Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Oh, I understand this one.

You see, the artist is trying to express their frustration with the process. "There is no joke" because we are the joke. We are the frog, putting on our clothes to drag ourselves through the day-to-day, never taking in the absurdity of our situations, of trying to get through.

Top notch work.

Is a meme artist the same calibre as a sandwich artist? Asking for a friend

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago

My friend, they are one in the same.

What is a meme but a sandwich of words? One feeds the body, but you, you feed the soul.

Eh, I'd put a meme artist a peg above. Sandwiches are so ephemeral, a meme is forever. Or at least until compression artifacts ruin it's legibility.

You must be one of those "everything is art" people
