these colored status updates are the dumbest fucking things

The worst.

Yeah I don't know why people are doing those; it seems to elevate idle banter to meme or quote status. Which is great if your random daily thoughts are in fact profound, but it just looks silly otherwise.

Was it in this thread that someone linked in a blog post about the epistemology of the shitpic?

It was a fairly long discussion about how no one takes a meme seriously if it looks clean. Because it hasn't been copied / cropped / compressed / overwritten, that must mean that no one has liked it enough to steal and rework it yet. So it must not be a very profound thought.

That's what I think of when I see those status updates. You're just saying what you had for breakfast; it's not an epic takedown or universal truth. Maybe if it was all covered with jpg artifact pixels, a bad attempt to clone over someone else's logo, and a stupid faux-copyright mark, THEN people would think it was profound.

Now I want to open a business where I make people's ordinary status updates look like beloved Xerox lore from the early 90s.

A pristine-looking meme engenders skepticism — “This can’t be that funny, it hasn’t been imperfectly replicated enough.” But when you see that blurry text, partially cut off by the top of the frame, and a heavily compressed picture of Kermit below… that’s when you know: This is gonna be a good-ass meme.

this is also good along similar lines https://medium.com/message/god-tier-facebook-moms-run-the-meme-game-1e56ef0d31ec

I hadn't seen these coloured things before but I saw my first one today:

man 13 year old Prince was a savvy investor

thank god michael jordan became a billionaire shoe mogul, never would've made a name for himself otherwise

was a miracle that Jerry Reinsdorf saw him sitting in that Nike store and said "son, have you ever tried playing ball?", and the rest was history

imo it is 'punching down' to be making fun of the ppl who make these and you all should be ashamed of yourselves

did you go into a coma while posting in the Chappelle thread last week and wake up here 5 minutes ago?

did some research and sourced the meme to george soros

was he in the Beatles

yes but he's best known for his lucrative partnership with keds

Rubber Sole makes more sense now

imo it is 'punching down' to be making fun of the ppl who make these and you all should be ashamed of yourselves

Good, good

Sometimes it's punching down, sometimes not. Probably not punching down in so far as the person really means it, bad implications and all, as opposed to just phrasing something reasonable badly

+80000 amen's in comment section

yeah but how many ignores?

Surprising to see Univers there but I can't IGNORE the lack of kerning.

a guy just printed out an email, scanned it, and sent me the scan. i gotta ask if he makes memes

when I was young I thought that life was so logical

That dude, however, has no respect. I blame his kid's granddad.

Seeing the phrase 'disrespectful little shit' come up a lot in these memes, which you know, the willingness to reflexively describe a child using those terms whilst complaining about the lack of respect in society doth protest too much etc

Nah, we never wore helmets in those days

that chin strap is the only thing holding that kid's face together

'Before all the pussies took over' lol klaus thewelheit to threaf

Punch his lights out four times to 'Like'

Logical Men

He hasn't had a motorcycle accident, those marks are from his father's righteous fist, before all this "spare the rod" squishiness came along

These memes always remind me of the Stewart Lee bit about how his grandmother mixes up political correctness with health and safety. So much rage at common sense safety measures.

evidence suggests that many serial killers suffered traumatic head injury in childhood, so i presume that this kid today has belt made from human ears he harvested himself

Ok, I don't get this at all. What's going on here?
