I've seen a lot of memes/jokes related to moths looking for lamps. Why does the community love these memes? What's the point?

Like beans, jeans, and the rest…seasonal meme.

On what is the point:

Too bad "Orbs" doesn't rhyme.

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 weeks ago

I forgot about the orbs. Maybe I'm less of a wizard type and more of a lamp type than I thought.

Just be glad it's not jeans again

Memes come and go, moths are forever.

Lemmy gets a meme then beats it to death in 24 hours.

[-] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 weeks ago

I prefer to think of merging it into the gestalt.

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 weeks ago

I like moth

At this point I'm referring to all Lemmy meme storms as beans.

Not poopin'? That's a bean.
Moths? That's a bean.
Beans? Oh you better believe that's a bean.

One person decided to create a trend by switching on the lamp and the next thing we know it's full of moth.

The Moth don't care if The Flame is real, 'Cause Flame and Moth got a sweetheart deal.

We don’t appreciate the “R” word around here.

He has not seen the light.

The fact you're Downvotes supports your statement.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works -4 points 4 weeks ago

Fuck moths, they are fucking gross and terrifying.
