In all seriousness, I don't mind reposts that people haven't seen recently or are largely forgotten. When mfs repost something everyone just saw I get peeved.

Why post if not OC? Don't repost memes, make memes

There are good jokes in old posts, such as those bubbly iMessage screenshots from years ago. People posting their old meme stashes does liven this place up a bit for a little amount of effort.

Personally I try to make original memes based off of templates. (Like this one)

God I’m so glad to be rid of that, I was always the guy saying "well I haven’t seen it"

Absolutely. I wonder if this mentality will come back here in some places eventually...

[-] Fades@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Okay but what happens when the same damn meme is posted within hours of each other, like this exact meme?

And if you've never heard music before you'd probably think Baby Shark was an amazing song; your lack of awareness doesn't make something quality or appropriate

And your awareness of something doesn’t make it poor quality or inappropriate, if you often think with such a self centered mindset, you’re liable to drive yourself crazy on a place that cares as little as the internet long before you convince it to change

I literally just saw this exact meme post elsewhere.

y-, uh... y'know the... one thing I shou-... excuse me for one second.

(jokes aside I crossposted this to one other community so that everyone could partake in my memery)
