    This joke was barely passable when we were 12yr olds telling it on the school. How the fuck a bunch of adults just upvoted this meme I cannot begin to fathom…

      Oh no, the huge meme community has jokes everyone gets :,(

      I too wish there were more memes that only Smart™ people like us could understand, what a world we live in where humor isn’t niche

        Bro it’s not that they’re easy to comprehend, it’s that they’re tired, stale, and trite. Peak boomer humor.

        Come on man, do you really want to see “new hip kid on the block” lemmy immediately leapfrog over reddit and dive straight into becoming Facebook memes?

        Have some fucking standards, goddamn.

      A full one third of the population of the United States cannot name even one branch of government, only 26% can name all three. The meme still works because people are still dumb and you can easily make fun of them over the stuff we knew when we were 12.
