    I take issue with the first description of the first one. It is an evolution from what was courage wolf. Courage wolf was a meme template where the top line set up the situation and the bottom showed how you courageously did something in response.

    People then took it to the next level with insanity wolf, the one depicted here. The top line is the same, setting up some kind of situation. But the bottom line changed to doing something absolutely insane that no person would ever ever do in real life.

    The 8th one, with the lady crying, is definitely wrong. It was a first-world problems, something people wirh comfy lives would complain that are not a real problem.

      That’s basically what it says, just worded differently.

        That was my thought at first. I think what they mean by “something a third-world person would like to complain about” is more like “someone from a third world country wishes they had those kinds of problems instead of the ones they do”

    A time when memes were fun and goofy. Now it’s all smug-looking wojaks. Can’t we all agree to go back to those days?

      Eh, we had ragefaces before we shifted to those image captions. And we also had demotivational posters before the ragefaces

        Early rage faces could be good. The low barrier of entry allowed people who couldn’t before to express some funny ideas. Then they ran out of ideas and continued to beat the dead horse.

      Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

        For some reason the link posted by Ghostalmedia worked for me but the link posted by the bot didn’t. Can anyone explain why? Is it just because I’m on the lemmy.world instance?

          If the bot link doesn’t work it’s more likely a client issue I would assume (the app or browser you’re using)

          I’m also not quite sure of how it works yet but at least the first part is correct i think. The full link worked for you because its to the instance your account is on. When i use that link (on the desktop website) i get redirected to that site but i don’t have an account there so i cant interact with it on this account. Similarly: if I link https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/[email protected] it will work for me without problems but you should see a website where you aren’t logged in (at least using the website, mobile apps might handle it differently i think).

          (Although i have no idea why the exclamation mark link didn’t work for you, it did work for me at least. Maybe its the app you are using? I remember that for example some old jerboa version had problems with the exclamation mark links where it would just crash when you tried to use them.)

            Yep turns out you’re right, the Connect app seems to work with all the http links whereas the ! links don’t work. On the Jerboa app it’s the opposite so the ! links work but the http links don’t.

        im on the Summit app and it treats it like an email, ignoring the !

        probably the apps fault

      Maybe it’s because I’m an asshole. Still waiting to see one of those memes pop up.

      Far too many people are using confession bear to gather sympathy for non-confessions

      “My boss told me to kill 52 orphans and yell racial slurs at black people but I told him to fuck off, even though you shouldn’t swear. (Now please go ahead and tell me how good of a person I actually am)”
