dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I know we're going back and forth over a silly meme and in the context of a social media post I agree, but want to mention that the Buddha himself explicitly told people he was enlightened also. Of course, bragging about your status rather than stating it factually, or showing off your 'abilities' gained from it (such as flight, lots of people be floating in the mythology) is strongly discouraged since it gives people the wrong idea that these abilities and the status itself is the goal and can distort their views.
