Yes, c/memes, not c/OPisanidiot 🙄

Just the two first words could be spicy though

In that case, I would agree with you, sure.

Why did you give your emoji those eyes?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

To emote my dismay. Closing both eyes and just sighing with the mouth open.

Yes, that's why it's on c/memes and not c/infuriating or something

In the 90s we also had a White Power Ranger. And the MTB brand White had a bike with WHITE POWER decals all over.

People putting attributes of an article in the name is something I will never understand.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Search engine optimisation. People search for the attributes and so products that have attributes in the name will be more successful.
