Every time I fail to return a shopping cart on a beautiful spring day, the grocery store’s Cart Gatherer thanks me kindly and calls, “Thank you kind citizen for giving me leave to leave the hellhole that I was stuck in because the world is filled with assholes who are stealing my job! I want to be in the sunlight! Don’t take that from me!!”
Wait! I’m the intended audience. Thank you.
How do the folks you are satirizing receive it?
Will you help me understand it?
I truly truly want to understand this.
I cannot understand what motivates this post.
I’m obsessed with typewriters and I do not give a fuck if it makes sense to anyone else.
Honestly.
So I simply don’t understand why anyone cares if something that makes them happy makes sense to anyone.
What is this preoccupation?
Truly.
Example: I’m pretty certain even this question will not make sense to some people. That’s not on me. It’s on them.
But for the author of the meme and for the people that this query makes sense to: why?
Why this meme.
Is it saying that if I am an ancient and eternal god and it makes me happy to eat my children, it is permissible for me to eat my children?
Because regardless of how happy it makes you to eat your children, it’s not okay.
And clearly I get that the idea here is not the promotion of children eating, but I have zero idea what it is promoting, supporting, or critiquing. Consider me out of the loop. What does this mean, and more importantly, why?
Subscribed. Every time I check out Lemmy the world starts making just a bit more sense.
Let’s keep up the good work and draw the people away from corporate controlled media to just the great stuff that emerges because of shared passions.
The last true hero.
