It's all about LÄMP

[–] whimsy@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 hours ago

Don't worry about it. Just follow the light, let it guide you

[–] Alistaire@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's just one guy posting all these shit

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Good initiative though IMO.

What about cakes next?

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 48 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

You know, when it was beans or jeans or whatever that one guy was spamming like crazy, It stuck out like a sore thumb to me. I found it rather tiresome TBH. But with the moths, I just laughed. Perhaps I've seen the light?

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 18 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

A round of applause for the brother/sister who has now found the light!!!

The Moth Enlightenment Era has begun.

In my experience it's more about nginx these days.

Lemmy is behind the meme curve and still regularly posts stale old memes, like moth

[–] groolthedemon@lemmy.world 21 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (1 children)

A moth goes into a podiatrist’s office, and the podiatrist’s office says, “What seems to be the problem, moth?”

The moth says “What’s the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Illinivich, and all day long I work. Honestly doc, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know if Gregory Illinivich knows. He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness. But I don’t know, I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there… at night I…I sometimes wake up and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm. A lady that I once loved, doc. I don’t know where to turn to. My youngest, Alexendria, she fell in the…in the cold of last year. The cold took her down, as it did many of us. And my other boy, and this is the hardest pill to swallow, doc. My other boy, Gregarro Ivinalititavitch… I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes, all I see is the same cowardice that I… that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only I wasn’t such a coward, then perhaps…perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all…Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I’m a moth, just barely hanging on to my web with an everlasting fire underneath me. I’m not feeling good. And so the doctor says, “Moth, man, you’re troubled. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come here?”

And the moth says, “‘Cause the light was on."

Wait 'til you hear him tell it.

[–] groolthedemon@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I've probably watched that video from Conan O'Brien 100 times and it never fails to make me laugh every time. His delivery is just perfect.snd Conan's reaction is priceless.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 1 points 3 hours ago

Same here. The dolphin joke is pretty good, too.

I wonder if this would count as !badtaxidermy@mander.xyz

I mean technically not because no tissues were transferred but hey you could say moving and posing the husks counts

[–] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 45 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

If someone can shine some light on this, that would be great.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago

Hngh, did you say shine light?

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 6 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

If there's one thing sites like this are good at, it's flogging a joke to death, sometimes to the point where it becomes funny again. Not quite there yet. ;)

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 7 hours ago

Bean there done that

[–] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 35 points 11 hours ago

Ask your moth-er

[–] not_fond_of_reddit@lemm.ee 33 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah, all of a sudden… moths everywhere

[–] blackluster117@sh.itjust.works 34 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I think someone left the lights on.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago

Fucking Tom Bodett!

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 hours ago

Maybe it's the season.

[–] Antagnostic@lemmy.world 23 points 10 hours ago
[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 16 points 10 hours ago

Just go with it. it's a funny meme vs actual news. teehee

[–] Townlately 10 points 10 hours ago

There was a bean season, now we have moth season.

SnokenKeekaGuard (pillar of the shitposting community) has been compelled by the spirit of lepidopterology and commenced a dedicated wave of mothposting.

Embrace it.

[–] TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 points 9 hours ago

Snoken is a guiding light of the community

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours ago

It’s kind of creeping me out :(

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 5 points 9 hours ago

I like to think it is a sign that Silksong is coming out soon.

[–] WizardofIs@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 hours ago
[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 4 points 9 hours ago

the answer can be found by pondering your orb while eating beans and wearing jeans

[–] ABetterTomorrow@lemm.ee 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)
[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 10 points 10 hours ago

[–] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 9 hours ago

I'm waiting for the moth/beans crossover, myself
