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

If the south park guys weren't reactionary cowards this is what their easter bunny episode would've been about

Oh shit for real?

Okay, but why the fuck is Pliny being cited on the sex of hares? Taxation and inheritance law, fine, but why this motherfucker weighing in on biology?

The Elder wrote a Natural History. The Younger, his nephew, was the provincial administrator who wrote letters to Trajan about the Christians.

That's right, there were two Plinies

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There were three. Pliny the Sheepfucker was easily the greateat philosopher, naturalist, and scientist of them all. Broke new ground with hundreds of writings. But, well you know.

Yep, tale old as time. You get born into a family like house Pliny and you can never shake the name, no matter what you do

Does this contribute to the narrative or is this just ancient jk Rowling being like "actually I wrote this character as a hermaphrodite?"

Because, like Christmas, I'm sure society has completely jumped the shark in terms of what the fuck was actually the point of the story

Does anything about any of the co-opted pagan holidays contribute to the narrative? It's always just been superfluous, tangentially related Christian fanfic goofshit, which is what 80% of the content of Christianity.

I'm saying! I bet if you knew the old stories and why they were told it'd be kind of interesting
