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

Reject hypotheticals, embrace reality.

Pedantically, this is a counterfactual. A hypothetical is an imagined future flowing from a given present, but a counterfactual is an imagined future flowing from an imagined past. ๐Ÿค“

[โ€“] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Fuck counterfactuals. Fuck calling them hypotheticals.

Don't know if this is a reference but it reminds me of the dunk tank post about the Nazi dude being asked what he would do if he was born Haitian

[โ€“] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Think it's referencing that. But yeah, conservative who thinks they're a genius but is literally incapable of considering a hypothetical is like a whole genre.

[โ€“] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

I hope it's referencing something like that. Because otherwise, it would sound really reactionary in itself.

breakfast was invented by Kellogg cereal company

[โ€“] Weedian@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There was breakfast before Kelloggs, it was just making people too horny

[โ€“] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I am kinda shit without a decent breakfast in me.

[โ€“] Chronicon@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

I can skip breakfast, but I can't skip coffee, and if I have coffee without breakfast I will probably get a tummy ache by lunch so

yeah

In the 13th century, breakfast when eaten sometimes consisted of a piece of rye bread and a bit of cheese. Morning meals would not include any meat, and would likely include 0.4 imperial gallons (1.8 L) of low alcohol-content beers. Uncertain quantities of bread and ale could have been consumed in between meals.

Reject modernity, return to tradition

[โ€“] copandballtorture@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Small beer, local cheese, and fresh bread. Throw some beans in there and I'm on board

[โ€“] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Sounds like the breakfast of champions to me.

[โ€“] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

sometimes a little coffee is all i need for the first few hours tho meow-coffee

Maybe a sweet pastry to go with the coffee

[โ€“] Fleur_@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Breakfast actually is the worst meal of the day. Fight me

[โ€“] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What about second breakfast?

[โ€“] Fleur_@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Second breakfast, second worst

Take it back. angery

[โ€“] Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

that's the best meal, I always skip first breakfast to save my appetite for second breakfast

[โ€“] copandballtorture@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Do you want the super savory salty meat pile or the bread soaked in sugar? Or how about just mouthfuls of plain scrambled eggs? Don't forget the greasy undercooked undersalted hash browns. Now, cover it all in ketchup. Them's fine dining.

[โ€“] foxontherocks@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Whole grapefruit and coffee, thanks.

[โ€“] Fleur_@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

Don't forget being tired as fuck while making it, then being tired as fuck after eating. And to top it off it's the least acceptable meal of the day to have a a drink with and tbh it's the meal of the day I could most use some liquid copium with

[โ€“] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'll fight you alright. I'm Spanish, and making pa amb tomaca for breakfast feels like waking up to a godly meal. I also visited the US for like a week, and I remember my delicious breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns and Cholula sauce that I had one day, or french toast another day (never had french toast before).

[โ€“] Fleur_@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Every meal is breakfast in Spain lmao

[โ€“] vovchik_ilich@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

How so? I've never heard that before

[โ€“] booty@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Fuck breakfast honestly. Pointless work, pointless meal. Last thing I wanna do when I get up is stand around cooking some fuckin pancakes or whatever. I'll eat when I'm actually hungry not when Big Breakfast has trained me to eat
