Remember when surreal memes started getting big and people acted like memes were just going to get more and more surreal until they're completely incomprehensible to the outside observer? Then ten years later it turns out the memes are just beans, corn, and the numbers 6, 7.

    ...people acted like memes were just going to get more and more surreal until they're completely incomprehensible...

    I mean, as far as I can tell, it basically happened and this is the result. I'm happy for the new generation of memers. They've made it their own and I'm totally for it

    Sorry if I've ever done it. I think I mostly keep it to the news/politics section, but it may have spilled over elsewhere. I know it's destroying my mental state completely. I've tried to stay quiet about it, it was even worse.

    I see.

    I just block posts that mentions trump, elon musk and white house.

    Then it's very balanced.

    I think a way to microwave corn on the cob went viral on tik tok or something. My partner insisted we make it last night. Even tho corn is hellla out of season. It was corn.
