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

This cuts both ways. My wife likes to show me TikTok videos, and even if I agree with what is being said on them, the delivery style is aggressively obnoxious and feels like I'm getting shouted at and slapped by the content.

Jumpcuts are a scourge on our race. Sometimes I physically get sick from my eyes having to jump around to the person that is suppose to be the focus of the video. I just can't do it.

I get less than nothing from "LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME THIS IS PARASOCIAL ENGAGEMENT" selfie-reaction emphasis. I can handle TikTok videos better by closing my eyes 99% of the time but that just makes me miss visual gags/gimmicks that justify blasting out 5 second music clips.

I've found that listening to them is way easier to digest. I don't have TT but my wife does and she's always finding relevant things to share with me but I usually play them in the background so I avoid having to have my focus bounce all over the screen. Which sucks because there is a lot of decent leftist awakening type material on there but I just can't do it.

there's also a weird trend of mostly dudes doing that with really rapid speech patterns while expanding their mouths wide for consonants. it's something you won't necessarily hear unless you've had vocal training - it just sounds weird unless you have - but if you know what to listen for, you can't unhear it. the combination of all of these factors makes it really hard to understand people, akin to a thick accent, except that they're using standard US English. I've never needed captions to understand teenagers before - I've not always understood some new slang but this speaking/editing style combo is something else.

Do you have anything to help a normie understand what you mean with that speaking style thing?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

try saying "meh" while holding your tongue high and your mouth as closed as possible. then try again with your tongue low and your mouth as open as possible. it's the difference in those two sounds. makes you sound like your mouth is full of cotton, except the sound isn't muffled, it's just your consonants are garbled.

Sounds like typical Upstate New York accents lol

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

It's always some obnoxious person badly greenscreening themselves over like a tweet and bombarding you with captions. Every video on social media is like this now.

This was my favorite part of the new Indiana Jones movie, when they crash in the undeveloped American midwest and are welcome in by a village of guys who start showing them csgo kill cam compilations and Indi says "just watch it, it's all they have..."

I don't get the joke if there is one but I just want you to know either way this comment is gross.

“Pornhub and fuck” but it’s a euphemism for cuddling and watching a movie together
