Truth is just an opinion. Whatever was said most eloquently and with more confidence was probably truer. There needn't be any fact checking other than two people each saying a thing, the one who's right will simply sound right to anyone, regardless of any pre-existing bias. /S

Because more people?

Wouldn't make sense for the moon to be different than the god since it's named after him (hence why they chose that name for a moon of Pluto, lord of the underworld).

If this is the context, I believe it has nothing to do with gays or twinks.

Just a sad anime image meant to convey an emotional response, according to Tineye, first seen around 2016, on pages no longer reachable.

First memetized around 2017, with the following image : même

Translated labels from left to right : "Your new 'waifu of the season'", "you", "Your waifu, to whom you'd vowed eternal love". At this stage, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree: The meme is still aimed at the weeb community that saw its birth, and still makes use of the context implyed by the image.

But to interpret what comes next, you must take into account the rise of "cringe" culture in the early 2020s. Former memes, deemed "cringe", saw a new birth under several layers of irony to highlight their absurd nature. Here is another meme that underwent the same fate : https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/im-fine

This era also saw the appearance of the words "pog", "poggers" and "pogchamp", all of which quickly became cringe. The above meme can therefore be interpreted as a pile of cringe meant to be absurd.

What about burgers? The burger also has a place in meme culture. can I has cheeseburger

Declaring one's taste for a trash food or another belongs to another memetic trop, that of appearing relatable and whimsical. Most old memes using this trope appear cringe by today's standard. The image may be a meta-meme about itself, describing the memer's transition from pre-cringe to post-cringe culture, from "burgers" to "poggers", and burying the image macros under countless layers of irony.

Maybe you're missing out naan.

Hitting that is considered a bad thing?!

No one said they did everything themselves, they don't mind outsourcing !

The sun can also use souls as a comburant. It's kept alight by the stores of sacrifices it's accumulated over time. But sacrifices aren't as common and the stocks are running down... Thankfully, there are some secret organisations handling this problem.

Thank you! This year's even harder, but I'm hanging on!

As someone who's not a developer at all and has been making a comic about systemd for a rather small audience, it's worse than you think: We actually have stuff to do and procrastinate on them while spending time and thoughts in this, reading old blog posts and forum debates as if deciphering Sumerian epic poems. Many pages were made while I was supposed to be preparing for exams, which I barely passed. Others when I should've been cleaning up for moving. I think part of the reason why I haven't made any in a while is that with a faithful audience being born and waiting for the next chapter, it's started feeling like something I had to do, and therefore, the type of stuff I procrastinate on.

For context, the post I'm referring to is a map of Africa with subsaharia Africa in deep green, Sudan in light green and north Africa was white or some other color. The poster was claiming nothing had ever been invented in the green zone. My comment was gonna be this:

Antiseptics before Europeans.

Iron Smelting Not the first to discover it, but recent evidence show it was invented independently.

Sudano-Sahelian Architecture

Some modern Archtecture taking inspiration from Sudano-Sahelian features such as a roof shape favoring natural ventilation. And since I just transitioned to recent inventions, there's the Cardio Pad, invented in Cameroon, to help diagnose cardiovascular disease.

I know we now know they went extinct 66 million years ago, and 64 millions is another date I've seen around, but how long how we known it was definitely way more than 40 millions ? I'm asking because it's the date given in the the song "walk the dinosaurs" by Was (Not Was), and I wondered why such a number. Would it have seed credible at the time, or was it just arbitrary?

 

It was so bad Ever on and on, I continue circling With nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony 'Til slowly I forget and my heart starts vanishing And suddenly I see that I can't break free I'm slipping through the cracks of a dark eternity With nothing but my pain and the paralyzing agony To tell me who I am, who I was, uncertainty Enveloping my mind 'til I can't break free and

Maybe it's a dream, maybe nothing else is real But it wouldn't mean a thing if I told you how I feel So I'm tired of all the pain, of the misery inside And I wish that I could live feeling nothing but the night You can tell me what to say, you can tell me where to go But I doubt that I would care, and my heart would never know If I make another move, there'll be no more turning back Because everything will change and it all will fade to black
