Nobody: "We need a 'nobody:' in there!"

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Im pretty sure some people said that

If not, are all the memes with "nobody: " in them werent made by anybody and that is the signature?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I was being hyperbolic. The original usage is completely incorrect, because if nobody said nothing, then everybody said something.

I only know of one that does that: Tony's Chocolonely.

[–] Tagger@lemmy.world 47 points 1 week ago (1 children)

and they've got a pretty good justification for it too

It represents the inequality in the chocolate industry.

Why are your bars unequally divided?

It doesn’t make sense for chocolate bars to be divided into equal-sized chunks when there is so much inequality in the chocolate industry! The unequally-sized chunks of our 180g bars are a palatable way of reminding Choco Fans and Serious Friends that the profits in the chocolate industry are unequally divided.

And in case you haven’t noticed, the bottom of our bars depicts the West African coastline. The chunks just above it represent the Gulf of Guinea. From left to right, you have Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut), Nigeria and part of Cameroon.

That's awesome!

Togo and Benin (terribly politically incorrect, we know, but we had to combine them to create enough space for a hazelnut)

lol

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 19 points 1 week ago

That makes them even more awesome in my book. Thanks for that link.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 week ago

They seem pretty cool!

Unfortunately I can't eat them, since the one thing they can't seem to certify on is gluten... May be pretty good gifts though.

[–] Hemi03@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 week ago (8 children)

can they do that and make it so i can brake pieces of, without shattering the whole thing. I wont eat those big ass pieces and i dont want to break my hand trying to divide them.

Nah. You can be pro reform without being silly and impractical. This may be the reason they do it, but it doesn't justify the impracticality of it.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I think the different sizes are neat. You get to choose how much you want to eat.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

A grid configuration also allows you this choice in a reproducible fashion.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 0 points 6 days ago

Yeah but it's less fun

[–] shadowedcross@sh.itjust.works 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Maybe? It doesn't really seem that big a deal to me, I still like getting their bars.

[–] mindaika@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Slavery!

That’s why it’s the color that it is

Edit: my bad, I guess it’s shaped like the coast of Africa

[–] ddplf@szmer.info 4 points 6 days ago

sooo... Slavery!

[–] match@pawb.social 11 points 1 week ago

fucking love chocolonely. the random bar shapes give my mouth good feels

[–] UrPartnerInCrime@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just bought some more Tony's today!

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

[Internet High-Five] Yah, tony's is great.

Is Lemmy now that popular that people start posting disguised ads?

[–] Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

I don't think there are that many ads, even if there were you could easily get rid of them by buying my cool Lemmy adblock that uses AI to recognize clever product placement and cover it up with a picture of dirt!

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

really? we can't allude to anything now? oh no someone referenced a movie, they must be working for the studio!

I'd really appreciate it if we kept Lemmy without the miserable grumpy cat that is r/hailcorporate just running around accusing people of shilling for literally mentioning anything in any context whatsoever.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 days ago

Maybe comes from the recent chocolate post and OP found it in their folder of 'stolen memes'. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 9 points 1 week ago

Name checks out

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nobody does nothing?

"companys?"

Get this shit outta here

[–] CoolMatt@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Man, I've never understood this nobody meme and it seems nobody is even able to explain it.

[–] cone_zombie@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

We're on the same boat. The meme is very ambiguous, but it roughly means that something happens seemingly without a reason, i.e. the author doesn't understand why something is the way it is

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 18 points 1 week ago

Is this a loss meme?

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Haven't seen that before but, I am okay with this.

Make it a Nautilus spiral or fractals and I could theoretically have endless chocolate.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 7 points 1 week ago

I genuinely can't fucking stand this. It never breaks away cleanly and it just makes it annoying to share because the pieces are all different sizes
