People seem super triggered by the oil memes.

You guys okay?

[–] aew360@lemm.ee 89 points 2 years ago

Don’t even talk to me until I’ve had my “nineteen of the same joke back to back” in the morning

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 51 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just having 8 of them being spammed on the page at once. I'll say they were funny, and I'm american. But it quickly became spammy. At least spread them out over a few days

[–] words_number@programming.dev 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly I found them especially funny because there were so many very different ones in a row xD

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 16 points 2 years ago

It's funny when it's different people organically and creatively jumping on the trend. Not so much when it's the same meme over top of different pictures, posted by the same person

We could bring up school shootings, but only kids would get it.

[–] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 years ago

We could bring up the issues with health care, but they can't afford it.

There's someone who posted like 5 america-bad based oil memes in the span of a few hours today.

Edit: I just scrolled further and there are even more now from the same person. Who hurt you, NOT_RICHARD?

[–] NOT_RICHARD@lemmy.today 52 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

9 now. Nobody hurt me, yesterday it was beans, today it's oil, who knows tomorrow?

[–] JackOfAllTraits@lemmy.world 47 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love that Lemmy is both small enough and big enough for this.

[–] chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

a single guy can raid several communities in a few hours just fueled with his hate and love for his cause. I love lemmyverse ❤

[–] walter_wiggles@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years ago

Do one about American Cheese Slices plz

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Both. Sauteed beans

[–] Jeredin@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Just block them - that’s what I did. Works well on Lemmy.

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Well apparently the next post in my feed didn't get the memo.

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 20 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah, the OIL joke is 20 years old.

We have so much more you can make fun of.

[–] spudwart@spudwart.com 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 years ago

While fitting, this is, unfortunatelly, a prank.

[–] Grayox@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Especially since America is the worlds largest producer of oil now.

[–] Jean_le_Flambeur@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 2 years ago (5 children)

This butthurt post was brought to you by an american (propapbly)

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Lol nope, just tired of seeing the same meme over and over again.

[–] pocketman_stuck@lemmy.eco.br 4 points 2 years ago

Imagine how tired we are of america fucking the world over and over. A meme is the least they should expect.

[–] Jean_le_Flambeur@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If its got an interesting turn I don't mind it. But sure, reposts are annoying.

Funny thing is other Americans already picked up the talking point ^^^

Absolute mad lad.

[–] DessertStorms@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Or, you know, block the single user posting what seems to be bothering you so much, and get on with your life?

Seriously, imagine feeling the need to, and then taking the time to make a meme about another random user on the internet whose content you don't like, and thinking you somehow have any high ground in this pathetic scenario.. 🤯🤦‍♀️😂

[–] Funkytom467@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Let's be specific, NOT_RICHARD is that user.

Funny enough, even though the memes are pretty stupid, the discussion on them are interesting.

[–] moshtradamus666@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

America bad is facts lol. But yeah, the oil jokes became overused years ago.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Has anyone posted one about Genocide Joe, yet? Saw that on Tumblr and luld.

[–] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Post it here! I haven't seen one.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Me too. And despite all the pearl clutchers, it's still getting views so jokes on them.

[–] TacoButtPlug@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, I posted it and it's in the super negatives...

[–] Shyfer@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 years ago
[–] essellburns@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just change it up once in a while

That's what the memes are trying to achieve!

[–] MajorMajormajormajor@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Posts the same meme with a new skin over it every time

This is America

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Wait I got one original, let's bring up guns, we haven't done that to death!

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

You know what Squidward? Fuck you.

[–] casmael@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago

Jesus Christ it’s so annoying 🤦‍♂️

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago (5 children)

If only Americans cared about America being bad as much as they care about memes calling America bad. 😂
