Better than beans and Stroganoff.

...I think.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 53 points 2 years ago

You take that back! Beanposting was peak content

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I missed stroganoff and beans. Have we done guacamole posting?

[–] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 31 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Be the change you want to see.

Guac on your mom still costs extra, though.

Something something chickpea

You know it. She got that high class dip.

It's less about "new content" on Lemmy and more about "I have a social media addiction and need constant content to satisfy my insatiable media habit". A lot of us are guilty of this, me included.

Look, I don't put up with it when my therapist says this shit to me and I'm certainly not gonna take it from some internet rando! Quit attacking me and say something funny about Taylor Swift's acorn tricorder

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago

I'm in this comment and I don't like it

[–] N0x0n@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This is sad, but true ! But I have to say that lemmy decreased my binge scrolling I had with reddit, so it partially solved that addiction.

I used to be into sadism, necrophilia, and bestiality… but then I realized I was just beating a dead horse.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Noooo you can't make new memes or enjoy lemmy-specific content! We need political memes and 5th-generation Facebook reposts ONLY!

Jarvis generate an airplane getting hit with an acorn flying into Will Poulter.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Congratulations, Tony. You've invented a new ~~element~~ tragedy.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 12 points 2 years ago

Wrap it all up in a twitter screenshot please

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When does this meme apply to itself and we stop getting a new version every week like it's the fuckin weekly meme gazette?

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah I was expecting a recursion where the last one is this meme in itself.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've been meaning to ask... What's up with the Taylow Swift = airplane memes?

[–] Denvil@lemmy.one 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

She takes her private jet absolutely everywhere, to the detriment of the environment

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Oh, ok. I was expecting something more damning, but I guess that goes against her public image.

Thanks.

[–] Early_Insurance_3334@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Also her lawyers sent a letter to the person who tracks her flights to stop so that put her even more in the spotlight.

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

This is actually the real problem, which makes me feel like the memes are justified. They really didn't start showing up til the C&D anyway (AFAIK).

I'm a feminist and left-leaning guy, I'm certainly not gonna go after her for being a woman or for her "politics"* - or appreciate jokes that seek to do so, as people are trying to imply in this case. But trying to avoid the deserved scrutiny of hiding her flight plans is pretty shitty and it's fair to razz her for it

(* "go vote" is so barely politics it's not worth truly acknowledging it as such)

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a thin thread they can use to attack a potential popular endorsement of Biden.

Some of them are genuine iterations on the existing meme, but the meme primarily exists to dampen her influence on politics.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

That's a really dumb interpretation. The people who would think lesser of her for her jet travel are distinctly NOT the people who would've avoided voting for Biden over Trump or any other R.

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It's not about choosing a candidate, especially with Taylor. It's about going out to vote or not.

They were fucking terrified that Taylor and Kelce were gonna endorse Biden at the Super Bowl. It's not a coincidence that the jet thing was picked up at the same time.

And they're afraid they were gonna get out the vote for the young, who are notoriously left-leaning non-voters.

[–] Rodeo@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I agree, I think it would be pretty foolish to assume there was nobody behind the memes but the people. Here we all are denouncing Swift when she was actually spreading a good message about getting out to vote.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Apparently she recently took a 13 minute flight on her private jet. That's a pretty bad look.

[–] w2tpmf@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

She might not have even been on the plane. It's pretty common for private jets to have short flights like that to move them to get serviced.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I was going to order an "obnoxious complaining about other people having fun wrong" meme, but you just used the last one.
