    I KNOW RIGHT???

    And people were like “oh the killer carved UWU what’s this and Helldivers 2 memes on his bullets, that’s common in Groyper circles”

    Bro are you talking aboutttttt, what do you mean???
    I just find it absurd how these niche-in-a-niche-in-a-niche communities develop and how seemingly random bits of internet culture turn into dogwhistles inside, it reaches a point where I’m just like dude, our lizard brains can’t handle the internet. We just weren’t wired to work like this, there’s no way

      I really, truly, with all of my being, feel that we are reaching the end limits of what the human mind is currently able to contend with. We are so overstimulated it’s insane. We literally need to evolve our physical bodies as a species to continue living as we are or we will literally die.

        There is no limit. Things are really really bad? They can always get worse. Rock bottom is a flawed analogy.

        Sorry man, but it’s going to get worse before it gets better.

        And I have no idea if it’s ever getting better

          I don’t even want to bring up brain chips, there’s plenty of people who already think they have them. Imagine the psychosis.

      I saw someone who described the murder as a shitpost and that scarily makes sense.

      seemingly random bits of internet culture turn into dogwhistles

      My favorite thing is the neonazis wearing pleated khakis. Like, the only item of clothing even nerdier than that is lederhosen.

        My nephew is being sent to an evangelical school whose uniform is khakis and a choice of a red or blue polo shirt. Want to guess which color is social suicide?

        Im no longer talking to that part of my family.

      I’m a grown-ass, nearly 40 year-old family man, and I fucking know what “uwu” is. These idiots think they’re “exposing the conspiracy”, when in reality anyone who has spent more than 4 seconds researching any meme would immediately recognize it.

        It wasn’t even “uwu” meme

        It was the “OwO what’s this?” Meme. Which makes it even weirder/funnier/messed up

            One is a generic emoticon, while “OwO what’s this?” is an (in)famous meme from the furry fandom

          I still don’t understand, but I learned one thing, when a meme seems to do not have a meaning, it’s fascists crap.

          Those guys always miss humor totally.

          Same difference. It’s used interchangeably.

            eh, not really.

            one is more a “uwu sowwy” the other is surprised/shocked/curious expression

        It’s this face. Like :) is a smile and xD is supposed to be somebody laughing so hard their eyes have squinted shut.

        owo is the same face, but the eyes are open.

        Edit: I have misread. You do understand it lmao
