The second brick is 17% SHIB coin increase

It's probably turtles all the way down, but I think "A British animators's email segment mispronounces 90s greeting" might be an even smaller domino.

[–] sukhmel@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago

What's the story? I think I never heard of that

[–] Curiousfur@lemmy.world 101 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (5 children)

My personal one

IIRC Pushback against "Unsafe at any speed" was the literal origin of the conservative think tank as a political movement. I think Behind the Bastards did an episode on it or maybe Stuff you missed in history class?

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Now you have to explain how they relate.

[–] Curiousfur@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I added a brief explanation

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 32 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

It was always Ralph Nader's fault.

(To the down voter: Ralph Nader fought to bring regulations for mandatory seat belts, among other life saving consumer safety issues he had a hand in. Man's a hero. Also, this is a joke. Ffs)

He might have blown the 2000 election for Gore and doomed the planet to runaway global heating.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

That was Chad's fault.

(And roger stone, and john Bolton, and the supreme court. And Pat Buchannon who was another 3rd party spoiler whom many ballots were accidentally cast. 20% of his votes came from that single county. Nothing strange at all.)

[–] jaxxed@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

The joke worked for me.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which part's a joke? I can't tell which of you think you're being funny.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Seat belts> Ralph Nader, ah fuckit, you're boring and humorless.

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 day ago

I think you overestimate your ability to communicate irony in text-only media.

Sorry I still don't really understand. What does "unsafe at any speed" mean?

[–] Curiousfur@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

It's a book by Ralph Nader calling out unsafe vehicle design in the 70's.

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 2 points 16 hours ago

Oh damn. I didn't realise just how ahead of his time (by Anglosphere standards) Nader was. We're 50 years on and just now are the evils of motornormativity starting to be more widely understood.

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 66 points 2 days ago

At least there's a Jamaican bobsled team somewhere in the middle

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry I'm OOTL. I presume this is the much wow shiba in memes but I didn't know this caused anything to america? Can someone fill me in about some of the dominos in-between please?

[–] Maven@lemmy.zip 36 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Musk and his love of memes just got appointed to a new government position at the Department Of Government Efficiency or D.O.G.E. for short.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

It should be said this is a newly created Department and its authorities are nebulous. Could have power over everything, nothing, or in between.

[–] herrwoland@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

And I was wondering why is doge coin trending so hard.

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Well… not yet. But it’s part of the circus Trump is planning

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is way better mirrored

also oof

[–] alsaaas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

To me the mirrored version just looks wrong

like you don't mirror or otherwise mutilate well-established meme templates

it's like an unspoken rule of the internet

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I like that it reads left to right! Yes, it’s also pretty uncanny haha

[–] RandomStickman@fedia.io 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Personally the original also reads left to right, the punch line being the starting domino being something that's seeming unrelated to the big final domino but both works, really

[–] GammaGames@beehaw.org 2 points 1 day ago

Fair point!

which one of those dominoes is my collection of rare pepes

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

They just lost all value. Post your rarest pepe or I'll report you to DOGE.

[–] lolola@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 7 hours ago

I don't know bout y'all but my rarest pepe was forged in the physical world with a pencil and a sheet of paper. It was so rare and powerful that I had to split it into 7 pieces and scatter them across the land.

I'm not sure where the pieces are now exactly. Last I heard, there were two competing search teams hunting for them, one being a ragtag team of inexperienced heart-of-gold types and the other being some sort of evil empire.

I figured it'd be best not to get involved.

[–] IzzyJ@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

If you had told me ten years ago that one day "°I will report you to doge" would be a valid sentence and a real threat, I wouldve died

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 3 points 15 hours ago

Upvote comments you reply to or I'll report you to DOGE!

Meant to post this as a response to my picture
