"The only women here are women" is a wild take but ok bridget-pride-stay-mad

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 39 points 1 month ago

Oof yeah our haters are always the nicest people hmm? Actually I might put a transphobia warning on this post because yeah it's oof.

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

Wamen, am I right?

ngl I'm a little out of it and glossed over "but the users are so awful" the first time I read it and was just like "hell yeah" erm-this-you

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 50 points 1 month ago

That's why it's funny, they make us sound so much cooler than we actually are

[-] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

I've literally seen this tagline before and up until just now I thought it was someone genuinely expounding about how rad Hexbear is lmao

[-] casskaydee@hexbear.net 62 points 1 month ago

"just ssh the root distro" - statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

[-] un_mask_me@hexbear.net 59 points 1 month ago

I do this too, here's the most recent in my screenshots

[-] Mindfury@hexbear.net 47 points 1 month ago

Another particularly enjoyable one is the Hamas paraglider flying towards the Triforce or Angular Merkels angular-merkel

[-] vegeta1@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago

Never seen this lmao

[-] The_Filthy_Commie@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah, I saw that one recently, too and chuckled, because it has no context. It's just Willem Dafoe shidding his pants over the moon face from Majora's Mask.

[-] un_mask_me@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Makes you wonder where it was originally posted, and why. The great Hexbear mysteries persist.

"the only women here are trans women" not true! some of us are trans men feminism

disclaimerthis is a joke about my specific mystery gender, not anyone else's. i am not implying that trans masc people in general are women, thats just me flag-lesbian-pride flag-non-binary-pride

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

I am a trans woman who lives as a man ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 44 points 1 month ago

Mods??? MODS?! They're making fun of me again for using my latin phrasebook in an argument :( you have to track them down and kill them!!!

i got this one some days ago for the first time, it was pretty funny

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago

regimus

spoilerI've hyperfocused and done a week of self lead Latin lessons ๐Ÿ˜…

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 41 points 1 month ago

I think my favorite ones are when I can't tell if it's some actual complaining about us or one of us mocking their complaints

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 41 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

People say shit like "just ssh the root config distro"

Yeah, it's true. We say that shit so much, like any chance we get. All the time.

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 34 points 1 month ago

I always want to reply to the taglines

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 32 points 1 month ago

Forgetting the #1 rule of jokes

If you don't understand it just laugh anyway

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

People just expect to walk into a community and instantly understand everything huh? I mean... they could just shut up and hang out for a while and I'm sure they'd pick up our dumb ass in jokes, but no it's always "I'vE BeEn HeRe fIVe SeConDs wHy iS eVerYoNe SaYinG UsInG PiG EmOtEs?!"

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

the best jokes are funny even when you don't understand the context

monkey sees joke-shaped communication -> neuron activation

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

remember we used to say "lurk more" and tie onions to our belts?

[-] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

Realising 'read theory' has the same vibe as 'lurk moar' lol

[-] Speaker@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

Excited for "Thead reory" to catch on.

[-] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

It was the style at the time

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

I will not stand for this slander of our community! Some of it is only half-true!

[-] ComradeSpahija@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago

"In response to the horse imagery, "

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

"- I cast Force of Will, exiling Storm Crow"

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago

You laugh, but this hits very close to home when your crush starts a conversation about linux distros for programming her model trains and then you vent about it and your gal pal enters the chat to say that she plans installing a dual boot system and which distro she should use for that and then your ex tells you about that vintage French computer she bought that's somehow linked to transfem culture deep lore. Like, i'm specifically dating the arts and humanities nerds to avoid this kind of stuff because i understand nothing about it and it still keeps happening.

[-] AshenWolf@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

And there's the Hamas Base Steamed Hams one, that I don't have saved. And the one saying y'all will do communism without me. And the one calling me a liberal.

Edit: No way I just got it #visithexbeardotnet

[-] Are_Euclidding_Me@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

I think my favorite might be "please wait warmly, folks are making tea". I don't know why, but it always gives me a little giggle

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

Everything is fucking star trek, linux, and communism.

waow-based

[-] TheaJo@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago
