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

To be honest, it's a bit annoying seeing even this place buy into the UK monarchy sensationalised twoddle.

Yes King dumb, no he's not so dumb he doesn't recognise cling film, no he doesn't rely on potions. He's just some guy who's in a stupid position and should be deposed.

no he doesn't rely on potions

Charles took an active role in trying to get the NHS to use homeopathy over multiple decades. The queen also had an official homeopathic physician.

Oh for sure, I'm not saying he's not touting nonsense. I was referring to some similar bogus news story saying he eschewed all healthcare in favour of potions, which was based solely on a throwaway remark by Nigel Farage of all people.

Yeah I'm just saying there's much more to this one than trite headlines.

Pretty decent summary. Dude is a dangerous moron and the day he dies will be a good one.

Once again, I fully agree. That isn't the headline I was referring to.

This place also loves leaning into making fun of how dumb Musk is, and I find it cringe for similar reasons. It’s still buying into the same circus

I already mentioned before to another commenter that I didn't take this seriously and used it as a vehicle for a joke about the King using it as a face-wrap because it'd be funny.
