To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand cropped memes. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of memetics and linguistics most of the jokes will go over a typical reader's head. There's also the high contrast color pallette, which is deftly woven into the message. Lemmy users understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike cropped memes truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in longing for the bottom half of the text, "Join our Discord". I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as the meme's genius wit unfolds itself on their smartphone screens. What fools..

The simps will be confounded by your use of vocabulary. Just imagine the ignoramuses and their drooling confusion. It almost makes me feel sorry for them.

This is sarcasm building upon the sarcasm of the previous post. I don't give two fucks about this meme but I know people resent Discord as a substitute for forums. Those people are clearly Neanderthals, a species we now know to have had culture but certainly not computers.

You're literally posting from the SDF's instance. If you're not going to support FLOSS, then consider migrating to a server which reflects your beliefs. (Also, go take an anthropology course so that you don't embarrass yourself by dehumanizing people online.)

And the reason for my mention of sarcasm proves necessary. I can't contribute code, so I contribute money to FOSS projects. And I think it's stupid to dehumanize people. I haven't embarrassed myself because you aren't able to properly interpret my post building atop prior sarcasm.

There's a reason I'm on the SDF instance and it wasn't an accident. Learn to internet.

Sarcasm needs to be humorous; you're merely rattling off insults. Anyway, it's pretty uncommon that somebody literally "can't contribute code;" anybody who can learn how to use a computer and post juvenile horseshit to Lemmy can learn how to write code. I'm a former professional musician; writing code is my backup career, taking less practice and effort than playing the piano. I encourage you to try putting in some effort; for the same time it takes to write around 500 comments/month on Lemmy, you could probably build a program that automates or simplifies some portion of your life.

And seriously, by doubling down on the idea that being Neanderthal is bad or deficient, you're spouting some nasty rhetoric. It doesn't matter whether you're serious or not; eventually, you'll forget that you were being ironic. "Those who play with the devil's toys will be brought by degrees to wield his sword" and all that.
