    For anyone interested: This meme has been posted by bots to a Reddit community I was active in back then very often.
    A bot would mirror these Reddit posts in a Discord server and because this exact meme has been posted there so often, it became an insider at some point, with various people always posting this meme again (because that was itself funny).

    That’s why I can’t take this meme seriously at all.

      Why the hell are you taking a meme seriously in the first place. You see it, laugh if it resonates and move on.

        laugh if it resonates

        That’s what I mean with taking it seriously. You see it and its contents genuinely as the joke it displays.

        In our group, it just became a meta-level-joke because we’ve seen it so often by spam bots and the joke was to re-post it as the newest most original joke one has ever thought of (but without it mattering what’s actually on the image); and that was funny.

        But reposts trigger me beyond belief! I feel bad downloading them even though we’re on a completely different platform. I can’t control my emotions though so I just had to justify my feelings to everyone otherwise I’d feel bad.

          Geez, what are you talking about? I just wanted to share a fun story I remembered when seeing this image.

            It just felt a bit sad and jaded like someone needed to get off internet for a bit but is still addicted lol.

            It does give off serious REPOST vibes but… Longer lol.

            Thank you for well wishes. I’m tormented by reposts nearly as bad as incels are tormented by PizzaCakeComics.

      So the meme itself is as moldy as the portables? Fitting.
