Great integration into that meme

At first I thought he was a divorcee just trying to get his dog back but now that I know he's a divorcee spending time with his daughter I like the story even more.

He is actually part of the turkish gendarmerie which is notorious for oppressing minorities in turkey

Power couple!

Bottom left he really looks like he hasn't smiled in 20 years and the photographer told him to

the joke is no one making memes about the olympics watches them

So Turks just like to shoot with their hands in their pockets, I guess?

[-] stephen01king@lemmy.zip 30 points 1 year ago

I think that's just how the shooting stance works. Hooking your hand in your pocket prevents it from moving and messing with your aim.

[-] EpeeGnome@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

They're only allowed to use one hand, so the competitors always have their off hand tucked in or hooked onto their clothes so that arm can be relaxed and ignored.

Got it, I'm honestly just riffing off another comment I saw a day ago that mentioned his hand in his pocket, I didn't know they all did it. 🤣

And the other one NOT giving a high five…!?

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Why not show the gold medalists... Seeing as most never saw them, and they've got zero publicity compared to others.

[-] drdabbles@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Because the Olympics aren't good for anything but ruining nations and memes.

[-] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Are they not the people with steampunk glasses in the memes?

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nope, it was Serbia’s Damir Mikec and Zorana Arunovic.

Damir Mikec's eye wear looked more like something made from lego technic:

....and he's gotten no love for having beaten all these meme based characters.

I feel like this is a great statment on how "meritocracy" works IRL
