Especially with niche internet culture like here on Lemmy. Very few people understand the “highly sophisticated” bean memes we’ve got.
"So a guy asking how not to shit for a weekend was funny for a whole month?"
When you put it that way we sound weird!
Wait, there's actual context behind the bean memes? I've been missing out.
The not shitting guy came before the beans. The beans were mindless. The not shitting guy was an enigma.
I have been around when the bean meme came and I still don't know how that meme started.
Nobody does but we all just pretend
The best memes are buried in 6 layers of irony and meta-references.
And accessed via a proxy of 6 VPNs
What the fuck did you just say about me?
Explaining loss humor is impossible
So like, she had a miscarriage and is crying about it and her boyfriend makes it just in time to see the results and uh yeah it's the funniest thing ever why are you leaving
No, wait, it gets better. Get this. Circle jerk about it for a couple of decades and it gets funnier, oh, OK, still going.
At least the ඞmongus generation understands the fun in hiding references everywhere.
I tried explaining to a SO why stappling bread to trees was funny or why "Cat." was peak humor.
I don't think I've ever seen someone questioning my sanity and theirs by association this clearly in any other conversation.

Oh no there's a bear in my bed!
Nope!
Honestly, things like that remind me how vast the internet is. There are some things that I think are just ubiquitous that my friend has never heard of before. She had never heard of Creepy Pastas. She had never seen Long Long Man. She didn't know what an SCP was. I was baffled. Made me think about my own digital world, and what sources I may be completely blind to.
Me explaining why anything is the way it is at work...
Well you see...before I started they had this hare-brained idea, and I've been trying to fix it every year since.
Literally our lead developer:
"you wouldn't be so confident in the results if you saw the half-assed code I whipped up for than in a single afternoon five years ago"
My career has been long enough that in hindsight I've been the one with the harebrained idea and I swear it was a good idea at the time!
so uh this guy once ordered a pizza with no toppings but only beef on the left side and that's why I have a 40-year-old man's face on my shirt with a pizza background.
Memes are art.
There are tiers? I must not be an internet person.
the tiers are just that user's headcanon, actually memes are on a spectrum of interdependency

Classic, eternal.
Ceiling cat haz contempt for your puny 7 years of historical warez. Leave Brittany alone with your shallow funnies.
... Britney. Britney.
Christ, that meme's old enough to drop bombs on Yemen.
Leave Brittany alone
OG reference right there.
I often laugh about things that are not always funny haha but sometimes horrible nonsense. So now when I laugh about it, my wife gives me the "do I want to know or not" look and I have an escape route to tell her its not really something funny or something she wouldn't think is funny
You sonofabitch, I'm in.
So there's this kid and it's about a heist parody...wait let me start over. Theres this show with a smart old guy and a kid, kinda like back to the future, but like.....

This phrase confuses me.
I think they mean not clinically online.
