I KNOW RIGHT???
And people were like "oh the killer carved UWU what's this and Helldivers 2 memes on his bullets, that's common in Groyper circles"
Bro are you talking aboutttttt, what do you mean????
I just find it absurd how these niche-in-a-niche-in-a-niche communities develop and how seemingly random bits of internet culture turn into dogwhistles inside, it reaches a point where I'm just like dude, our lizard brains can't handle the internet. We just weren't wired to work like this, there's no way
I really, truly, with all of my being, feel that we are reaching the end limits of what the human mind is currently able to contend with. We are so overstimulated it's insane. We literally need to evolve our physical bodies as a species to continue living as we are or we will literally die.
Or maybe just not go on the internet so much?
Most people are addicted. It's like you are saying "Just stop smoking cigarettes so often"
That's a more reasonable suggestion than "evolve more lungs"
With cigarettes, we recognized the harm that they did and in response developed a series of regulations about where they could be used, who could use them when, how they could be advertised, warning labels that had to be applied, and taxes on them to discourage use and offset the societal harm. As result we get this:
...and this...
The internet is a tricky one on account of it absolutely having crossover with the first amendment, but there's got to be a conversation about its effect on mental health and what if anything can be done in response.
Personally I am in favor of regulating the internet but the potential censorship concerns are a serious issue with actually doing it
I'm not even sure anymore what this analogy is about but 🤣
exactly, hence why I will always promote research into lung alternatives that can better handle particulate matter and are easily replaceable
There is no limit. Things are really really bad? They can always get worse. Rock bottom is a flawed analogy.
The drill is mightier than the rock
Sorry man, but it's going to get worse before it gets better.
And I have no idea if it's ever getting better
I don't even want to bring up brain chips, there's plenty of people who already think they have them. Imagine the psychosis.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
I saw someone who described the murder as a shitpost and that scarily makes sense.
The world's first shitpost murder. Insane.

Here's the link.
I'm a grown-ass, nearly 40 year-old family man, and I fucking know what "uwu" is. These idiots think they're "exposing the conspiracy", when in reality anyone who has spent more than 4 seconds researching any meme would immediately recognize it.
It wasn't even "uwu" meme
It was the "OwO what's this?" Meme. Which makes it even weirder/funnier/messed up
What's the difference? ELIA5 please, I don't know if I have time to go down this rabbit hole myself.
One is a generic emoticon, while "OwO what's this?" is an (in)famous meme from the furry fandom

I still don't understand, but I learned one thing, when a meme seems to do not have a meaning, it's fascists crap.
Those guys always miss humor totally.
Same difference. It's used interchangeably.
eh, not really.
one is more a "uwu sowwy" the other is surprised/shocked/curious expression
It's this face. Like :) is a smile and xD is supposed to be somebody laughing so hard their eyes have squinted shut.
owo is the same face, but the eyes are open.
Edit: I have misread. You do understand it lmao
I always equated "XD" with Eric Cartman 😂
No worries!
My favorite thing is the neonazis wearing pleated khakis. Like, the only item of clothing even nerdier than that is lederhosen.
My nephew is being sent to an evangelical school whose uniform is khakis and a choice of a red or blue polo shirt. Want to guess which color is social suicide?
Im no longer talking to that part of my family.
Do they all look like they work at Target?
No, these are expensive khakis.
If this is gonna be a One Piece pirate flag kinda future, does that mean we can wear sailor slops?
We can only hope.
Pirates are in this year
