Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

I think it riffs off that “call me daddy” stuff

The creature ends up being called DADDY long legs, implying some sort of BDSM kinkiness

Why would a scientist call an insect a spider

Daddy Long Legs.

Hadn't meant to post it twice.

Post-truth world innit.

We've had enough of experts I suppose

Why would a scientist call an insect a spider

Because it was the wrong kind of scientist. They asked for an entomologist, but they got an etymologist.

I think it's actually because they were joke scientists talking about a joke spider in the context of a joke, which I have now ruined. Night all

This just feels too Henry V to not be a piss take.

I hope the bike they gave the Queen had grips that matched the saddle.

If you don't think that feminist issues apply to trans women, you clearly don't recognise trans women as "real women" and are therefore a transphobe

This is where the “RF” bit of “TERF” came from, before it became a generic term for transphobes and instead referred to a subset of the radfem mvmt.

The argument I think was ultimately telling trans women to check their privilege from the period pre-transition where patriarchal society coded / viewed them as a “man”. When you write it out like that it sounds bonkers.

My £.02 : it’s a valuable conversation that you’re all having, I really think that, but please consider the impact that discussing mistreatment, disenfranchisement, injustice, intolerance can have on other users. Especially those who aren’t in a good place, and who come to this thread because it’s silly memes and some banter, and doesn’t focus on the heavy stuff.

We've had enough of experts I suppose

not sure whether you're referring to the spider meme replies or the page-long off-topic disussion but either way I do agree

Excellent.

More memes please

I'm most struck by the fact the current groupset shortage clearly doesn't apply to Boris/politicians. No problem getting Di2 if you're Matt Hancock, probably.

ha! look at the size of that passport sticker on that pineapple.

Good point. Also, I want to apologise if it sounded like I was putting words in anyone's mouth, my post could have been structured better.

Commissioned by the Chinese Govt. to depict of the G7 meeting apparently. Clearly there’s cultural nuance I’m missing, ‘cuz I think it’s hilarious.

TF is going on with that gearing?

Or do I just not undetstand beik any more?

That’s pretty sinister. The last G7 before ww3. And the eschatologists will have great fun with the national animal imagery.
