    I know I’m talking a jokey commentary point too seriously, but I would say “I can haz cheezburger” is a decent equivalent if we’re going by generation: also makes little sense on the surface as the skibidi stuff.

    One of those things where I get the sense that even the people proliferating it aren’t entirely sure what it means or why they like it, but something about it is funny or interesting to them. But then, the same could be said about a lot of internet humor. Without the meta explanations of a website like KnowYourMeme, it can be hard to follow even if you belong to the generation that is spreading this stuff. I think there’s something about the meme format/communication style that is supposed to be able to go beyond having to get really explicit about what it is you meant. The internet in general can be hard to explain to someone who doesn’t spend a lot of time on it. I guess in a way, memes may be an answer to the fact that so much of the internet is so text-heavy and a lot gets left out when that’s all you have. So memes, gifs, emotes, etc., try to get at the more nonverbal stuff.

    Back in my day Spongebob parodies with a million curse words in each of them and cartoon bear making butter out of a human was the funniest shit ever, so yeah.

    I embrace all the new humor. (I predict hexbear will have a struggle session over the use of the word ‘sigma’ and the implications of baby gronk rizzing up livvy dunne like kai cenat)

    More news on " how things have always been since the dawn of man" at 10.

    Now to the weather.

    "Shits really bad and out of season for the upteenth time in a row, but we won’t mention climate change. "

      I didn’t do the research for this shitpost since I think generational divisions are stupid and arbitrary (and more often than not based on the USA, which doesn’t apply for 99% of the world).
