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

If they actually stuck to the shanties, I would listen to the hell out of this radio station.

There are only so many shanties, though. I would recommend filling the remaining broadcast time with ambient sounds of the ocean, so as to prevent shanty exhaustion.

Oh shit, you can even fold the shanties into the ambient ocean sounds diegetically.

"Ship spotted to starbord! Shiver me timbers, it be the vessel of The Wellermen and they be about to treat us to the classic tune o' [song name] recorded upon the year of our lord [publication date]"

The hard part would be setting this up and keeping up the broadcast without having to resort to advertising...

Pirate radio kicks ass. One of the tragedies of our time is commercialization of the air waves. Love to have 3 stations all owned by I heart that play the same tired 2000s pop hits, dad rock, or a blend of both

One of my computer science professors in college used to run a pirate radio station. At certain points of the day he'd broadcast software he wrote. As in you'd record the broadcast audio it to a tape and stick it in your Commodore's datasette deck and it would work. Wild times

There was a baby boy once that only had those broadcasts played to him in the crib. His name? Mark Zuckerberg

They have a morning drive time (sail time?) shock jock duo called Starboard Steve and the Boatswain who run a contest where people drink bilge water for the chance to win an exclusive autographed Stan Rogers album.
