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

Bananas come in shrink wrap

The one thing the US is not guilty of. They do this in Asia all the time but the most I've ever seen with bananas is the organic ones have a small bit of cellophane wrapped around the stem only.

Peppers come cellophaned to styrofoam planks

Definitely seen this one. Though mostly with squash and similar, the excuse being oh it prevents bruising and blah, blah, blah. Ridiculous.

You know, that bruise-resistant plastic wrap. I don't know how most people shop, but I'm just as good at getting peppers not to bruise as I am at getting eggs not to break.
