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 /c/slop

  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

When I was in my early teens I did both English with a cipher and Americanized Norwegian with a cipher, then I moved on to making an actual conlang that was shitty, then an actual conlang that was a little less shitty, then an actual conlang that was decent, then an actual conlang that was good-ish, and I've been slowly refining that one for many years now.

There isn't anything inherently wrong with making a relex (i.e. the writer's first language but with a cipher or word replacement), but there is a time and a place for it. Some people don't care about linguistics and they shouldn't force themselves to care, because it's going to show.
