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

I think for most English speakers, "Mortadella Bologna" and "Bologna sausage" are separate things, with the latter being like a completely homogenous tube of meat slop, and anything that has actual bits and chunks of stuff separated inside of it getting called "Mortadella".

In Polish both things are called mortadela, though the homogenous tube is more popular.

Mortadella was banned for import to the US from the 1960's to early 00's, so there isn't a very large cultural footprint here for it. Americans might (incorrectly) call it a "Summer Sausage" if not just think of it as gross bologna (they prefer the fat content of their cured meats to be obfuscated by the meat obelisk.)
