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

Americans will still cope and seethe but it was a space race buddy not a moon race and the USSR sent several people there before you did. (hexbear.net)

Compare this to what the US is doing with space now. Sending wealthy entrepreneurs to go on pointless little space tours. Gone is the quest for human knowledge and searching for our place in the universe, slowly being replaced with a tourism business.

slowly being replaced with a tourism business.

Don't forget the Internet business that doesn't work as well as traditional satellite Internet does while simultaneously making things harder for all ground based space observatories.
