Forgetting is not an Option

and that’s a good thing, 

because the roar of the sun would clock in at around 120db heard from earth, about the equivalent to having a train’s horn go off three feet from your face. 

And they recorded the planets too:

Bites The Dust! now this entire post will be reversed!

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 : )

NANCHANG – Chinese archaeologists have examined a batch of bamboo slips unearthed from a Western Han Dynasty (202 BC-8 AD) tomb and found they recorded the long-lost rules of “liubo”, an ancient Chinese board game.

More than 5,200 bamboo slips were excavated from the tomb of the Marquis of Haihun near Nanchang in eastern China’s Jiangxi Province. Over 1,000 of them were recently confirmed to be inscribed with the rules of liubo, according to the institute of excavated text research at Peking University, which is in charge of examining the items.

A pure white frog, barely the size of your fist, sitting idly in a lake.

An ancient hawk, its feathers graying and its beak notched with battle scars.

A platypus that swims in lazy circles just under the surface of the water. Its black fur glitters in the sunlight.

The largest stag beetle you’ve ever seen. Its iridescent green carapace is difficult to look at. It’s bigger even than an elephant.

A longhorn bull you spot on the horizon that appears to have horns made of agate.

A lynx that slinks through the shadows on four wooden paws, seemingly grown that way.

A small terrier who never seems to sleep, bark, or eat.

A sloth, so long undisturbed that moss covers its belly.

At first the gibbon sits so still it might be a statue made of pure gold, but as you draw near it lets out a piercing scream and swings off into the trees.

A chameleon whose colors change with your mood, rather than its surroundings.
