For the same reason people pretend to not like the word moist.
Humans are desperate for connection and will attach to even meaningless pop culture trends in an attempt to belong to an in-group.

Like how exactly are y’all expecting people to react to this? Y’all know you live in the real world with actual people, not Looney Tunes with a bunch of exaggerated cartoon characters, right?

As always, Mariah memes are 100x lamer and more annoying than the song itself.
Y’all don’t have to latch onto every meaningless pop culture opinion

I’ve spent a lot of time around dogs, even bonded with an liked a few. Still a very distinctly different feeling than human affection for me, and still doesn’t help me understand for the uncanny glee people get at the mere sight of a dog. 🤷♂️ I don’t know if I’m broken, but this seems to be something that’s just outside my understanding
- Comment on Labcoat! 3 weeks ago:
I do occasionally find people cute. But I don’t fawn over every person I see as if I’ve never seen a cute person before. This does not match my experience with the current cultural evaluation of dogs.
And maybe this is the crux of the issue, but I just don’t find human babies and dogs even remotely comparable. I have countless lifetimes worth of conditioning inside me compelling me to love, admire, protect human young; innate feelings and instincts on human babies written into my very DNA. Dogs are an animal.
I do sometimes find dogs cute, just like I sometimes find squirrels, lemurs, sloths, whatever cute, but it’s not an automatic response and it certainly doesn’t ever bring me to point of elation that seeing literally any random ass dog seems to bring so many others. I’m not even trying to suggest any judgement, if anything I’m just lamenting something that for my entire lifetime I have not been able to relate to or understand in my peers, which makes me feel somehow lacking, I guess.

No hate intended, I promise, but I will never understand why people react to seeing any dog as if it were their first time seeing a dog. I’m glad we have them, and I’m so grateful for service animals in particular, I just don’t understand the hyper-fixation.

Turns out, people actually like snark and most attempts to quell it have been vastly more about appearing “advertisers friendly” than actually appeasing any user bases.

Pfft. Making things hotter is easy. The fact that we can regularly make things colder and hold them at that colder temperature is what’s actually impressive in thermodynamics

Bro obviously they’re lauding physical mechanical buttons, not condemning useful features. Every single thing you listed can be controlled with manual tactile buttons. The issue that people have is with needless touchscreens and unnecessary digital interfaces.

So basically it’s just the existing game as is, but with “credit” to spend on disgusting paid mods. Revolting.
- Comment on But why 1 month ago:
Ummm was your childhood stunted or something? 12yos absolutely can be capable of complex emotional intelligence and reasoning. Hell, for most of humanity “childhood” wasn’t even a concept and an adult was anyone over 13.
And don’t get me wrong, that we can gift our young the idea of “childhood” is simply one of the greatest achievements of the modern world, so I’m not out here trying to say kids should be considered adults again, but I think you are vastly underestimating the capability of children. Especially children who are trauma survivors and haven’t had the benefit of the slow progress of childhood gifted to them.

Image doesn’t show for me.
And I’m well aware of the difference, I’m saying that you are perceiving how people have been using the term wrong. People say meme when talking about image macros the same way people say fruit when talking about apples; it applies because the thing being discussed is an example of the field but it is not the whole of the field.
It is okay to be wrong. People will respect you more if you simply say “wow, I guess I didn’t realize that.”

What a stupid take; I don’t know who coined the term “coffee,” does that mean I don’t know what coffee is?
And yeah sorry to inform you dude, but you are the only one incorrectly thinking that meme means “funny image.”
What you’re describing is an image macro, a specific type of meme.
And honestly taking it further, it is the templates used themselves that are mematic, not the individual images themselves, if we wanna get real pedantic about it.
Meme does not, and has never, been “funny images that follow a template” any more than “music” is “down tuned guitar riffs over blast beats.” That is just a singular example of the greater form.

My guy, that is how everyone else uses the word.
Again, what definition are you using, because the rest of us are entirely in the dark about what you mean
- Comment on Oh no my harvest is too bountiful 1 month ago:
Yes, and therein lies the humor, the juxtaposition of opining in casual tone what feels implied by the speaker to be mundane and relatable but which is in fact extremely niche and specifically un-relatable.

Other than the dude who literally coined the term?
As in like, the definition of a meme? What the hell definition are you using?
