Post your memes here!

I remember back in 2014, my mom used memes to promote her business... I don't think she understood what a meme (she pronounced it "me-me") was and they weren't humorous at all.

Eh, the web designer/tech community has tended to use them for factual purposes as well as humorous ones. But it also wouldn't surprise me to learn that I am an old woman who doesn't get memes.

These ones seemed to work though:

And also, memes can be used for compassion and sympathy too:

I think it's just the risk I take on when I make my own memes as opposed to reposting the memes of others. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

Finally, the meme you're responding to is a little bit of a contextual joke from Real World Politics because Hans was talking about tests and kids failing them because of their disobedience. I pulled it loose from that context because I didn't want to clutter the topic, and didn't quote the post because I didn't want to be annoying. So much for that plan.

I got a little carried away with this image.

I like Anakin...

And I like Jar Jar Binks.

I don't like you... Just kidding. Or am I? But really, Jar Jar?!

Here's my original:

Eh, you do it better anyway, and the background swap above was intentional.

Hans_Oddcraft 2022-02-14 02:01:50 UTC #2730

I know, but I noticed you wrote over my other one on the other one.

Put it in the “lazy designer rough drafts” and add “is too lazy to watch a video to find an image” to my long list of evil attributes.

I was just testing a theory. It is, in fact, a highly masculine image and my early work with it evidences brutal gender-swapping, placing female names on the male characters. I realized that was problematic, so I switched it for the other background.

When I did, I noticed the contrast. The first image concentrates masculine energy on the left side of the picture because the two male characters are facing each other, and the female disapproval on the right hand side makes that concentration even worse, which at least part of what makes it amusing.

The second image dilutes the energy and the resulting memes are fairly weak. On the other hand, I always end up on the right hand side, (as evidenced by the three memes above) and since I rarely find myself disapproving of gentleman parents and their little boys, it’s hard to design from that position.

All right, designer intrigue over, point that no one cares about made. Moving on.

Our cat is evil.

Christopher_Puddlevest1 2022-02-20 22:22:50 UTC #2735

I edited that pic so it’s not the meme, and sent it to my friends who have a cat that terrifies me
