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

I don't really enjoy conlangs at all. If you do all power to you, but nah not for me. I am not interested in an artificial language, I am much more interested in all the cultural aspects. "By the gods!" "By Odins' beard" "As the stars shine above" all those sayings, all the weird little intricacies and slang and so on. That I do enjoy. What do your people call monday? What's a holiday they enjoy, what's their dances like? What's their clothes like? How are the cities designed? What matters to them?

If you don't like conlangs, then that's more a matter of not liking linguistics than a matter of preferring "cultural aspects" — because, at least if you're a good conlanger, you can't really separate the language from the culture.
