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 !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, 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

I know "prolonged screen use causes long-term damage to your vision" is something boomers like to tell kids but I'm pretty sure that was disproven.

Anecdotally, my vision was fine (well it was half farsighted half normal, now I'm half farsighted half nearsighted) until i started heavily using a computer. Plus what really makes your vision worse is eye strain (i.e. muscles around your eye contracting for extended periods of time) changing the shape of your eyeball, would be weird for prolonged screen use not to do that.
