Rick Rolling the meaning is pranking someone.
Badger Badger Badger it’s the humor of the song and animation, and the unexpectedness of the mushroom, plus some absurdism of course.
Nyan Cat is the closest, in that it’s just absurdist, but also it had a catchy song and was art.
6-7 is pure absurdism. There isn’t a meaning to it, and it’s lack of meaning is the joke. It’s meaningless is so absolute that the brain defaults to base pattern recognition to give it any semblance of meaning.
And I’m not saying that’s bad. I’m just stating that it’s literally a meaningless joke. Some may ascribe it’s rise to prevalence as part of modernized brain rot culture, itself an extremist version of absurdist humor that began to rise in the 80s with Gen X and exploded with millennial, but evolved through very compressed short form content.
To me, I think it’s maybe a prelude to an increase in dark humor again (and indeed we saw a rise for a moment in which 6-7 was given a dark twist with the mixing of SCP fiction with it’s focus on voidness, emphasizing the insanity of the meaninglessness of the meme, but also the emptiness of everything) similar to millennials, since I think Gen Alpha already sees how bad the situation is for their generation even at a young age and will eventually perhaps evolve to a mixture of dark nihilistic violent humor; the meaningless of 6-7 it’s expression of nihilism in a humorous way.
But that’s just a theory. A meme theory.

They weren’t.
6-7 is literally not meant to have meaning. It’s meaning is that it doesn’t have meaning. That’s the joke.

And then let it flow away, to start a new.

Wouldn’t it makes more sense to take it then once you’re already blind? Then there’s less risk of blindness technically

Colonizers aren’t just immigrants, piss off with that false equivalence. People committing attempted genocides (or successful in some cases) aren’t the same as people just moving somewhere.

- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 1 month ago:
We have local providers too tho, and if they go down could give this EU ones a chance to move in, which could be good.
Especially since both Microsoft and Google are both quite in the AI stuff.

Revolut is subject to EU laws which are much stricter than US ones. It’s not like Wells Fargo, an actual US bank, hasn’t already messed with Americans by just straight up stealing from them. Wells Fargo would’ve been dead by now in the EU for their shenanigans.

Our economy isn’t propped up by AI. One of the biggest AI’s we have is Mistral, and it’s no where near the size of the US ones.

I do forget the general American public has the reading skills of a middle schooler. Touché.
- Comment on Anon uses the internet like a normie 1 month ago:
People always precede “slop” with “AI”, even in the comment I responded to.
And the reason I got annoyed is because they used it for an algorithm rather than AI as well.

Whoops fixed.

Weird no one is saying this, but exchange dollars to Euros.
Had it been done back in November of last year, 1,000$ would now be worth about 1,200$.
Even if the Euro loses some value from the crash, it probably won’t be greater than 20% of the exchange difference there is now.
- Comment on Anon uses the internet like a normie 1 month ago:
I’m so tired of seeing the word “slop” used for everything AI. It’s fucking annoying and as tiring as an American right-winger calling everything libtard.
Open a thesaurus. You can say “trash”, “shit”, “garbage”, “waste”, “viral fecundity”, “sludge”, “gook”, or “muck” for example. Keep it new instead of just parroting the same old tired phrase.

- Comment on Did Border Control exist in previous eras? (Say, like 500+ years ago or more) Can people go to other places? If so, what does the procedure look like? Just walk across a border? 2 months ago:
So I guess you have to make sure you apply to have your tax home changed. Doesn’t seem automatic from what I read

US is one of like 2 or 3 countries that does that.
There are usually other costs, and if you have any outstanding debts you have to pay those first too.
Some may need a lawyer to figure out how to just do the paperwork.
