I mean, surely the meme itself wasn't the joke. That would be terrible.
In retrospect, it's probably best not to put the watermark in the final panel.
A good spot would be behind the word " sentient", so that you can read join lemmy faintly above it. This would discourage lazy people from removing or altering it

Campaign to get more internet dweebs to join us Lemmy dweebs
It should be like the dinosaur appliances in The Flintstones that say "it's a living"
"This job sucks!"
This job is shitty
IF YOU GO IN ME, YOU DIE
We should watermark everything now
Join Lemmy.org ™
No. Memes are for the people. No brands, no watermarks. Putting logos and trademarks on everything to indicate who they belong to is what corporations do.
Besides, I'm not even ON lemmy, yet I can post here too.
They are for the people, but what's the problem with showing where a meme originated from?
They all originate from either a goth teenager or some 40yr old in his parents basement. Why give credit to a random posting platform?
Why not?

Whatever increases the net happiness in the world. 🙂
A utilitarian, eh? So, a group of men with runaway diarrhea are going to shit in five toilets who do not want to be shit in. You have no way of stopping them, but if you pull a lever they will instead be diverted to a single toilet-that-does-not-want-to-be-shit-in. What is the correct action to take in this scenario?
All, the natural evolution to the trolly-problem
To shit on something that isn't sentient that doesn't want to be shit on. Possibly the ground where it can be used as fertilizer for plants.

It would react like the robot in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.
The doors in HHGTTG are extremely satisfied to perform their job. They are very happy to open and close for you and let out a very small happy sigh when completing their tasks.
Imagine if you took a nasty dump and the toilet let out a satisfied "Ahhhhhhh..."
Hahahahahaha

*sapient. If it were merely sentient it could sense the bodily waste, but would be incapable of feeling any way about it.
This is a rare case where sentient is being used correctly. Sentient beings do have feelings, e.g. dogs and cats are sentient and can have cravings and even feel hate.
Sapient means having enough intellect to understand and reason about the situation. The post doesn't actually require that.
So we've got a lot of Homo sentients out there then?
Damn, as savage as they are
Kind of a grey area, so I'll allow it.
I would like it to be dejectedly resigned to its shitty job just like I am, thank you.
I'm pretty sure George would want the toilet to hate it
"No. Do not throw away. I give you happy poopy time."
-overly expensive Japanese toilet

This scene comes to mind... https://youtu.be/F7o8KuJKizs?si=34KudkyM_hTZ5Ldf
First thing I thought of, as well. That scene gave me nightmares as a child.
Sentient Cows at Milliways, the restaurant at the end of the Universe. https://youtu.be/5HLy27bK-wU?si=womGmc4wkBjesRE9
I'd like to be able to switch it's outlook on swallowing my piss and shit as I see fit on any given day.
Gimme dat poo poo
Is that in reference to the Safety Third podcast?
Bit tangential, but I have to share this gem https://youtu.be/BJfEcPp2H6Q?si=L_dqvsZtJ1XVkpEd.

Society is not yet ready for sentient plant creatures who get excited when it's time to fulfill their role of cleaning up our waste products.
