I wonder if this would count as !badtaxidermy@mander.xyz

I mean technically not because no tissues were transferred but hey you could say moving and posing the husks counts

You know, when it was beans or jeans or whatever that one guy was spamming like crazy, It stuck out like a sore thumb to me. I found it rather tiresome TBH. But with the moths, I just laughed. Perhaps I've seen the light?

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A round of applause for the brother/sister who has now found the light!!!

The Moth Enlightenment Era has begun.

If someone can shine some light on this, that would be great.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Hngh, did you say shine light?

[–] not_fond_of_reddit@lemm.ee 40 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, all of a sudden… moths everywhere

[–] blackluster117@sh.itjust.works 42 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think someone left the lights on.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Fucking Tom Bodett!

Maybe it's the season.

Ask your moth-er

A moth goes into a podiatrist’s office, and the podiatrist’s office says, “What seems to be the problem, moth?”

The moth says “What’s the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Illinivich, and all day long I work. Honestly doc, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know if Gregory Illinivich knows. He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness. But I don’t know, I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there… at night I…I sometimes wake up and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm. A lady that I once loved, doc. I don’t know where to turn to. My youngest, Alexendria, she fell in the…in the cold of last year. The cold took her down, as it did many of us. And my other boy, and this is the hardest pill to swallow, doc. My other boy, Gregarro Ivinalititavitch… I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes, all I see is the same cowardice that I… that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only I wasn’t such a coward, then perhaps…perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all…Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I’m a moth, just barely hanging on to my web with an everlasting fire underneath me. I’m not feeling good. And so the doctor says, “Moth, man, you’re troubled. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come here?”

And the moth says, “‘Cause the light was on."

Wait 'til you hear him tell it.

I've probably watched that video from Conan O'Brien 100 times and it never fails to make me laugh every time. His delivery is just perfect.snd Conan's reaction is priceless.

Don't worry about it. Just follow the light, let it guide you

Guys I'm disappointed in y'all. the answer is stupid simple:

LAMP

In my experience it's more about nginx these days.

It's just one guy posting all these shit

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Good initiative though IMO.

Lemmy is behind the meme curve and still regularly posts stale old memes, like moth

[–] Townlately@feddit.nl 11 points 2 months ago

There was a bean season, now we have moth season.

SnokenKeekaGuard (pillar of the shitposting community) has been compelled by the spirit of lepidopterology and commenced a dedicated wave of mothposting.

Embrace it.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

Snoken is a guiding light of the community

[–] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

It was a big long fad on reddit like a year ago. I guess it is just finally making it to lemmy

but I really want you to have one. perhaps a light bulb over your head?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

If there's one thing sites like this are good at, it's flogging a joke to death, sometimes to the point where it becomes funny again. Not quite there yet. ;)

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

Bean there done that

[–] sibannac@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Someone invested heavily in moths and lamp memes. Gotta unload the stale goods somewhere.

I like to think it is a sign that Silksong is coming out soon.

[–] WizardofIs@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago
[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

So this moth walks into a podiatrist's office...

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 months ago

First it was the beans. Then it was the guy who couldn't poop. Now it's moths. What don't you understand?

[–] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 months ago

I'm waiting for the moth/beans crossover, myself
