I missed Lemmy for ONE day and what the hell is up with the Saddam Hussein meme everywhere?

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The Pillars of Lemmy.

Beans, Linux, Jeans, Communism, Saddam Hussein.

Just the way the wheel turns.

They're like the tides. We're currently in a Beans run, and it's been going for awhile. Soon, people will get bored, and Jeans- or Denimposting will come back. You'll normally see some crossover(beans in some jeans, jeaned Beanis, jeans with a bean pattern) before the next shift is complete.

I haven't missed Lemmy for one day and I am so confused.

That's cause it's all just one guy

I didn’t notice until you pointed it out. This is some high effort shit posting.

Edit: I take some of the effort part back. Looks like it’s reposts of existing memes.

/u/fossilesque is having a revival

NCD is leaking

Yeah I didn't see that yesterday. But that's how the internet is. To be fair, I'm pretty online but I somehow managed to miss the "John Cena doesn't exist" joke since always so when it started showing up all over a vid I saw, I got really confused. I still don't know where the hell that one came from, but I also don't give a fuck about John Cena so.

These specific virus types are so machine like, I can't help but imagine they are intelligently designed by some alien life. Everything else looks organic and kinda random because of natural selection; these fuckers look purpose built.

[–] TheHarpyEagle@pawb.social 15 points 10 months ago

Funnily enough, Steven Universe used this exact concept for some alien technology.

Well, they've been evolved to serve the purpose of injecting their DNA/RNA. So of course they look like they serve that purpose? Your argument is also used by creationists to somehow squeeze their god into all of this by saying "this looks too perfect, this must have been made by something external, i.e. god"...

[–] Stitch0815@feddit.org 1 points 10 months ago

Ever seen other non-enveloped viruses?

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

For anybody else who hasn't seen this before today, I went and looked it up. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/saddam-husseins-hiding-place
