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 !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  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

Can someone explain what Yerba Mate is and what the Yerba Mate girl wojak is even about?

I feel so out of the loop

it's horrible and bitter so only hipsters drink it (argentinians drink it too but it's some sort of masochistic national symbol) and it's a special brand of unauthentic if you buy it canned. actually i'm just guessing i have no idea what sort of stereotype these obscure wojaks are making fun of and tbh as a society we shouldn't be making more of them.

It is (or at least was) just trendy among feeeeemales of a certain age. This is the entirety of that part of the joke: they're feeeeemales of a certain age.

They gave it to Che because he liked yerba mate and that makes it actually funny.

Che really, really, really loved maté

Its a caffeinated drink like coffee but tastes more like a very strong vegetal bitter tea. There is nothing wrong with it or different to coffee in my opinion. You get coffee snobs the same way.

The wojak is that of an art hoe / manic pixie dream girl
