That’s the pitcher I use to refill my humidifier! Does the meme represent the dichotomy between humidifier in winter and lemonade in summer?
To be honest, I’m so sexual-relationsing old that I remember when the word meme actually meant something before it was appropriated and adapted for use to refer to the digital images we share electronically after adding text over them.
I too read the selfish gene back in the days. Not when it was new but before internet memes were a thing
I do not call them “memes” anymore, I just say “look at this image” or “look this video”
Lemonade
🔥🔥🔥
This completely fucks up this painting because it is not a pipe it is an image of a pipe but it is a meme and one that makes me irrationally angry at that.
It’s not a meme, it’s an image of a meme!
This is the original, but the “my brother in christ” part was the n word.
Sooo not the original then?
eh, this is the version that went viral
me too thanks
Am I right or am I right?
I get it, the pitcher represents the dichotomy of good and evil!
there should be a file format for image + overlay text
With the extension .meme of course

The jug represents the simple pleasures of youth. Common to households across America, it would regularly be used to store a variety of sweetened beverages, from lemonade to iced tea to concentrated orange juice. The emptiness of the bottle signals the hollowness of nostalgia as we can only cling to the imagery even as we long for the sweetness within.
This meme reminds us that memes themselves are a throwback to a bygone day. In analyzing the symbolism, we seek to recreate the moment of blissful innocence. But we are bound by the chains of memory, able only to see but never touch the essence of the thing before us.
The text mostly just obstructs the image. You can ignore it.

Really? I interpreted the text in this meme as a rich commentary on the nature of textual interpretation.
- Consider: “is the glass half full or half empty?” In this image the answer is unclear, obscured by the text.
- In the same way, language interposes itself between us as thinking beings and the objective world.
- Together, these point to the nature of subjectivity in interpretation: is the jug half empty or half full? We cannot even reach the empty/full dichotomy (which is so necessary for the expression of our subjective interpretations) because of the obscuring nature of language.
I bet you excelled in your Literature classes.
We used to call these “image macros.”
Before that these were captions.
New challenge: put the last text you wrote on the last picture you downloaded.
Wtf
It’s funny because it’s true
The nuance that makes this false is that the water will eventually get bored and seek another job.
“Are you talking personally or the guy in the photo?”
