minus-squareLibertyLizard@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·edit-21 month agoI’ve been seeing this meme format for years and it still makes absolutely no sense to me.
minus-squareIndiBrony@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up20·1 month agoIt started off with something like "People say: X Object in meme says: y!" Someone made a meme saying "Nobody: Object in meme says: y" And it was amusing Then EVERYONE did it and now you might as well not even have the top part anymore. Example of original style:
minus-squareLibertyLizard@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 month agoBut what does Nobody: mean? How does it relate to the second part of the meme? Why is it funny??? I’m still confused.
minus-squareMediumGraylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up22·edit-21 month agoIt is terribly worded, so it’s unnecessarily confusing and unclear, but it means ‘nobody says (or does) anything’, thus indicating that the second action is unprompted.
minus-squareLibertyLizard@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoThank you. I’m getting some slightly different answers here though so I wonder if everyone even agrees on what this means.
minus-squaresomethingp@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoI agree with medium gray’s interpretation
minus-squareruk_n_rul@monyet.cclinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 month agoNobody followed by blank means that nobody else is saying, doing, or thinking of whatever the last subject is doing
minus-squareHammocks4All@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 month agoAs far as I understand it’s supposed to mean the whatever thing is uncalled for.
