Low Effort Memes

Some communities have standards. We do not.
Have fun posting!
Welcome to loweffortmemes! This is your space for:
- Posting memes that took you 30 seconds to make
- Sharing weird, niche, or confusing content that doesn't fit elsewhere
- Embracing the beautiful art of minimal effort, maximum vibes
- Whatever random stuff makes you laugh (high effort memes welcome too!)
Community Guidelines:
-
No standards, but we still have rules: Just because we accept low-effort content doesn't mean anything goes. Normal instance rules still apply- don't spread hate, be civil to others, etc.
-
All memes are good memes: That meme you made in MS Paint? That oddly specific joke about your niche hobby? That high-effort masterpiece? That thing other communities thought was "too low quality"? All perfect!
-
Don't kill the vibe: We're here to laugh at dumb stuff together, so keep things chill and fun.
Let's celebrate the fine art of doing the bare minimum and somehow making it work (but also the maximum if that's your thing)!
TLDR: meme gud

Well, it may not have been the basis in the past...
Dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive. They explain how language has been used in the past. They do not regulate the intention of a speaker in the future.
Prescriptively, "literally" and "figuratively" are antonyms. Descriptively, they have been used synonymously.
Having learned this "pusillanimous" meaning, you are now capable of comprehending the intent of someone employing it, much as I am capable of recognizing that "literally" no longer reliably describes the concept of literality.
I guarantee you that nobody is thinking of "pusillanimous" when they call someone a pussy.
