WEā€™VE HIT TERMINAL MEME

@caesarianconfection

Iā€™ve saidĀ ā€œI hate thisā€ so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, becauseĀ ā€œI hate thisā€ is just shorthand forĀ ā€˜this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasnā€™t expecting with intent to surpriseā€™. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.
But thisā€¦ This is something else.
The rapidity of a memeā€™s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, youā€™ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. Itā€™ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeareā€™s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.
For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?

ā€¦.I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE

it is a YMCA reference - thatā€™s one of the 6 memes being represented here
ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)
this first lyric replacement (ā€take the breadsticks and runā€) is a reference to the tumblr meme ā€˜stuffing breadsticks into my purseā€™. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. thatā€™s meme two (2)
ā€œman door hand hook car doorā€ is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the genericĀ ā€˜stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill usā€™ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)
ā€˜gunā€™ isā€¦ yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to ā€œman door hand hook car doorā€ for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)
and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomesĀ meme five (5)
which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)
(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think iā€™ve ever seen. the initialĀ ā€˜young manā€™ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock memeĀ ā€˜gunā€™ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)

I wasnā€™t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkennaā€˜s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.

average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted

it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpgā€™s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000ā€™s rage comics

I was getting a political compass vibe too

    Long Story Short: Have you ever had a job
 where you did nothing for
 years and nobody found out?
 Shayne Wyatt
 Answered Sep 22
 Once worked at a steel company and there used
 to be this guy with a clipboard and pen who
 would continually be in the stock area checking
 labels, boxes, pallets, shipping packages. His
 name was Bob and everyone liked him, he was
 personable, was into sports, just an all round
 nice guy who got along with everyone staff,
 managers, bosses, everyone. Bob had been with
 the company all of 15 years by then, and you
 have to understand, this was a large steel mill
 with a couple thousand people working
 throughout the three mills on the same
 property. Anyway, at a managers meeting a
 decision was made to have an employee look
 after a certain area of finished nails, screws,
 nuts and bolts. They were scratching their head

 about who had the brains to handle it. One of
 the managers said, "Why not Bob?" Everyone
 knew right away who he was referring to and
 they all agreed he would probably be the best
 man for the job. The next question out of the
 manager's mouth was "Okay, which one of you
 guys does he work for?" And no one said a
 word, but looked around the table at the other
 managers. "C'mon, he's gotta work for someone
 here." The manager said, and still there was no
 answer. Someone piped up, "Maybe he works
 for one of the office managers." Long story
 short Bob worked at the plant for over 15 years,
 collecting a paycheck each and every week. For
 the first five years he worked in a department
 that became obsolete and so people were
 moved around to other areas of the mill, except
 for Bob. He got lost in the shuffle and found
 himself floating here and there without
 supervision or anyone ever paying attention to
 him. He waited to see if he would still get a
 paycheck and when that happened he thought
 at the time, "Well, I wonder how long I can get
 away with this before someone notices?" How

 about 10 years folks of weekly paychecks
 coming in without ever having had to work a
 day in his life. When this came out it was the
 talk of the whole operations and even reached
 the president of the company who could only
 laugh at the whole situation. Nonetheless Bob
 was let go, but HR told them they had to offer
 him a good severance package because he was
 an employee after all for the full 15 years he was
 there, and it was not his fault he had nothing to
 do. Management should have caught it in the
 beginning. I'm 75 now and this happened when
 I was still a young man, and had pretty much
 forgotten about it all until I read the question
 and I could not hold back a big silly grin about a
 wonderfully silly memory of Bob.
 Thanks for the memory

 after a certain area of finished nails, screws,
 nuts and bolts. They were scratching their head

 about who had the brains to handle it. One of
 the managers said, "Why not Bob?" Everyone
 knew right away who he was referring to and
 they all agreed he would probably be the best
 man for the job. The next question out of the
 manager's mouth was "Okay, which one of you
 guys does he work for?" And no one said a
 word, but looked around the table at the other
 managers. "C'mon, he's gotta work for someone
 here." The manager said, and still there was no
 answer. Someone piped up, "Maybe he works
 for one of the office managers." Long story
 short Bob worked at the plant for over 15 years,
 collecting a paycheck each and every week. For
 the first five years he worked in a department
 that became obsolete and so people were
 moved around to other areas of the mill, except
 for Bob. He got lost in the shuffle and found
 himself floating here and there without
 supervision or anyone ever paying attention to
 him. He waited to see if he would still get a
 paycheck and when that happened he thought
 at the time, "Well, I wonder how long I can get
 away with this before someone notices?" How

 about 10 years folks of weekly paychecks
 coming in without ever having had to work a
 day in his life. When this came out it was the
 talk of the whole operations and even reached
 the president of the company who could only
 laugh at the whole situation. Nonetheless Bob
 was let go, but HR told them they had to offer
 him a good severance package because he was
 an employee after all for the full 15 years he was
 there, and it was not his fault he had nothing to
 do. Management should have caught it in the
 beginning. I'm 75 now and this happened when
 I was still a young man, and had pretty much
 forgotten about it all until I read the question
 and I could not hold back a big silly grin about a
 wonderfully silly memory of Bob.
 Thanks for the memory

Kayla Renee ParkerĀ shared her story of how she managed to expose her racist teacher who appeared to be a wolf in sheepā€™s clothing.


ā€œShe wears a safety pin so everyone knows sheā€™s an ally for minorities. Her cover photo has a Black power fist. She regularly discusses her love for the Obamas, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and her admonishment for this current administration.ā€


However, it wasnā€™t enough to hide her racism.Ā 
It all started with a simple question from a test. The question stated,Ā 
ā€œHistorical research on African-American families during slavery shows that: A) Family ties werenā€™t important in African cultures where the slaves ancestors originated; consequently, family bonds were never strong among slaves. B) Two-parent families were extremely rare during the slave period. C) Black family bonds were destroyed by the abuses of slave owners, who regularly sold off family members to other slave owners. D) Most slave families were headed by two parents.


So, obviously, Kayla chose C. And it was incorrect. According to the teacher, the right answer was D.
The argument started when Kayla wrote her an email and respectfully provided the professor the evidence, even directly from their textbook. ā€œHowever, my Professor continued to argueĀ that family bonds were not destroyed and that 2/3 of slave families were headed by two parents.ā€ The teacher cited Herbert Gutman, sociologist, who died in 1985 and surely took part in the whitewashing of Black history.
When they met to discuss the subject in person the professor gave Kayla books to read adding such statements as, ā€œThis book would be good for you to read. I believe itā€™s $6 so I could buy it for you if youā€™d like.ā€ The stated that she spent her whole life fighting for minorities and something likeĀ ā€œIā€™ve got Black friends.ā€Ā 
When the girl was proving her opinion, she heard more comments as, ā€œYouā€™re talking to someone who has spent their entire life fighting for people of diversity and marched with my Black brothers and sisters.ā€


As the result, the teacher asked Kayla to lecture the class on the topic and that was her fatal mistake.
Kayla took all her courage and made a presentation on the topic she was passionate about. She defended Black people and Black history. Hereā€™s her presentation.
That was the point where the story should end, but NO.
The professor obviously forgot about privacy settings on Facebook and posted offensive comments about Kayla.
The professorā€™s last words to Kayla were:
This time The University of Tennessee stood up for the student. In July the teacher officially retiring from the university.
This is fucking insane.
The last paragraph of kayaā€™s story is everything:


To my Professor, I forgive you for robbing me of my focus last semester. I forgive you for calling my Father, a graduate of Yale Medical School, ā€œeducationally challenged.ā€ I even forgive you for threatening me. However, I do not forgive you for being willfully ignorant to the subjects you teach students. I also do not forgive you for claiming to be an ally. An ally is so much more than wearing a safety pin. It also requires that you listen to the needs of Black people and respect the issues that we raise. When a Black student raises a concern over the way you are portraying her history, referring to all youā€™ve done for Black people doesnā€™t change the fact that youā€™re portraying slavery as some kind of slavery lite. As an educator and as an ally, you are not expected to know everything but this does not abdicate you from the responsibility of always continuing to learn- even from your students. Additionally, if you wanted to actually help Black men and women, youā€™d value our words. Unfortunately, your actions simply mirror how America values Black people in todayā€™s society.


This Black girl is a hero who overcame her fear and faced her teacher defending Black people and Black history.Ā 
#StayWoke #BlackPride #StopRacists

this is whyā€¦white womenā€¦cant teach black people, or people of color as a whole. White supremacy has a long history of setting up white women to destroy people of color namely black and native people) via education.Ā 

I was going through my old likes and decided to see if there was any updates in this story.

The professor was arrested for assaulting Kayla in a grocery storeĀ but the charges were dismissed by a judge on the condition Morelock has no further contact with Kayla

I couldnā€™t find any more recent news on Kayla than what was said in the second link, but I sincerely hope she wasnā€™t in any way negatively impacted because of the situation with Morelock, especially since the second link says there were multiple other faculty members that defended Morelockā€¦
this is why I do not and never will like white educators.

Morelock also continues to post about Kayla on her public Facebook, but (probably for ongoing legal reasons) still canā€™t or wonā€™t name her directly. You canā€™t underestimate peopleā€™s hatefulness & the depth of their vindictive and petty fixations out hereā€” even & especially people in a position of power over you with the potential to harm you, ā€œallyā€ or no.
And Kayla seems to be doing well! Her FB page says she became a Director at Amnesty International, and has just moved forward to become a Canvass Director for Care.org. Folks will try to block your blessings and drag you down to their hater-ass level in the mud, but you gotta fight & keep on shining. ā˜€ļø

 escorted back to his local pond where he couldnt go all snappity
 snap on anyone (or oute puppies) so my friend and I jumped into
 action. Within about 2 minutes it was prety apparent that Frank is
 a gigantic king a""hole
 Here we see Frank gettin all high and mighty trying to run the f"k
 away from us and get to the nearest basket of puppies that he
 could then chompity chomp simply because he is a giant t"k. Let
 me tell you something Frank, your dreams of being a Godzlla like
 terror on humanity are f"king over. You picked the wrong towrn
 Frank, you picked the wrong king town. Not Ƥke Frank was
 gonna make it easy on me though. I swear to god this bastard just
 about hissed and shit everywhere betore we got him to calm the
 f'k down Jesus Frank
 Frank then realized he was ked so instead of cooperating and
 getting a free ride back to his pond OH NO. Frank here decides he
 is five f"king years old and he sits thef"K down and goes limp
 Honestly Frank grow the fk up. You think ather turtles are acting
 like this at your age Frank, no. Frank here probably thought at this
 point we we're unqualified to deal with a shelled prehistoric
 asswipe but his ass was wrong. So wrong
 WE F KING LASSO'D THE SH.T OUTTA YOU FRANK
 Needless to say Frank was pretty f"king upset about the whole
 ordeal and bitched the entre ten minute walk back to Casa De
 Frank and just when 1 thought my life was gonna got just a ittle bit
 easier, Frank goes and torpedo sholgun pisses all over my toot
 Fk you Frank. Thats low even for you, you pancake sheled
 dickweed
 Long story short we got Frank back home and saved the entire
 town. Frank was not hurt, and we treated the whole situation with
 care BECAUSE TM A BIGGER MORE MATURE PERSON THAN
 YOU FRANK YOU SON OF A B'TCH

WEā€™VE HIT TERMINAL MEME

@caesarianconfection

Iā€™ve saidĀ ā€œI hate thisā€ so many times on this website, and never actually meant it, becauseĀ ā€œI hate thisā€ is just shorthand forĀ ā€˜this is an example of a meme given a twist I wasnā€™t expecting with intent to surpriseā€™. Which is, in of itself, a meme on this site. God damn it.
But thisā€¦ This is something else.
The rapidity of a memeā€™s introduction to its zenith to its decline is so rapid that in ten years, youā€™ll need a damn twenty-page manual to explain this. Itā€™ll be as unfunny and hard to explain as jokes in Shakespeare plays, except even more inexplicable because fuck, at least Shakespeareā€™s jokes are usually about anal or fucking your mother, good wholesome sex jokes we can all get behind.
For the love of fuck, how do you explain loss.jpg? How do you explain gun?

ā€¦.I THOUGHT THIS WAS A YMCA REFERENCE

it is a YMCA reference - thatā€™s one of the 6 memes being represented here
ok let me see if i can break this down easily. YMCA is the easiest place to start - the song itself has become a meme over time with people changing the lyrics to reference other pop cultural events. so YMCA is meme one (1)
this first lyric replacement (ā€take the breadsticks and runā€) is a reference to the tumblr meme ā€˜stuffing breadsticks into my purseā€™. i think everyone remembers that one so i wont bother to explain it. thatā€™s meme two (2)
ā€œman door hand hook car doorā€ is a meme of its own, a creepypasta from i dont remember when. it was a terrible stupid retelling of the genericĀ ā€˜stuck in a car while hook handed man tries to kill usā€™ story so the stupid title caught on for memorability. that in and of itself is meme three (3)
ā€˜gunā€™ isā€¦ yeah i dont know how to explain gun. long story short you add gun to the end of a phrase instead of what you expect the last word to be. its shock funny. its everywhere but its popular to add to ā€œman door hand hook car doorā€ for.. some reason? gun is meme four (4)
and the thing is, this four meme combo is something thats gone around before. meme combos are, itself, a meme. which means taking this meme combo and mixing in another meme actually becomesĀ meme five (5)
which leaves us at loss.jpg. loss.jpg was a terrible bad comic supposed to be about some tragic event, but it was presented so poorly literally no one takes it seriously, and for some reason recreating the four-panel setup has become popular. so thats meme six (6)
(but i need to add that this is the greatest version of loss.jpg i think iā€™ve ever seen. the initialĀ ā€˜young manā€™ lines up with the guy bursting through the door, and the shock memeĀ ā€˜gunā€™ matches the shock scene of the woman in the hospital and idk if OP even thought about that but it makes this just so much better)

I wasnā€™t going to reblog this, but @pagesofkennaā€˜s comprehensive meme-by-meme annotation is a thing of beauty and should be shared.

average tumblr post contains one meme, this post, which contains six, is an outlier and should not be counted

it might also just be a coincidence due to loss.jpgā€™s format but the whole white minimalist four-panel setup is also suspiciously reminiscent of those early 2000ā€™s rage comics

I was getting a political compass vibe too

This works better than I thought it would. 


This was in my senior project 

Iā€™m not sorry.

 leaned over the counter like I was robbing

 I've essentially been living off jars of peanut

 The other day I went to McDonald's with my
 family and the guy who took my order was
 really loud and was basically like "HAPPY
 HOLIDAYS WHAT CAN I GET YOU" and I
 was like wow I can't let this guy outmatch
 me so I yelled "I'LL TAKE A HAPPY MEAL
 WITH THE NUG NUGS IFI MAY" you know
 like a natural well-adjusted epitome of
 adulthood 19 year old and he was like
 "CERTAINLY WOULD YOU LIKE THE
 MIGHTY KIDS MEALINSTEAD WITH
 EXTRA FRIES" and I was so sleep deprivedI
 essentially blacked out and apparently
 leaned over the counter like I was robbing
 the place, raised my eyebrow like a suave
 robin hood and said "HECK YES I WOULD
 GOOD SIR" and then I sat down and he
 yelled from across the store "WOULD YOU
 LIKE THE PURPLE OR BLUE SPIDER
 MAN and since purple is the more superior
 color that's how I answered and long story
 short my parents think college changed me
 and that I'm now the poster child for being
 social and I've only been asked once why
 I'm not in a relationship yet but I know it's
 gonna be brought up again and how do i tell
 my parents it's because whenever eat in
 the dining hall spend the entire time
 playing bumper cars with the wheeley
 chairs and all I eat is pixie sticks and the last

 We've bought a new house. And our new next door neighbours
 (two delightful gentlemen) will not stop being nice
 - bought us a seagull proof refuse bag (yes, they are actual
 things)
 - loaned us garden tools when we didn't have any
 invited us around for Friday night drinks so we could meet the
 other people on the lane
 - one of them brought me a bunch of sweetpea flowers that
 he'd picked from his garden
 and tomorrow he's coming to cut our hedge for us with his
 electric hedge trimmer thing lak, and all I have to do is hold the
 ladder
 Basically, I am UNSETTLED and am now having to enter into
 an arms race of niceness and I am already so behind oh god.
 Long story short just baked a lemon drizzle cake, and it
 looks great but I can't even eat it because MR AND MR NICE
 MUST RECEIVE AN OFFERING
 ABSOLUTE CRISIS I GAVE THEM THE LEMON DRIZZLE AND
 THEN THEY INVITED ME IN TO HAVE A SLICE AND A COFFEE
 WITH THEM AND GAVE ME A TOUR OF THEIR HOUSE AND
 LET ME HOLD THEIR PUPPY. AND THEN THEY CAME AROUND
 TO HELP ME BAG UP THE HEDGE CLIPPINGS. THESE MEN
 ARE NICENESS PROS AND I CANNOT WIN
 HELP WE HAD AN HOUR LONG POWER CUT ON THE STREET
 AND IN THAT TIME THE OTHER MR NICE CAME AROUND WITH
 MATCHES AND CANDLES 'JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN'T HAVE
 ANY". IT WAS BARELY DARK.

 Wentworth Miller
 Today I found myself the subject of an Internet
 meme. Not for the first time.
 This one, however, stands out from the rest.
 In 2010, semi-retired from acting, I was keeping a
 low-profile for a number of reasons.
 First and foremost, I was suicidal
 This is a subject I've since written about, spoken
 about, shared about.
 But at the time l suffered in silence. As so many
 do. The extent of my struggle known to very, very
 few.
 Ashamed and in pain, I considered myself
 damaged goods. And the voices in my head
 urged me down the path to self-destruction. Not
 for the first time.
 I've struggled with depression since childhood. It's
 a battle that's cost me time, opportunities,
 relationships, and a thousand sleepless nights

 In 2010, at the lowest point in my adult life, I was
 looking everywhere for relief/comfort/distraction.
 And I turned to food. It could have been anything
 Drugs. Alcohol. Sex. But eating became the one
 thing I could look forward to. Count on to get me
 through. There were stretches when the highlight
 of my week was a favorite meal and a nevw
 episode of TOP CHEF. Sometimes that was
 enough. Had to be.
 And I put on weight. Big f--king deal.
 One day, out for a hike in Los Angeles witha
 friend, we crossed paths with a film crew shooting
 a reality show. Unbeknownst to me, paparazzi
 were circling. They took my picture, and the
 photos were published alongside images of me
 from another time in my career. "Hunk To Chunk."
 "Fit To Flab." Etc.
 My mother has one of those "friends" who's
 always the first to bring you bad news. They
 clipped one of these articles from a popular
 national magazine and mailed it to her. She called
 me, concerned.
 In 2010, fighting for my mental health, it was the
 last thing I needed.

 Long story short, I survived.
 So do those pictures.
 I'm glad.
 Now, when I see that image of me in my red t
 shirt, a rare smile on my face, I am reminded of
 my struggle. My endurance and my perseverance
 in the face of all kinds of demons. Some within.
 Some without.
 Like a dandelion up through the pavement, I
 persist.
 Anyway. Still. Despite.
 The first time I saw this meme pop up in my social
 media feed, I have to admit, it hurt to breathe. But
 as with everything in life, I get to assign meaning.
 And the meaning I assign to this/my image is
 Strength. Healing. Forgiveness.
 Of myself and others.
 If you or someone you know is struggling, help is
 available. Reach out. Text. Send an email. Pick
 up the phone. Someone cares. They're waiting to
 hear from you. Much love . -W.M.
