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

The statue is just a "male worshipper" as far as we know, it's at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC if you wanna see it. I bet they sell copies in the gift shop

Hmm, I wonder why American and European aircraft manufacturers might have gotten so desperate as to use 'fake titanium' in the last few years? curious-marx

They stopped using Russian steel after the invasion, and the military prohibits Chinese steel because they’re afraid it has bugs inside lol
