Lol, being funny is so difficult for you that you assume every meme is the result of some sort of obsession?

I saw something dumb from .ml, instead of commenting I shared a joke. Whereas you saw something and shared a comment… It’s a bizzare hair you’re splitting.

But you think what you want and be wrong, as you are on it being ‘funny’. It’s not.

Lol, the votes say otherwise. Or are they all incorrect about what is funny?

You’re adorable.

I’m curious why making a meme means .ml is rent free in my head but you whining on this post doesn’t mean I’m rent free in yours…

Is being funny that alien to you?

What a strange little comments.

Am I rent free in your head?

And for some, that’s absolutely the best solution!

To me, the fediverse is already pretty small so I don’t like blocking and making it smaller. So, personally, my compromise is to see everything but consider the source before responding etc.

(And judicious use of piefed’s user note system; good ol’ vomitty face for the unpleasant non .ml folks and a big ol’ smile for the sane seeming .ml peoples!)

.world has its share of awful and part of why I rock piefed, but I chalk a lot of that up to essentially being the default instance.

Haha, sorry, shooting gallery is, admittedly old, slang for an area where people do drugs without consequence. Comes from when heroin was the big scourge.

In Vancouver, Hastings is a super sketchy area that breaks your heart to see (and sometimes, your bones. An elderly friend is in one of the social housing projects there and was hospitalized awhile ago after some asshole shoved her to the ground and stole her purse.) But it is also right next to one of the nicer touristy kind of areas so you’ll occasionally see very bewildered tourists or young folk new to the city terrified and out of place.

You’re not wrong!

I’m just shitty and kinda lazy. I’m usually trying to make memes between other things and after fussing about, don’t feel like spending the extra time to write it out.

I wish there was an option to outsource that to the community so folks who maybe don’t post as much could help by providing alt texts or something.

My last .ml meme was 2 months ago. I guess I should be proud that it bugged you enough to burn into your memory like that?

But yeah, warning new fediverse users that there are awful places and the whole fediverse ain’t like that, well, that seems a polite way to improve the user experience and help new folks.

I love my city but I also generally warn visitors about our open air shooting gallery a few hundred meters away from the entertainment district for much the same reason.

The best jokes have a lot of truth to them!

Nope.

Ahaha, A+ comment.

Ooooooooh, that’s good thinking. They are literally my favourite youtube thing and I’d be even more gutted if corpo took them away.

Honestly, if it was Werner Herzog asking instead of my folks… Maybe.

I was pretty choked when I saw that. I’d been excited for them to finish the new series and I was even going to get ready and probably finally watch episode 9.

Awww man, I hadn’t made that association. Happily, the bit is too good to ruin. (Not your fault and glad you enjoyed it!)

Ha, amazing! Admittedly, I’m at the age where whenever one of my good drinking friends orders a non alcoholic beverage, it’s usually followed by an explanation, and because we’re us, a good percentage of the time that explanation does involve gestating a tiny new person.

Ha, the music absolutely makes it work! Have you listened to Craven In Outer Space"s solo stuff? His synthwave remix of Hit Me Baby One More Time is genuinely one of my favourite songs of 2025. (Concerning Hobeats is up there too)

Auralnauts! And yup, the Bane rap is great.

More recenrly, one of them made this 75 second masterpiece:

I had never heard of Backstroke before, just looked it up and cannot wait to watch it sometime!

Thanks for sharing the much more appropriate link!

Their stuff is so damned good. Existential Stormtroopers always cracks me up.

The meme is actually an attempt to exorcize Babytime from my head, where it’s been stuck for the better part of a week.
