Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Knock knock. Who's there? An unexpected car repair.
Oh, what’s that? A sudden toothache? Don’t worry, you just need a root canal!
For real, though, sometimes you can ignore tooth pain and it'll go away (kinda). I was getting really bad tooth pain when I was in grad school without any sort of meaningful health insurance, so I kept putting off going to the dentist and eventually the pain went away.
Fast forward 5 years when I finally get a job with dental coverage and I go in for a cleaning. They find out that one of my fillings has come loose (on the tooth that had the pain 5 years earlier) and they remove it and start to redrill. All of a sudden the dentist starts swearing and tells me that he "hit a pocket of infected pus and it started spraying out like an oil well," and it has likely been there since my toothache stopped. Turns out, if you ignore a bad infection long enough, the nerve in the tooth just dies and it doesn't hurt anymore!
One particularly nasty 5.5-hour root canal later, my teeth are better, but that was an experience I don't particularly care to repeat.
If I ignore it, it will go away!
