why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

I like how the list gets progressively more ridiculous. They put some thought into it.

I think most memes of this ilk are bored folk who want to play an IRL game of telephone and see how far their prank can spread and how much it can morph after it's circulated through thousands of morons.

at least, that sounds like something I'd do.

nothing is funnier than when I get the meme-forward at work warning us to be careful about pumping gas, because someone is hiding needles infected with AIDS under the pumps.

It used to be needles in the change return slot of pay phones but they don't make those anymore.

It is stuck to your window, and be thankful that you read this email.

you guys laugh, but when I laugh the razorblade scar in my mouth from that apple I got when trick-or-treating when I was eight years old hurts and it triggers an acid flashback from the acid I unwittingly took by putting a sticker from a stranger on my skin when I was five

real men, earlier today

This one got sent around my workplace about five years ago.

I got as far as "gents, pass this onto any women you know", because, obv, women can't work computers, etc.

Funny thing is, if you refute these things to the person who passed it onto you, they can get rather sulky..

My opening reply started: "It's always a good idea to lock your car when going to pay, people nick things. But..." and so on.

Besides which, its much harder than that to join the Hartley Wintney massive.

My favourite is probably the attempted kidnap/gang initiation story, how the guy is all o hai i was going to kidnap this woman so me and the rest of the SE20 Cut Dem Up Crew could gang rape her kthxbai

Snopes has line-by-line refutations of most of those line-by-line things (e.g. Ted Bundy didn't walk with a cane, throwing yr handbag away is rubbish thing to do, etc)

I guess one day a baby is going to die of exposure on someones doorstep because of this stuff

Or, at the very least, not get a free tape player.

my favorite is the stock pic of a baby on life support with scary block text that says IF THIS BABY GETS 1,000 LIKES, HIS HEART SURGERY IS FREE.

"Sorry, he had a good run, but we're locked in at 985 here. Pull the plug."

IF THIS PUPPET GET 1,000 LIKES, HE GETS TO DECIDE WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES

I URGE ALL MY FRIENDS TO READ & SHARE THIS; YOU COULD SAVE A LOVED ONES LIFE BY KNOWING THIS SIMPLE INFORMATION!!! Stroke has a new indicator! They say if you forward this to ten people, you stand a chance of saving one life. Will you send this along?

[bizarre anecdote about a woman having a stroke at a bbq and dying]

[reasonable advice on 'stroke indicators']

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. I have done my part. Will you?

if misusing semicolons is 'doing my part', then no

OMFG PEOPLE

Haha!

I always thought it was "I guess the rain's down in Africa."

I guess it rains down in Africa? I mean, I dunno.

Not that I ever thought it out, but my impression was that there was some guy in England pondering the drought and he's like, I guess the rain's down in Africa. Also, something about My Fair Lady.

Sorry if this phenomena has been covered (11000 posts wtf) but after the app has been around for a good while, many of my friends have finally discovered bit strips and now the feed is full of them.

I kinda hate that everybody identifies as a 'nerd' these days, even if their only claim is they saw three of four episodes of Small Wonder in the 80s and still remember the robot's name is Vicki. WHOOP-DE-FUCKIN-DOO

Gen. Douglas MacArthur was such a nerd.
