You were saying?

Thanks 🙏 it’s one of the best movies, I always watch it when I’m sick.

Do people actually consider sharing memes "stealing"? Or is that just a joke some people took seriously.

[–] WYLD_STALLYNS@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, some do. People get territorial over the strangest stuff.

That's hilarious

I post a lot to Lemmy, and the majority of the ones I share are stolen from elsewhere on the internet. I've only personally made like 10 or so, so far.

Occasionally someone takes offense.

I just think it's funny since a meme is literally something that's shared.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Exactly! I'd be thrilled if anyone ever reshared one that I've made. That's what they're for.

Right? Shit I'm happy with a few upvotes and a comment lol

Exactly, yet there’s always a few sour apples pissing in the barrel. 🙄

I’d be thrilled if something I made was reposted, even without credit. In a place where memes go by so fast, it’s nice to be reminded of a classic!

Coincidence? I think not! 🤣

Also this doesn't have enough JPEG artifacts

I’ll try compressing it lol, see how shitty it can get.

True. It needs to have cutoff watermarks from a website no one's ever heard of too

[–] MazonnaCara89@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

You and the other reposter won

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

I can still hear him speaking the line every time it’s said lol.
