People seem super triggered by the oil memes.

You guys okay?

Don’t even talk to me until I’ve had my “nineteen of the same joke back to back” in the morning

[–] [email protected] 51 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just having 8 of them being spammed on the page at once. I'll say they were funny, and I'm american. But it quickly became spammy. At least spread them out over a few days

[–] words_number 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Honestly I found them especially funny because there were so many very different ones in a row xD

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

It's funny when it's different people organically and creatively jumping on the trend. Not so much when it's the same meme over top of different pictures, posted by the same person

We could bring up school shootings, but only kids would get it.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 10 months ago

We could bring up the issues with health care, but they can't afford it.

There's someone who posted like 5 america-bad based oil memes in the span of a few hours today.

Edit: I just scrolled further and there are even more now from the same person. Who hurt you, NOT_RICHARD?

[–] [email protected] 52 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (3 children)

9 now. Nobody hurt me, yesterday it was beans, today it's oil, who knows tomorrow?

I love that Lemmy is both small enough and big enough for this.

a single guy can raid several communities in a few hours just fueled with his hate and love for his cause. I love lemmyverse ❤

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Just block them - that’s what I did. Works well on Lemmy.

Well apparently the next post in my feed didn't get the memo.

Yeah, the OIL joke is 20 years old.

We have so much more you can make fun of.

While fitting, this is, unfortunatelly, a prank.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Especially since America is the worlds largest producer of oil now.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (5 children)

This butthurt post was brought to you by an american (propapbly)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Lol nope, just tired of seeing the same meme over and over again.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Imagine how tired we are of america fucking the world over and over. A meme is the least they should expect.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

If its got an interesting turn I don't mind it. But sure, reposts are annoying.

Funny thing is other Americans already picked up the talking point ^^^

Absolute mad lad.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Or, you know, block the single user posting what seems to be bothering you so much, and get on with your life?

Seriously, imagine feeling the need to, and then taking the time to make a meme about another random user on the internet whose content you don't like, and thinking you somehow have any high ground in this pathetic scenario.. 🤯🤦‍♀️😂

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Let's be specific, NOT_RICHARD is that user.

Funny enough, even though the memes are pretty stupid, the discussion on them are interesting.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

America bad is facts lol. But yeah, the oil jokes became overused years ago.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Has anyone posted one about Genocide Joe, yet? Saw that on Tumblr and luld.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Post it here! I haven't seen one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Me too. And despite all the pearl clutchers, it's still getting views so jokes on them.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Well, I posted it and it's in the super negatives...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just change it up once in a while

That's what the memes are trying to achieve!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Posts the same meme with a new skin over it every time

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Wait I got one original, let's bring up guns, we haven't done that to death!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Jesus Christ it’s so annoying 🤦‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

You know what Squidward? Fuck you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (5 children)

If only Americans cared about America being bad as much as they care about memes calling America bad. 😂
