Not funny.
Not a meme.
Quality needs to be enforced, I know "funny" is subjective but everyone can see this is not a meme so it shouldn't even be here.
Approximately 99% of stuff that gets posted here are not memes. I think you're fighting a losing battle here.
Can we, without relentlessly criticizing, let people have their un-funny, non-memes and screenshots and whatever little harmless things in which they've managed to find a tiny shriveled flower of joy?
Somebody should make a movie around this message of jaded adults refinding their humanity in an absurd, hyperconsumerist world through the rejection of cynicism and embracing of liking things again, but cleverly disguise it as a movie made to sell plastic dolls to little girls to play on the concept of hyperconsumerism.
I think this hypothetical movie will be a smashing success in the box office. And probably win the lead actress an Oscar this year.
I don’t mind people putting up decorations early, it’s when stores swap out their seasonal stock early that triggers me
Last year local Home Depot started clearancing out Halloween decorations to make room for Christmas stuff in September.
If I hear Christmas music before at least November, I will go nuclear
Let people not like things.
You're welcome to dislike something, but that doesn't mean you need to discourage someone else from liking that thing. You can share an opinion without making it sound like it's a sin against nature to disagree with that opinion.
Letting go of the part of you that judges other people is important. It hurts, because that is one of the few avenues of control we can experience in our lives alienated by capitlaism.
Letting your self be free of those childish emotions and learning to replace them with love for your fellows is the path towards true happiness however. That is one of those weird tricks the government doesn't want you to know. Except it is real and it works. The more negative you are about other people the more negativity you experience and the more treats you need to buy to survive. The heart of every true revolutionary is full of love.
I am judging the fuck out of nazis though and I will not stop
Tolerance for everything but the intolerant.
But what about the shriveled flower of joy I get from shitting on their happiness 
You had me until the too early decorations. The other things don't take away my joy. That does.
Also harm isn't why people care. Its the erosion of well defined seasons in order to push corporate products on us and in the end we get fucked up melding of events like remembrance day while people are preoccupied trying to get Christmas shopping in.
It turns what was once cultural events into corporate buy shit quarters. Because its easier for Walmart to sell Christmas stuff in October then wait until it's the season.
Its a loss and erosion of an important shared culture in favor of only corporate sponsored ones.
I don't criticize people for enjoying those things, I criticize the corporations for relentlessly monetizing those things and sucking all the enjoyment out of them for money.
This is humanity, there will be no joy! ☝️
Wild how happiness only seems to exist in commodities
Exactly my thoughts: work, consume, die.
What a fucking miserable fate for a human life.
The problem here is that all of these people have turned their consumer choices into their identities and thus they feel personally attacked whenever they hear criticism of the products they consume.
It's incredibly unhealthy and something everyone should work to weed out of their mindset if they want to grow as a person instead of being perpetually unhappy because others criticising things isn't going anywhere.
The drug cartels receive a substantial amount of money from avocado production (weird but apparently true)
Cinnamon is carcinogenic
Many fandoms have a disturbingly sexual element (especially my little pony)
Halloween is a celebration of consumerism, microplastics and diabetes.
I'm sure there's a dark side to d&d but I can't think of it right now.
You're welcome
I'm sure there's a dark side to d&d but I can't think of it right now.
It’s satan.

I found my tiny shriveled flower of joy in being a hater. Today's target: people who upvoted this garbage. The fuck is wrong with you? It's not a meme and it's not funny, it doesn't belong on this community, and it's so sanctimonious it gave me diarrhea.
Tomorrow's target: people who push all their furniture up against the wall
Thursday's target: Scots
Halloween is my favorite time of the year!
My first thought was "It's never too early for Halloween". I can understand hating early Christmas decorations, because Christmas is an all-out capitalist fuckfest with irritating jingles. But who hates Halloween?
Honestly it's probably in part BECAUSE OF the damn early Christmas decorations that Halloween stuff has been expanding earlier into the fall/summer. Because by mid October you have to wade through a sea of holly jolly bullshit to get to it. Anyone with an issue with the early Halloween stuff, go take it up with Christmas for trying to annex October and not staying on their fucking side of the 31st.
Serious.
If you are seriously annoyed by any of these things, then it should be a reminder of how unburdened and care free your life is that such a thing actually bugs you, and spark a sense of pride and contentment instead.
This is the way.
Isn't the whole gripe with Pumpkin Spiced whatever the same with Christmas decorations popping up in mid-October? Like, its not fucking special if you're putting nutmeg in my coffee in June.
Same with the D&D / Marvel / Roblox / Whatever fandom of choice. It was fine twenty years ago when it was the New Thing. Now we're pushing 100+ hours of Disneyfied extended universe content on Marvel alone. Half my "recommended" podcast feed is six C-list celebrities making the soy face in front of a pair of crossed battle axes. And my street is lined with shitty faux-bakery corporate cafeterias trying to sell a piece of rye bread covered in guacamole for $15/slice.
Who actually enjoys this shit anymore? It feels like I'm being sealed into Disneyland, like a Pharaoh buried alive in his pyramid. It stopped being fun ages ago. Now I'm torn between boredom and horror.
Pumpkin spice lattes?
Guy across the street spent the weekend putting up Halloween decorations with his daughter. We can this guy "Heavy metal dad" because year round he displays pentagram flags, and wears heavy metal band shirts with the sleeves cut off all year. It's great.
If I can't criticize every insignificant difference in lifestyle that I have with a stranger that I probably won't ever talk to again in my life. How else will I stroke my ego and fulfill my basic need of feeling superior to others?
“Let people enjoy things”
No
