664 Name: (*゚ー゚) : 1993-09-9045 23:12

I don't think it's much like diet 4chan at all, for one thing. Even amongst textboards it's always had a different kinda vibe, to me at least.

>Weird how there are SJWs who used to contribute to DQN electronics Ann’s yet there are also racist stories here too

That's a funny one too, as if the presence of one rules out the other. I agree a bit in that I was disappointed by the racist arguing recently, that was pretty new. And I guess I was proved right that it kinda let the side down, since someone got an impression of the whole site from those exchanges, but then that's also dumb to assume one anonymous poster speaks for a whole board.
A lot of those memes aren't really relevant to this place either, as mentioned by SWIM.
I am entertained though, it is a fresh kind of entertainment I guess, well done ┐('〜`;)┌

It's wilful ignorance in the same way that it's wilful ignorance when I don't read the allergy information before I eat a bar of chocolate, or "wilfully" not knowing what happened in the latest episode of some TV show. But please, tell me more about it dear 668-kun! I get a titter out of Americans thinking the world would end without them.

long post no one cares about
doesn't really fit the snarky/curt/lighthearted nature of the site, but I've been drinking

stopped living in the now and I'm living in the past
wondering how long this shit will last

bad memories and introspection
shitty poetry and catharsis
doesn't always have to rhyme

jumped out the window, but it didn't work
just got hurt
broke bones and went to the hospital
feeling absolutely awful
nobody visited me
profound melancholy

closed that chapter in my life
my loser friend now has a wife
not sure how he pulled that off

look at facebook profiles for a while
waiting for my code to compile
macbook fan sounds like a jet
do I regret this purchase yet?
got no game, only options are old flames
dreary look through the yearbook
remember when I made you shook
not anymore
you turned into a basic whore
and I'm a fucking lame developer
now I'm dead to her
parted ways like parted hair
life doesn't need to be fair
congratulations on graduatin'
mista thug isolation

can't get over existential dread
maybe I'd be better off dead
but I'll keep on truckin' anyway
maybe something good will happen one day
not now, but eventually
you and me

miss my old friends
drop acid with you like back in the day
pretend that everything's like how it used to be
but we can never go back

reading books critical of technology
and they really resonates with me
neoluddism is the way to go
manifest destiny

technology sucks ass
social media was a mistake

bills and taxes
in theory and practice
consumed by nihilism and a lack of purpose
buy more, watch more, do less
is this the endgame of society?
using purchasing habits to define your personality
disgusting
mass media is gross too

buy fancy new shit to replace your old tech
but it can never fill the void in your life
your old shit taking up space in landfills
turning flat lands into trash hills

paying off student loan debt
am I there yet?
do I regret it? I think not
an important experience but it costs a fucking lot

no one will ever care
pie in the sky aspirations that went nowhere
the next bill gates? yeah right
making shitty apps to afford a place to sleep at night

the american dream is dead
but the american nightmare has never been more real

apathy is easy and apathy is cool
but sometimes you gotta open up and stop being a massive tool
can't be stoic 24/7

unfulfilling consumerism and modernity
what the fuck is wrong with me
going through the motions
strange emotions

a remote access trojan with persistence via a BIOS rootkit
animals being born and slaughtered just so we can eat and shit
pollute the planet and have our way with it
"here for a good time, not a long time"
destroying the planet is a serious crime

goldilocks conditions for life are very uncommon
and we're throwing that all away so a few people can get rich
while other people starve or don't have access to healthcare
or they're victims of abuse and no one cares
lack of upward mobility means many can't go anywhere

botnet command and control on GitHub Gist
why the fuck does the universe exist?

a rich dystopia is still a dystopia
moral compasses have all but disappeared
people can't debate anymore -- have you been CURRENT YEAR'd?

hanging out with friends but still feeling alone
too many notifications on this stupid ass phone
if you want good friends, you have to be a good friend
can't think of relationships as just a means to an end

I don't know what I'm doing
do you?

Qualities of successful memes:
• Brief
• Simple, but not TOO simple, otherwise it won't be able to generate discussion or interest
• Confident
• Can't take itself too seriously
• Usually can't be too high-effort
• Easy to understand, even without context (though having backstory/context can add more depth to it)
• Accidental or natural, not some forced "please make this into a meme" shit
• Easily changeable (variation on a theme) so people can add their own spin to it -- derivatives are just as important as the original
• Easily repeatable
• No watermarks, generally no credit to whoever made it -- separating art from the artist
• Posted at the right time and place -- where it is matters just as much as what it is
• Can be used as a reaction rather than as a standalone piece of media
Repeatability
• Funny
• Sometimes, something is a meme simply because it pops up a lot. You think it's funnier when you see it more often. Other times, a meme is only funny at first, and then ages like milk.
• Generally, memes have a lifespan. Old memes shouldn't be posted, especially by corporate social media accounts, because then gen Z will think they're trying too hard to appeal to kids without actually knowing how to do it ("how do you do, fellow kids?") -- conjures up images of out of touch executives in a board room discussing how to appeal to demographics they don't understand
• Being related to current events can help in the short term, but it will ultimately decrease the overall lifespan/trending time of the meme, once said event is no longer current
• Small file size -- can't be too horribly compressed, but it can't be so big that it's unable to be posted on major social media platforms
• If it's visual, a square-ish aspect ratio helps, since people use landscape and portrait mode on their various devices these days, so tall and skinny or wide and short only look good on certain screens and rotations, but not all
• Can't be too big or high resolution -- people will be viewing it on small phone screens, so text or objects in the image need to be bold and easy to see, even if people save it and recompress it, adding more JPEG compression
• Having a unique name can help, so people will be able to find it on google if they try to look it up, as opposed to something generic like "that one weird image"
• The audience is never wrong. If you make content and people don't like it, don't blame the people who are viewing it. The fault is with you. Either you're posting it in the wrong place, or it just isn't good.
• It's not good if you have to justify it or explain it. It should be easy to understand and easy to like.
• Being very specific to a small niche, or being offensive, mean that there will be the capability for a small group to really enjoy it, but it has to be more general and inoffensive if you want it to reach mass appeal. Of course, this is the same problem with pop music -- in order to please lots of people slightly, you have to be bland, so nobody gets obsessively into it. Breadth vs. depth.
• Timeless qualities help extend the life of a meme. Technology and politics age poorly and quickly, so they are definitely not timeless.
