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

Meta announces huge new data centers, but they could gobble up millions of gallons of water per day. A data center called Hyperion is almost the size of Manhattan. (hexbear.net)

maybe this is more of a headcanon, but going off of the animatrix short where the dude achieves enlightenment via running and wakes up from the matrix, i always assumed the reason the beta matrix failed was due to everyone being able to ascend from it easily due to the lack of misery distracting them: capitalist realism acts as a much better distraction to prevent people from escaping that dang saṃsāra than letting them be happy in paradise
