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

Back in the 90's when I was a kid I used to carry a book with me everywhere specifically to avoid just sitting there being bored

Martin Parr's photographs are great. A great documentarian of the gammons

I've been in that cafe, can confirm it is still as joyfully miserable as it was in the good old days.
