Obviously if there was a "Sarcasm rabbit" type meme, now it makes sense. I've never seen this meme image before, maybe that's what it's going for, but for now it's going to get shit on.

"It's just a meme" is the same as "it's a joke. Stop taking it seriously, dumbass." Nobody is excusing what the meme says as actual advice. They're telling people to stop taking it as advice, because it's a joke.

It's personal for me. My wife does this.

I didn't learn the benefits until moving out on my own.

It took me literally 15 years to convince SO to do this...gl

You say that like it doesn't happen with memes constantly. I swear... the amount of people who take these memes seriously is off the fuckin wall.

I swear it's worse than it was on Reddit too

Bro nobody is frothing at the mouth, they're just shit talking, because like, that's the whole point of these kind of communities. If we wanted a slideshow to scroll through, we'd go to Tumblr or something.

Would you prefer Lemmy just be a series of low-effort memes that get upvoted but never have any conversation?

Nobody is butthurt, nobody is upset, nobody even really cares. They're just taking the (admittedly unnecessary) "default tone" of the internet which is a bit needlessly combative, but that doesn't imply anyone actually cares about this topic anymore than you do. If your meme can be "just a joke; don't take it that serious," then their comments can be the exact same tone.

Relax; everyone is just bullshitting except for the people complaining about the people who are bullshitting.
