And summary execution is even worse!

Yeah, but the point of the thread is it’s not an automatic death sentence.

It’s because he doesn’t have them.

I’d say it’s more a burden for the person making the claim that goes against reality. Imminent death is not in the least a common progression of getting knocked out.

If one does watch and enjoy it, I recommend they do not watch the sequel.

Sounds like a storage medium to add to the Hard drives we don’t want or need list.

Who doesn’t like a good gummie?

You are not putting me in that tacky ass Velcro wallet on a chain…

Yeah, it’s not really that much, but it’s precisely for that reason that I know after paying for my own necessities, I can’t afford mini-mes. And let’s not even get started on the emotional baggage I picked up in childhood that keeps me convinced to this day it’s best to just not perpetuate a negative cycle my family seems stuck in.

How I do love that sweet, sweet expendable income.

How’d the professor like it? Sounds like an interesting topic, I’d hope it was a good grade.

Well, you’re going to have a bad time on the internet, where the vast majority of people aren’t interested in catering their speech to a general audience to your or anyone’s individual preferences. The “general audience” aspect of public forums on the internet is why I’m not directly addressing you - I, nor I doubt many others here, give two shits that using a bit of hyperbole or exaggeration, particularly when making a flippant comment about something as trivial as how old a meme is, gives @three@lemm.ee the ick.

At any rate, I can’t be bothered to take this thread as seriously as you, so I’m going to be disengaging now.

The main point they were making is that the meme is particularly old, pre-dating the modern Internet - the dominant medium of memes. As such, you could certainly say, perhaps somewhat hyperbolically, that it’s one of the first. Not sure why some people expect whatever another writes in an internet comment to be 100%, to-the-letter, literally true, when that’s not at all how we use language from day to day.

They didn’t say it was “the first.”

Ok…?

Sounds like a qualification for Cirque du Soleil.

I’m in my mid 30s and heard this rumor in middle school, it’s definitely old. At the time it was supposedly Marilyn Manson who did it.

Do you want basilisks? Because this is how you get basilisks.

Ironic that god’s a lefty. Wait until the ruler-wielding nuns get to him.

I’d love to work in Antarctica. I’d never pass the psych evaluation, though. Would be just my luck I’d have one of my major depression episodes and decide it’s a good idea to go freeze to death in the frozen desert. Given how great my last few days have been, it honestly doesn’t sound like a terrible idea now.
