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've been workshopping a theory that a corollary to "Nothing Ever Happens" (NEH) is "It Just Does That" (IJDT) and it resolves a lot of the problems that NEH has encountered recently. Like a LOT of the objections to NEH are adequately explained by IJDT while NEH continues to pertain.

Hypothesis: IJDT is an effective negation to every NEH "chuds owned" claim

I'm not really ready to publish and sadly I don't know that I'll find funding for this research so fuck it.

(for the non philosophers at home, its a shame that this research is going to die on the vine because the implications are quite astonishing: nothing is happening. Just. Remember this is all untested theory so far. one billion dollars to quantum computing but no money to meme philosophy. utter joke of a country. edit dont link me that one guys patreon to own me I'm not owned)

Nothing ever happens?

explain the Super Mario 64 speedrun bitflip caused by errant solar particles

it happened. it just did that. QED

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

wait were you impressed by someone capturing a solar particle bitflip during a speedrun? lol its not like n64s have ecc baka that happens all the fucken time.

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

it just did that because it just does that, doing that is in its nature and there is an aspect in which it is always doing that, or to put it another way "that happens all the time" on a long enough timeline. If we weren't playing super marios within the atmosphere of the earth you wouldn't even need to take the sample over a long period of time because you'd see that it happens all the time.

(things that happen all the time are not happenings they are the status quo)

道 可 道 非 常 道

名 可 名 非 常 名

無 名 天 地 之 始

有 名 萬 物 之 母

故 常 無 欲 以 觀 其 妙

常 有 欲 以 觀 其 徼

此 兩 者 同 出 而 異 名

同 謂 之 玄

玄 之 又 玄

眾 妙 之 門

道 可 道 非 常 道

The Boulevard you can walk is very Boulevard

名 可 名 非 常 名

The name that is namey is very namey

無 名 天 地 之 始

The land without the name is the beginning

有 名 萬 物 之 母

Everything famous is a mother

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

the path that can be spoken of is not the true path.

the name that can be named is not the true name.

that which is without name is the beginning of all things.

that which has a name is the mother of everything.

That just sounds like nonsense I like my translation

I'm going to assume this is what conversations between Chinese classicists in conferences look like.
