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

My knee jerk reactions would be

1. Confirmation bias, people seek out things that confirm what they want to believe regardless of 'truth'.
   
2. Consuming media with critical thinking is a dying skill for various reasons.
   
3. The 3rd order of simulacra is fully here and the lines between reality and the constructed representation of it are basically gone so it's very easy to intentionally or unintentionally subjectively construct one's own reality
   

Not to mention the masses are effectively livestock, domesticated by the ruling class. All kinds of cognitive biases are systematically reinforced; the capture of government in Australia by the gambling industry among others, is a stark example.

The truth is complex, nuanced and contradictory.
People tend to prefer simple, straightforward and binary, so if that is offered for consumption along side the complex truth it will be consumed first.

Parklife.

Memes thread. Memes please.

It turns out the future was more Fahrenheit 451 than Big Brother.

Nominating this for rep of the day!

Need some memes about team USA’s outfits at the closing ceremony.

“Ralph, make them look like an average of every single American tourist to set foot in Paris since 1980”

Shocked to learn this isn’t an AI gen image. It’s like the designers panicked and mashed together uniforms from NASCAR, baseball, rodeo, cricket, and added boating shoes and a trucker hat-baseball cap.

What is the story of the Aus dancer? Keep seeing photos and headlines everywhere, but it's very lacking in what the actual story is.

why are they dressed like emergency nurses?

imagine a 60 year old woman who's never heard hip hop before, deciding she should represent her country at break dancing, whilst also having never break danced before .... i think

her impression of a kangaroo break dancing also lost her a few style points from her final score.

not that i have seen her performance but i feel qualified to comment on her performance from all the things i have read on t'internet about it

it's renata bliss

She's mid 30s and, I think, had to win the Oceana qualifiers to get there.

I think it's more like the Eddie the Eagle story.

or eric the eel moussambani

I'm not up on this story either and assumed it was an Aussie female cricketer.

She also has a Phd in breakdancing.

now there's the real problem ^

She failed to impress the judges.
