Star Wars Memes

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

==========

Other universes to visit:

!lotrmemes@midwest.social

!tenforward@lemmy.world

Separatist systems:

!prequelmemes@lemmy.world

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

!star_wars@lemmy.world

!starwars@lemmy.ml

!starwarstelevision@lemmy.world

==========

IMPORTANT

Please do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

==========

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

I watched that yesterday and I don't have the heart to stop giving chocolate to my daughter, but I don't know that I'll be eating it any longer.

On my life I didn’t click the link but I know it’s that John Oliver episode and I’m scared to watch it because I love chocolate. I know that’s selfish but I don’t have a lot of just for me things I enjoy and I’m loathe to take one away.

That’s almost literally everything we consume in modern society. It all has costs that hurt someone along the way. Exploitation is a part of capitalism. Only you can draw your line in the sand.

Would it help to know how much lead and cadmium are in many chocolates?

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It would do the opposite of help unless by “help” you mean “encourage me to make better decisions about my health and wellness”

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The latter. I also love chocolate but between op and the heavy metals I am also facing an unhappy choice.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I told my wife and daughter today that I wouldn't be eating chocolate anymore and when I asked why, I said, "I'll tell you, but only if you want me to ruin chocolate for you forever." They opted not to know.

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Easily the worst type of choice

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Definitely do not watch it if you want to keep eating chocolate.
