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 [email protected], it's a great comm.

  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

That doesn't make sense, dogs know content of words hence why commands work. It's a cute dog but I don't understand.

You can tell a golden retriever “I hate you so much you’re such a dumb piece of shit” but in like a friendly, sing-songy tone and it’s the same to them as if you are saying “good boy, I love you”.

The joke is that libs are like that, as a politician your policy can be “fuck you stupid assholes, we don’t care about you” but if the tone is right lib voters will eat it up.

They can learn a small number of words and will be confused by even those if you say them in an different tone than the usual context the commands are given.

I mean yeah, because they go by sounds moreso than words. For humans tone can also change the meaning of words as well. I feel as confused as that dog looks.
