?

@ska tone is hard to detect over the internet, apparently, I'm not particularly aggressive nor scornful, but you do you!

@babe

@titania I'm sorry, you come in flaunting your PhD for no reason, calling me pedantic for daring to point out a basic scientific inaccuracy in a meme, then when I say it's all in good fun, you underline the word "ruining" in a way that implies I'm a terrible person and I should feel bad.

That is not the tone, that is the content of your answers, and it's not even remotely okay.

@ska hmm, must need to use more emojis. welp, best of luck to you, the seven people who favorited that original post seemed to get the tone!

@ska @titania
> point out a basic scientific inaccuracy in a meme

my guy you should stop and think about the way you sound every now and then

@babe I hope I’m not too late…

@babe

@babe https://youtu.be/JdPp1HyP21c

okay so this is a video BUT I PROMISE IT'S WORTH IT

@mynameistillian@plush.city @babe@glitterkitten.co.uk oh, that one

thankfully exists in text form too: https://masto.ai/@stavvers/109710717425877293

@babe german meme, explanation in alt text

@babe besides the brassica series of memes, i think of this one maybe weekly, i dont know why, and it caused me to learn that the queen of all worms was and continues to be a 10 year old girl from willatson england

@babe

@noodlejetski after doing what you asked and reading my initial comment again, I still can't believe I'm getting that much hate for something so innocuous. When I say uninteresting, unfunny or dumb things, most people rightfully ignore me. Guess it was the wrong time to be unfunny. Muting and moving on.

@ska @titania You're absolutely wrong.

@babe

@babe

@babe

@babe

This one I do love:

@thecorodon @babe this made me cry somehow
