For any reason.
The “survive for 3 days without pooping” post will always be my favorite
A true classic!
Not one specific post, but I did like bean memes going around for a while. It was right around a reddit migration so people were just coming in and having no idea wtf was going on.
Was I not supposed to feed my lemming beans?
Someone made a meme post about they’re currently hyperfixated on go and I liked that one because I can’t seem to find an active community to talk about go yet.
And it’s fun to see people learning the game I like.
Bruh that was me
LMAO small world! Well thanks for brightening mine for a bit.
they’re currently hyperfixated on go
They need to get past it. After all, they get $200!
No, no, we changed it to STOY! You get $200 if you land on STOY!, and you pay $50 to bribe the guard if you go past STOY!. Please try to keep up, comrade.
There are also zombies now as of 10 days ago…
Why are you yelling my name?
I didn’t expect anyone to have the name “stop” in Russian.
The backstory of it is that I watched a short Swedish comedy film where a grpup of Swedish tourists are confused with an international group of tourists when doing a castle tour and the guide only speaks a weird pidgin English as he does the tour.
One of the phrases he uses is “Stoy on!”, which translated into “Se upp!” in Swedish, which in turn properly translates to “Look out!”, in proper English, I saw that and thought it was a fitting nickname when playing UT2004, and have kept it, and shortened it to Stoy.
Though, you meant go as in the programming language
Another brick in the SEO wall that makes it more difficult to search for communities and resources on playing go. I switched to using the Korean name, baduk, for a while, just to reduce confusion, but fewer people in the US seem to know it by that name.
Woe is the life of the lonely go player.
When c/Risa was saying what every Star Trek character would do with their shopping cart. https://startrek.website/post/5262691
At the time, I was looking for a way to make movie theater tasting popcorn at home. The microwave ones that claim to taste like it are terrible. I saw this, tried it and it is amazing. I make it for everyone I know and they all agree that it’s the best homemade popcorn they’ve ever had. Ghee is the way to go!
Yay!
I forgot to save it but someone mentioned how posting memes to social media platforms is counter to the essence of memes and I’ve thought a lot about it ever since. And I think I agree
I don’t get, isn’t memes literally translate to spread, would posting aid in that?
The natural flow of ideas isn’t from group to group anymore - it’s broadcast to the world. With most memes nowadays, it’s a rush to copy a template into as many topics as possible and sent to “everyone”
People don’t really “find” memes anymore and share them with their friends. It’s like “finding” a new TV show on cable. They went from in-jokes to content.
That was my interpretation of the commenter’s half thought, anyway
The writing style and positive fighting spirit of https://lemmy.world/comment/3597938 is great. Would read a book of this person.
Wow that’s beautiful. That should go in !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world
This one.
