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

Do the people have to be alive?

Anyways it shouldn't be difficult even for a total fool, just by watching TV you should probably know 4:

  • Xi Jinping
  • Jackie Chan
  • Yao Ming
  • Jack Ma

Ok, I still pass the test, unless westernized nicknames don't count, I have no idea what's the original name of Jack Ma

Do the people have to be alive?

That was the French interview, they were asked to name 'trois chionoises vivants'

You could just memorise the Eight Immortals then you've permanently solved the question.
