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

Guys... I'm starting to think this Adolf guy isn't so great!

Let me finish reading his Wiki though. Shit's wild.

Bit idea: start prefixing every major historical event with "the first". e.g. "The first 9/11" "the first capitol insurrection" "the first COVID pandemic." That way history books will be ready when they happen again.

The first 9/11 was in Chile.

I get this feeling a lot when I read about a historical event. I want to tell everyone about it.

You guys would not believe happened to King Edward V of England.

I'm gonna need a one sentence, 20 word max, non-sourced summary of that.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

As a child-king he got fucking murdered by his uncle who was supposed to protect him.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I was ready to say you cheated by hyphenating, but unfortunately you expertly kept it under 20.

I also feel like I learned unnecessary information about British royalty that I normally try to avoid because I confused Henry V with Edward V. But in fairness to myself, fuck the Brits.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

About the only thing America got right was telling the Brits to fuck off.

I love a good wikipedia rabbit hole, never know where you'll end up looking up strange things you run across online...
