Sometimes it makes me sad to think how much humor like this will be lost when time removes the context that enables it

[–] AGuyAcrossTheInternet@fedia.io 44 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Time to get the Meme Collage of Alexandria going.

If that somehow catches on fire, you can at least re-establish the phrase "This meme is lit".

knowyourmeme.com + archive.org

I wasn't expecting a serious answer but you're absolutely right!

If you printed a bunch of memes you've collected, hung them in a gallery exhibit and for sale as pop artwork, would you be courting a legal storm, flying in from all directions?

[–] AGuyAcrossTheInternet@fedia.io 2 points 3 months ago

Absolutely yes. Which I'd also assume to be part of the reason brands coming around with memes are always so late to the party. The legal issues and getting the consent of all copyright holders (if even known at that point) is going to be a pain in any legal department's ass. I doubt it would be much different for a private meme exhibit.

Of course, by 2100, there would be a historical context to view it from.

This was, verbatim, what a child said during an interview. He stumbled and jumbled over his words, uttering this incomprehensible nonsense. Others, however, try to decipher his words and dare to gleam a sliver of truth of the secret machinations of the universe.

Still more coherent than trump

me 60 seconds ago: "there's no way he ended with "you want him to do you so much"

me now: 🌈

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

You want him to do you so much, you could do anything. About that anything....

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 6 points 3 months ago

Oh gosh, I've never actually seen the original before, only the countless memes. That hurt my heart, to see him become increasingly stressed out as he stumbled over his words, bless him. I was incredibly relieved to eventually get the sentence out and for him to relax into a smile.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's referencing a meme of a cute child who can barely put words together coherently. The child is trying to ask if you've ever had a dream in which you could do anything, or something like that.

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's really cute! The adult guy now gave an interview where he said kid him was trying to quote the Hercules movie

There's no connection between step 11 and 12

I don't understand how to traverse the graph at all, it seems like it's full of dead ends

[–] Alk@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Yeah it's missing several returns to you.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You read the things pointed to by the arrows in order. It is an attempt to detangle the stuttering into coherent sentences. The reason it is difficult to read is because it was difficult to understand what the kid was saying.

[–] ibt3321@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think another detail is that you read the thing at the base of the arrow before the tip if you didn't already say it or if what you just said isn't pointed to by it.

Great compression algorithm

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago

I think if you get to the end of a branch, you just look for the next number in the sequence and you warp there.

[–] remotedev@lemmy.ca 18 points 3 months ago

Sometimes I just start a sentence, and don't know where it's going

Have you ever stored your dreams in a DBMS?

[–] Siethron@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I feel like 'like' or 'be more like' is missing from this chart, or am I getting my memes mixed?

[–] zea_64@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 months ago

I took a CS math course, so I did indeed dream of DFAs
