But this… This is something else.

The rapidity of a meme’s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, you’ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. It’ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeare’s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.

ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)

this first lyric replacement (”take the breadsticks and run”) is a reference to the tumblr meme ‘stuffing breadsticks into my purse’. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. that’s meme two (2)

“man door hand hook car door” is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the generic ‘stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill us’ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)

‘gun’ is… yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to “man door hand hook car door” for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)

and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomes meme five (5)

which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)

well i added my contribution : )

Did you turn on your kettle and forget about it and now the water is cold again?

Is the tea bag still in?

Did you intend to start the tea making process and forget?

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

AI is not a good thing a majority of the time. Especially since a majority of countries do not have laws or regulations of what it can or can't be used for.

- AI is taking away jobs from humans. (That encourages job insecurity and economic disparity.)

- AI is ruining the environment. (It uses massive amounts of water/electricity.)

- AI ruining any type of art. (Writers, artists, etc. Are suffering. If you are a museum that hosts art and is considering this, that would be incredibly ironic.)

- There is a massive problem with deepfake and illegal images being made by AI. This could spread misinformation/illegal content.

- It has discrimination built in. (AI can learn from historical human data. So that means it absorbs human biases, so it will discriminate against marginalized groups. Many places use it for job application, and it discriminates against the applicants. DEI policies are slowly being erroded, and AI makes it worse.)

- AI is a privacy and security risk. (AI creates privacy risks through mass surveillance. Currently, we are having problems with people pushing online safety, age verfication, digital IDs, etc. Then places can leak it. This happened with multiple companies. The most infamous one being Persona with Discord.)

- They will eventually lose control over the AI. (Some AI researchers warn that as developers build increasingly powerful AI, we risk losing the ability to control/steer these systems. I mean, AI literally made a social media for itself (Moltbook). If that is not losing control already, it is a warning sign it will.)

- AI can spread misinformation. AI can sometimes make up information if it can not draw from a reliable source or sources. That can be incredibly dangerous.

- AND SO SO MUCH MORE NEGATIVE THINGS!

This was made to bring attention to some Sexualitys that fall under either the Aromantic or Asexual umbrellas. Especially cause they are still a bit underrepresented i felt like this would be a fun way to bring them in the spotlight ^^
