Community Rules

  1. Must be a wholesome meme All posts must be wholesome memes: uplifting, life-affirming, or nice-ing up a rude meme. Photos or screenshots without superimposed text, as well as social media posts, are not memes.

  2. Be general, not specific Memes should be relatable, with universally uplifting themes. Avoid posts that promote an ideology, religion, or brand over others, & posts that show individuals' politeness without some universal theme. Memes about controversial themes, people, and/or institutions are not allowed either.

  3. No NSFW content Please avoid submitting NSFW content. PG-13 is fine, but please tag those "NSFW" for young or sensitive users.

  4. No trolling, harassing, or general rudeness Please no trolling, harassment, rudeness, or behaviour unbecoming of the wholesome users we know you to be. Keep comments civil and be respectful of your fellow users. Be nice. This is a happy place. No proselytizing. Keep your religion, your politics, your diet, and any other crusade you might carry to yourself. We come here to get away from arguing and politics and the like, so please respect that by keeping your agendas to yourself.

  5. No personal info or private communication Please do not post personal info, yours or others. All names should be blocked out, except public figures. Also, private communication & private posts are private; please don't post them here.

  6. Post must link to image directly. Please link to images directly. This makes browsing easier for those using RES or through a mobile device

  7. Low Effort Meme Please do not submit low effort memes or mention upvotes in your post.

This includes "Let's get this to the front page!" type posts, "You have been visited by", "people who sort by new", "stop scrolling", Low effort memes include: Skyrim "Wholesome 100", "You're Breathtaking", Thanos "That does put a smile on my face", [happiness noises], Fallout [Everybody liked that], and "Because that's what heroes do". This isn't an exhaustive list, but I think you get the idea!

  1. No reposts Avoid posting memes that have already been posted to this sub. Fresh content is vital. We may allow a repost at our discretion, if it has not already been a frontpage post, and if it has been over 6 months since it was last posted here. Do not spam or post more than 3 memes in a 24 hour period.

  2. Please make an effort with your title Set your post up for success. "Does this fit here?" helps nobody. Being funny or descriptive helps. And trying is good.

Probably if he's laying over a row of crops instead of deliberately orienting himself

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

I think he’s laying over a row of crops in the photo.

My dad told me a story once.

When he was young (1950's), he and his dad were spraying a field in the Mississippi Delta. He decided to get off the tractor to walk around and try to catch some toads. He eventually got tired and found some flowers, picked them and laid down to take a nap holding the flowers over his belly. At the end of the day his dad started looking for him. After a while his dad found him, laying in the field with flowers over his belly. He thought he was dead.

The mole people had a funeral for him?

This guy's dad was Mark Twain's inspiration!

That's how you get an asymmetrical sunburn.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago

That's why you lay on the other side the next day

Why does she write like that

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Her grandfather sleeps in a fucking field despite likely owning a bed.

I’m pretty sure there is a connection.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Why did they walk to the middle of the field? Are they checking the onions?

[–] Facelikeapotato@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

He wants to be one with the onions. One-ions?

Grade Point Average. Mine was a 3.9 in high school and a 4.0 in college. I'm so much smarter than most people on this site. 😎

[–] Drusas@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Thank you! There was a time when I knew this, but I forgot.

I graduated high school in 2003. That initialism has fallen out of my vocabulary.

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Eh, I graduated in 2006 and it's still in my vernacular.

[–] KIM_JONG_JUICEBOX@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I graduated in 1998 and it’s in my vermicelli.

[–] Sharpiemarker@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Waiter there some vernacular in my vermicelli

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Out standing in his field.

[–] Facelikeapotato@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

You might say he's... an outlier. (Puts on sunglasses)

[–] GreenPlasticSushiGrass@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe I don't understand onion farming, but don't you dig them up, rather than cutting the green part and letting the rest go brown?

[–] Facelikeapotato@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you let the tops brown so the onions can dry out a little before you dig them up, but I'm no onionologist.

[–] KIM_JONG_JUICEBOX@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

This guy maybe onions.

[–] WhyIDie@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

"We napped uphill. Both ways."
