Thunder is the sound of angels having sick mid-air anime battles.

Have you seen the tv show Legion?
The final showdown is between two telepaths, so they're fighting eachother in a sick mid-air anime battle.

While singing Behind Blue Eyes at one another.

Forgot about Ken M. Thanks for reminding me. Good memories.

He’s a good man. And thorough.

Please slide down your shorts

He fixes the cable?

[–] MadBob@feddit.nl 9 points 1 year ago

I laughed, I saw the name Ken M, and I knew why I'd laughed.

A perfect 5/7

Sounds like Sheldon's mom.

Little known fact, but the "M" in "Ken "M is for "meme".

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ken M is meme. Thusly, anything Ken M says is also meme.

[–] CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

what's your definition of a meme? For me it certainly counts as one

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

From Reddit:

All posts must follow typical meme setup/design: an image/gif/video with some sort of caption; mods have final say on what is (not) a meme; tldr:

  • No titles as meme captions
  • A GIF/video alone (without caption) is not a meme [especially screen recording / scrolling]
  • Do not post screenshots of people saying something funny on Twitter/Tumblr/Reddit/TikTok/text messages
  • No unedited webcomics
  • No text-only memes
  • No IRL recreations or creepshots; no selfies or making friends into a meme

A comment is not a meme. It lacks depth and is low quality posting

[–] Dragon@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ken M tweets are honorary memes

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip -3 points 1 year ago

No they really aren't

From Reddit:

... Lol, STFU.

Reddit" guidelines" aren't the end all be all to every platform.

I dislike when people attack others online, so I apologize for the above, but I'm not deleting it. Are you serious tho?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

No but I think r/memes is a pretty good roll model. They do a really good job of keeping down the spam.

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That doesn't match up with what KnowYourMeme.com says

Memes are broadly defined as culturally transmitted information or ideas and beliefs that can be spread from one organism, or group of organisms, to another.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is know your meme composed primarily of twitter screenshots? Last time I checked the answer was no

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It has a fair share of copypasta, and I am curious what would make copypasta a meme, but not a twitter screenshot.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

Copy pasta is not a meme

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And its only gatekeeping of you have a physical gate

Lemmy works by subscribing to communities. Nothing here makes sense when the content doesn't fit to the community it's posted to

If nothing here makes sense then neither does your comment. Checkmate atheist
