Way too high resolution and way too little compression... Also who actually crops images perfectly like that? Get a grip...

This is the original, but the "my brother in christ" part was the n word.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This completely fucks up this painting because it is not a pipe it is an image of a pipe but it is a meme and one that makes me irrationally angry at that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

It's not a meme, it's an image of a meme!

Man I loved my Tupperware plastic jar, it was great.

It kept everything cold outside of the fridge, and when inside the fridge, the hermetic seal lid kept all tidy and odorless

You could even use the same sealed lid as a way to graduate the pitch of the liquid by varying the pressure on it

Man I miss that jar

Looked something like this

Anyways jars are awesome

The plastic mug obviously symbolizes a cheap method of gathering stuff together and distributing it around. The plastic itself symbolizes materials which hurt the environment.

New challenge: put the last text you wrote on the last picture you downloaded.

The nuance that makes this false is that the water will eventually get bored and seek another job.

I have that Rubbermaid pitcher. Works well. Would buy again.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago (3 children)

The jug represents the simple pleasures of youth. Common to households across America, it would regularly be used to store a variety of sweetened beverages, from lemonade to iced tea to concentrated orange juice. The emptiness of the bottle signals the hollowness of nostalgia as we can only cling to the imagery even as we long for the sweetness within.

This meme reminds us that memes themselves are a throwback to a bygone day. In analyzing the symbolism, we seek to recreate the moment of blissful innocence. But we are bound by the chains of memory, able only to see but never touch the essence of the thing before us.

The text mostly just obstructs the image. You can ignore it.

Am I right or am I right?

If some image macros are meme.

And some meme are image macros.

Does that mean all image macros are meme?

Debate.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (5 children)

The term 'image macro' has largely fallen out of common parlance. It is a loss of distinction, but not necessarily a loss of functional speech. When people are talking about memes in the Dawkins sense, they know they aren't talking about image macros, and when people talk about memes in the sense of internet comedy, they don't get confused. The only confusion that arises is when someone is trying to explain Dawkins memes and has to dance around the fact that the term has been hijacked by the culture.

All of this is true because it rhymes.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

To be honest, I'm so sexual-relationsing old that I remember when the word meme actually meant something before it was appropriated and adapted for use to refer to the digital images we share electronically after adding text over them.

I wrote a report on this in college. Anything can be a meme by definition. It's the act of sharing images, from one to another, that is what makes it a meme. Because it's memetic. The origin of meme.

Reciting newton's newton's principia mathematica could be considered a meme, as long as it's shared from one individual to the next.

We used to call these "image macros."

I was there when the first cheezburger was has'd. Cats were lol'd. Things have changed since then.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I get it, the pitcher represents the dichotomy of good and evil!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Oh pour it on why don't you
