I might be mistaken, but I think this style was pioneered by Welcome to my Meme Page.

OP, the Kbin link should have /m/ instead of /c/ to work.

I don’t understand why people think OP doesn’t know it’s satire.

Remember when /r/conspiracy was satire. Or BirdsArentReal, or FlatEarth?

Yeah, turns out there’s a reason satire is hugely divisive. Dumb people and many ND can’t tell the difference lol.

Anything that is subject to Poe’s law is going to be divisive shit that polarizes people. You are 100% sure it’s satire and your uncle is going to be 100% sure it’s meant to be taken seriously. Everybody laughs at thw counterpart and retreats further in their original opinion.

Turns out there’s a bug in the client I’m using and it wasn’t showing the comment about anti-intellectualism. All the comments I could see were replies to that comment that I couldn’t see, so I assumed they were replies to OP.

You may be misinterpreting the meme - it’s meant to be intentionally silly, anti-anti-intellectual if anything. “YEARS yet no REAL WORLD USE found for counting any higher than your FINGERS” is definitely poking fun at people who think that higher academic notions are useless.

This. That was my initial reaction before checking out the community. Your description is accurate, although I kinda wish they didn’t choose that community name. Lol.

Loving your username, btw, PugJesus.

Except that it is clearly satire - it’s poking fun at the idea of anti-intellectualism.

Having said that, one could argue Poe’s law - it can be hard to tell these days what’s satire and what’s not, and not everybody is laughing at anti-intellectualism

I wanted to say that nobody in their right mind would take these seriously. But then I remembered the general state of mind of people.

I saw someone else post this:

The legal presumption of the “reasonable person”, often criticised by legal scholars, has most successfully been debunked, of all things, by social media.

The right state of mind is boring. People only want boring when excitement becomes tiresome.

Thanks, we needed this community

New Communities
[email protected]
Create a post

A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

Rules

The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.

A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rulebreaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.

B. No illegal content.

C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.

3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.

Formatting

Please include this following format in your post:

[link text](/c/[email protected])

This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won’t

You should also include either:

[email protected]

or instance.com/c/community

FAQ:

Q: Why do I get a 404?

A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.

Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?

A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn’t get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn’t actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.
