Top tier use of that meme. That original photo of those two guys pointing at the vegan nuggets or whatever it was makes me irrationally angry: sometimes I look at it just to wind myself up.

I'm just now realizing that I've never seen the original image

Does that mean all the wojaks actually came from some source materials? Oh god

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago

These particular ones did, at least.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Some did. At least the chudjak came from a shooter previously active on /pol/, and there's even an Andrew Tate wojak (tatejak?).

Wait but where do I get this veggie fried chicken‽

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

It WAS at KFC, but appears to be discontinued.

why do you hate it? I didn't even know there was am original image so I'm assuming I missed some backstory

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because they're vegan, I guess?

Ordinarily I feel slightly bad, but for once I'm so glad about someone being eternally tied to a stale meme

Cringe AF lmfao

The fact that it never went anywhere and was discontinued makes it even sadder. Fortunately for them, few people seem to know the meme references them.

Nah no problem with it being about Vegan nuggets or anything, but that faux surprise/O-face trend was pretty played out although it did birth good memes.

Literally brainrot

The brain eating aspect of that is redundant!

I love how we anthropomorphize anything and everything.

If they didn't want to have a face they shouldn't have evolved two small rings above a large ring!
