I've been here years and I'm still getting new ones that make me laugh
I think my favorite might be "please wait warmly, folks are making tea". I don't know why, but it always gives me a little giggle

You laugh, but this hits very close to home when your crush starts a conversation about linux distros for programming her model trains and then you vent about it and your gal pal enters the chat to say that she plans installing a dual boot system and which distro she should use for that and then your ex tells you about that vintage French computer she bought that's somehow linked to transfem culture deep lore. Like, i'm specifically dating the arts and humanities nerds to avoid this kind of stuff because i understand nothing about it and it still keeps happening.
And there's the Hamas Base Steamed Hams one, that I don't have saved. And the one saying y'all will do communism without me. And the one calling me a liberal.
I will not stand for this slander of our community! Some of it is only half-true!
People say shit like "just ssh the root config distro"
Yeah, it's true. We say that shit so much, like any chance we get. All the time.
"the only women here are trans women" not true! some of us are trans men 
disclaimer
this is a joke about my specific mystery gender, not anyone else's. i am not implying that trans masc people in general are women, thats just me 
I am a trans woman who lives as a man 🤷♀️
I think my favorite ones are when I can't tell if it's some actual complaining about us or one of us mocking their complaints
"The only women here are women" is a wild take but ok 
Wamen, am I right?
Oof yeah our haters are always the nicest people hmm? Actually I might put a transphobia warning on this post because yeah it's oof.
Mods??? MODS?! They're making fun of me again for using my latin phrasebook in an argument :( you have to track them down and kill them!!!
i got this one some days ago for the first time, it was pretty funny
regimus
spoiler
I've hyperfocused and done a week of self lead Latin lessons 😅
"just ssh the root distro" - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
ngl I'm a little out of it and glossed over "but the users are so awful" the first time I read it and was just like "hell yeah" 
That's why it's funny, they make us sound so much cooler than we actually are
I've literally seen this tagline before and up until just now I thought it was someone genuinely expounding about how rad Hexbear is lmao
I always want to reply to the taglines
I do this too, here's the most recent in my screenshots
Another particularly enjoyable one is the Hamas paraglider flying towards the Triforce or Angular Merkels 
Never seen this lmao
i felt the need to comment for no other reason than this gave me a chuckle.
"In response to the horse imagery, "
"- I cast Force of Will, exiling Storm Crow"
Forgetting the #1 rule of jokes
If you don't understand it just laugh anyway
People just expect to walk into a community and instantly understand everything huh? I mean... they could just shut up and hang out for a while and I'm sure they'd pick up our dumb ass in jokes, but no it's always "I'vE BeEn HeRe fIVe SeConDs wHy iS eVerYoNe SaYinG UsInG PiG EmOtEs?!"
remember we used to say "lurk more" and tie onions to our belts?
Realising 'read theory' has the same vibe as 'lurk moar' lol
Excited for "Thead reory" to catch on.
It was the style at the time
the best jokes are funny even when you don't understand the context
