First it was the beans. Then it was the guy who couldn't poop. Now it's moths. What don't you understand?

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

So this moth walks into a podiatrist's office...

What's with the current resurgence?

[–] far_university1990@reddthat.com 6 points 2 hours ago

Someone: MOTH

Everyone: I guess we doin moth now.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 2 hours ago

My guess is: summer.

[–] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

It was a big long fad on reddit like a year ago. I guess it is just finally making it to lemmy

[–] sibannac@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

Someone invested heavily in moths and lamp memes. Gotta unload the stale goods somewhere.

No hate towards Norway though.

Don't worry about it. Just follow the light, let it guide you

[–] Alistaire@sopuli.xyz 21 points 17 hours ago (3 children)

It's just one guy posting all these shit

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Good initiative though IMO.

What about cakes next?

You know, when it was beans or jeans or whatever that one guy was spamming like crazy, It stuck out like a sore thumb to me. I found it rather tiresome TBH. But with the moths, I just laughed. Perhaps I've seen the light?

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 33 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

A round of applause for the brother/sister who has now found the light!!!

The Moth Enlightenment Era has begun.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 25 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Guys I'm disappointed in y'all. the answer is stupid simple:

LAMP

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 8 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (1 children)

In my experience it's more about nginx these days.

edit: s/now/more/

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

well done. I didn't even make that connection before, so now I'm going to have a hard time not seeing it.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

Don't worry, I have the same problem. Every day is a struggle, but I'm doing all right.

A moth goes into a podiatrist’s office, and the podiatrist’s office says, “What seems to be the problem, moth?”

The moth says “What’s the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Illinivich, and all day long I work. Honestly doc, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know if Gregory Illinivich knows. He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness. But I don’t know, I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there… at night I…I sometimes wake up and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm. A lady that I once loved, doc. I don’t know where to turn to. My youngest, Alexendria, she fell in the…in the cold of last year. The cold took her down, as it did many of us. And my other boy, and this is the hardest pill to swallow, doc. My other boy, Gregarro Ivinalititavitch… I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes, all I see is the same cowardice that I… that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only I wasn’t such a coward, then perhaps…perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all…Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I’m a moth, just barely hanging on to my web with an everlasting fire underneath me. I’m not feeling good. And so the doctor says, “Moth, man, you’re troubled. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come here?”

And the moth says, “‘Cause the light was on."

Of all the Ottawans to make it in entertainment, Norm's my favourite hands-down.

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Its Jean Jacques Rousseau for me.

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

It's throwing me off that there's the Jean Jacques Rousseau, philosopher in Europe, as well as a Jean Jacques Rousseau, philosopher who at various points was in, and is perhaps from, Ottawa.

I could just be missing something, but might you be thinking of Jacques du Gatineau, the great hope of Témiscaming, Quebec?

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Same guy actually. Changed his name

Well, a man grows.

Wait 'til you hear him tell it.

[–] groolthedemon@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I've probably watched that video from Conan O'Brien 100 times and it never fails to make me laugh every time. His delivery is just perfect.snd Conan's reaction is priceless.

If someone can shine some light on this, that would be great.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 15 points 23 hours ago

Hngh, did you say shine light?

[–] Zenith@lemm.ee 14 points 20 hours ago

Lemmy is behind the meme curve and still regularly posts stale old memes, like moth

[–] not_fond_of_reddit@lemm.ee 40 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yeah, all of a sudden… moths everywhere

[–] blackluster117@sh.itjust.works 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think someone left the lights on.
