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

Nah they never do well at table tennis and badminton. East Asian countries tend to dominate those.

The speed and accuracy of Chinese table tennis players blows my mind. Those matches are wild af.

I honestly couldn't tell you. I feel like the only notable American names I'm familiar with are the Williams sisters. Everyone else I know is Italian, French, Spanish, or Russian.

Not unless it's an armed racket, then it's the best, as Smedley Butler wrote a long time ago already.
