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

What about learning these phrases instead:

  • I believe
  • I seem to recall
  • As I understand it
  • It seems to me that
  • In my experience

In other words, make it clear to the reader what your level of skill or knowledge is.

Whilst chewing on that, consider adding a source if you have one (or six).

Source: I've been here a while and it's stood me in good stead during online (and offline) conversation over the decades.

Me: My understanding is [nuanced take on subject I do know about] but that's just what I read in [multiple good sources]
