Better than beans and Stroganoff.

...I think.

[–] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You take that back! Beanposting was peak content

[–] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

It was the best week of my life

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I missed stroganoff and beans. Have we done guacamole posting?

[–] PopcornPrincess@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Be the change you want to see.

Guac on your mom still costs extra, though.

Something something chickpea

You know it. She got that high class dip.

It's less about "new content" on Lemmy and more about "I have a social media addiction and need constant content to satisfy my insatiable media habit". A lot of us are guilty of this, me included.

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 year ago

Honestly, I've been enjoying not having an infinite amount of content to scroll through anymore. I get off of it a lot more and do other things. It's been nice.

Plus, memes last longer on here. I started falling behind on Reddit every week. Here a meme might last up to a month

Look, I don't put up with it when my therapist says this shit to me and I'm certainly not gonna take it from some internet rando! Quit attacking me and say something funny about Taylor Swift's acorn tricorder

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm in this comment and I don't like it

[–] N0x0n@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is sad, but true ! But I have to say that lemmy decreased my binge scrolling I had with reddit, so it partially solved that addiction.

I used to be into sadism, necrophilia, and bestiality… but then I realized I was just beating a dead horse.

Jarvis generate an airplane getting hit with an acorn flying into Will Poulter.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Congratulations, Tony. You've invented a new ~~element~~ tragedy.

[–] anticurrent@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't understand how some people worship Pop idols and defend them against any criticism, doesn't matter how many private jets you own if you end up taking the same amount of flights on one jet or three jets. one Private jet is already one too many in the context of combating climate change.

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

I haven't said anything on the subject before, because I don't care very much, but I don't know what the alternative is supposed to be. It's not like someone who is that famous can walk into a public airplane without putting her own safety at risk and causing trouble for other passengers.

It's also well known that conservatives really hate her because she told her fans to vote and these memes are part of their effort to discredit her. Whether the point has any merit or not, it's obvious who started the trend and who it's helping.

[–] Mighty@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
  1. you don't need to fly everywhere.
  2. you can totally fly first class. damn she can afford to have first class to herself.
  3. even if the private flight is the "logical" step, you can still critizise it. things can be complex.
  4. it's a small and complex balance to keep supporting women in art and still shitting on billionaires, but we can do it.
[–] exocrinous@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The people defending Swift don't worship her, they're just scared she's being criticized for the wrong reasons. They think everyone calling her a polluter is lying or mistaken about their political motivations, and is actually influenced by misogyny.

Everyone, no.

A lot of people joining a bandwagon started by a few who started for that reason, sure.

It won't matter one bit though, and T Swift acorn bombing a pig is pure meme gold.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Noooo you can't make new memes or enjoy lemmy-specific content! We need political memes and 5th-generation Facebook reposts ONLY!

[–] pigup@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When does this meme apply to itself and we stop getting a new version every week like it's the fuckin weekly meme gazette?

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I was expecting a recursion where the last one is this meme in itself.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 13 points 1 year ago

Wrap it all up in a twitter screenshot please

[–] taanegl@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

When Lemmy is Lemmy with Lemmy:

"Wait, Lemmy is Lemmy?"

"Lemmy."

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've been meaning to ask... What's up with the Taylow Swift = airplane memes?

[–] Denvil@lemmy.one 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

She takes her private jet absolutely everywhere, to the detriment of the environment

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Oh, ok. I was expecting something more damning, but I guess that goes against her public image.

Thanks.

[–] Early_Insurance_3334@lemmy.ca 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also her lawyers sent a letter to the person who tracks her flights to stop so that put her even more in the spotlight.

[–] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This is actually the real problem, which makes me feel like the memes are justified. They really didn't start showing up til the C&D anyway (AFAIK).

I'm a feminist and left-leaning guy, I'm certainly not gonna go after her for being a woman or for her "politics"* - or appreciate jokes that seek to do so, as people are trying to imply in this case. But trying to avoid the deserved scrutiny of hiding her flight plans is pretty shitty and it's fair to razz her for it

(* "go vote" is so barely politics it's not worth truly acknowledging it as such)

Apparently she recently took a 13 minute flight on her private jet. That's a pretty bad look.

[–] w2tpmf@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

She might not have even been on the plane. It's pretty common for private jets to have short flights like that to move them to get serviced.
