For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

Who says car in this phrase? It's almost always bus, tram, or train.
For real. If I get hit. It better be infrastructure. Gonna go after those rich public coffers not a broke ass Nissan driver.
Your spoiler tag syntax seems to render properly only on PieFed but not Lemmy web UI, e.g. on programming.dev. Just letting you know!
It also works on Eternity, whereas most spoilers don't.
Wow, that's an app that I haven't heard mentioned for like... years. Is it still being actively developed?
Not really, last commit was last year. Still works, though, and I haven't found anything yet that I like better.
Then keep using what you enjoy! ๐
Fair warning that I've heard people say that Lemmy 1.0 will break compatibility with old apps. I don't use 3rd party apps but wanted to offer you that heads-up so you won't be taken entirely by surprise if it happens.
Your instance also looks increasingly likely to defederate from Lemmy.world too, which even though it now has "only" 50% of all the active people present on the Threadiverse (compared to the 80% that it used to have), nonetheless it also still has sth like 90% of the most popular communities. Your instance would also thereby block the top posters too, like ThePicardManeuver and Sunshine's PieFed accounts. Even if you aren't into all the political leftist in-fighting drama, you nonetheless will be affected by it when Lemmy starts looking a lot more empty after that. So you may want to start looking into making an alt, for multiple reasons.
And if you need a recommendation as a place to start, I suggest checking out slrpnk.net. You would still be able to access all the same communities from there, since it's neutral territory. Please note I have no pony in this race - obviously feel entirely free to ignore, I just offered this as a thought to consider:-).
I appreciate the advice. I'll check out some more apps on F-Droid if everything starts breaking.

[SPOILER TITLE]
[SPOILER CONTENTS]also my lingual glands are satiated spoiler does not look like a word anymore.
this is what i do from the lemmy web interface and jerboa. seems to work
This is the official syntax and should always work.
Spoiler alert: it doesn't:-P. There's a bunch of old apps that never bothered to implement it, yet people still continue to use them anyway.
Sometimes you'll see NSFW tags to accomplish the spoiler effect, on posts anyway (doesn't work on comments beneath a post).
It's always a tension between the things that move forward quickly vs. those that remain glacially slow or even half altogether. Like PieFed even has a separate NSFL (gore) tag to distinguish it from NSFW, and numerous options to either hide, blur, show as semi-transparent, etc., and you can pick a different rendering for each (one for NSFW but a different one for NSFL). And this on top of a plethora of features like polls, user and post flairs, hashtags, keyword filtering, user-customizable and shareable Feeds, and so much more. All of Lemmy remains behind in comparison. But even for Piefed, the vast majority of these features are not offered by the vast majority of apps available for the Threadiverse.
I suppose it's good to have choices. But that entails people making different ones. ๐
i mean it's on people using out of date software when it doesn't SYNTAX ERROR REINSTALL COMMENT
Edit: ah, finally found it. Bonus addition:
Yeah, but I don't think the person wishing "I hope I get hit by a bus" โ unqualified โ is wishing that they somehow survive and get lawsuit money. I mean maybe if you take the "survive" part out and still assume it's the operator's fault, the lawsuit money could go to the estate...
But if you're anti-car infrastructure, then you don't want to get hit by those alternatives, because the anti-mass-transit crowd might use it to villify mass transit.
If you get hit by a car then you can become an anti-car martyr for the cause
yeah get on the trolley OP
Buses, trams, and trains in their great efficiency would also be more efficient at traumatizing more people. And cars are by far the most likely thing to randomly hit you out of nowhere while still having the capacity to easily kill.
I think "car" is reasonably common; I've definitely at least heard it a few times before.
I definitely do... maybe it's because we don't have busses, trams, or trains here where I live. Just cars and oversized trucks.
