I overheard some of my students (16-18 years old) during lunchtime today. They were all standing over a phone, looking at a photo.

"Is that a dead deer?!". "It looks like a dead deer" said another. "Oh I thought it was a dead deer too".

Then they all agreed it was a french bulldog. WTF?!

They were speaking about this meme:

It has a backstory related to recent events: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/elon-musk-laughing-at-dead-deer

Elon Musk and Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland hosted an episode of PewDiePie's YouTube series Meme Review titled "Will Smith hosts Meme Review"

Holy fucknuggets, how can there be that much cringe in one location

Man, my view of them in 2019 is sooo much different than my view of them today.

I didn't even know Roiland had been canceled until I saw this comment (yes I live under a rock)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. There’s some articles that go into how much of a hindrance he was to the actual creative process of Rick and Morty, which I found surprising and disappointing.

I only recently watched gravity falls, and man is it weird to hear his voice show up. And it really shows me just how one note he is at times.

Dude yeah I was thinking about that recently, like comparing Roiland's one-noted-ness to someone like H. Jon Benjamin's one-noted-ness, and how different they are. Like, you hear Roiland's Lemongrab, or Rick, or Morty, or the alien from Solar Opposites, and you're just like huh, the same guy voices all of those characters. They don't sound identical, but I can tell it's the same VA. But then you listen to Bob from Bob's Burgers and Archer from Archer, and Coach McGuirk from Home Videos and you almost don't realize at first that those three characters are voiced by the same guy, even though their voices are almost identical. Idk, I just think it's kinda wild

It's the fault of those woke leftist school lunch policies that kids these days eat well enough to know what fresh basil is.

(Or "kids those days ate," at least, because that policy is long gone due to Trump.)

[-] Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 27 points 2 days ago

I don't think I knew what fresh basil was till I was 30.

[-] crank0271@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago

Sorry bud, you have no credibility in this post

I don't even know what basil is because I could not care less about learning English spice names nor do I care enough to look it up. I'm guessing it's those eatable leaves though because those are called Basilikum in German. The name also allows English basil "enjoyers" to make a pun and we all know this is a sign of a correct translation.

Why in the world was that not on the chart

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Wait, where's normal Basil?

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Oh, that's "sweet basil"? Interesting, I've never seen any with those spikes on the outside of the leaves. The ones I've seen were perfectly smooth.
