damn, that could have been so good. a series of unusual mysteries and sci-fi stories, all subtly linked to the central macguffin laboratory, or whatever government conspiracy is “behind the whole thing”.

they already have a whole alternate dimension to play with, so it doesn’t need to be contained to a single midwest town. they could set seasons in any part of the world, and make it a huge web, with a hyper local focus with new casts.

the more I think about it, the worse it gets; they had a perfect setup and didn’t go for it.

a tomato is a fruit, but does it belong in a fruit salad?

a meme was originally used to describe repeated patterns in genetics, and is fundamentally another way to say “mimic,” so we could build an argument for a totally different way to moderate content here.

but the spirit of the community is to showcase the modern internet meme, so I think taking the narrow definition of “new jokes over repeated images” is more appropriate than a literal definition of the word itself.

but not if it’s a text-only screenshot, like a twitter/tumblr post. the point of the modern “meme” is to be variations on a visual-based theme.

otherwise, it’s just a joke or a comment

catching strays out here, my dude. sounds like a really positive take on something people find divisive.

cooking for others is so special - I’m glad your family shares that. my parents don’t cook, and certainly never took an interest in meeting most of the people I dated. but now my partner and I cook for them. they don’t like everything we make, and pick around the stuff they don’t want. everyone’s happy, so it all works out.

it’s also important to be a good guest. a host isn’t a servant. they didn’t make anyone do anything; they offered food and shared their home, and that’s pretty cool.

also, doesn’t sound like in-laws. “dated” implies casuality, and also past tense.

start composting, and turn that green waste into green money (or food)

Twitter? I thought this was Ipswich!

metal detectors work wonders for finding gates! that, and a long poking-stick to make sure it’s the right thing before pulling up the sod

“War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.”

“There are no innocent bystanders in Hell. War is chock full of them - little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for some of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.”

second verse, same as the first!

nailed it

it’s a single swapped line of text from a popular movie… not exactly groundbreaking meme material, here

the wheelbarrow is disturbingly high up… and without its proper wheels
