dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

The weird thing to me is why people don't just use existing euphemisms like "punched their own ticket" or "catch the bus" for suicide, or even just a different phrase that doesn't even count as a euphemism like "took their own life". Mangling words like this just feels unnatural.

not everyone knows these really

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

They can google "euphemisms for suicide" and their audience can google "what does x phrase mean"

Because unalive is one word rather than a full phrase that would take the whole of the screen for your tiktok.

Then use a synonym. Depending on the context, slay, destroy, exterminate, extirpate, snuff, etc. etc.
