    I’m annoyed by all those Facebook-type boomer comics you see on basically all meme subs. Reddit culture managed to get rid of them, but for some reason people here seem to love them

      Look, sometimes people enjoy brainless humor and that’s okay. People have hard days. Twelve hours in the field days. Sometimes people are tired and just want something easy and that’s perfectly valid.

      As the sages of old said, “It’s okay to not like things. It’s okay, but don’t be a dick about it.”

        I know, I don’t really care, I’m just replying to the thread :)

        It’s annoying but also interesting to see that people upvote different things

        This would be the last one I saw. I probably have plenty more examples in my downvotes, but I don’t think they’re accessible on Lemmy :(

            Kids don’t like anything that doesn’t have foul language, sexual innuendos, or involves subtly.

            That said, while I liked the comic linked, it had no business being posted in a meme community.

            Sincerely, A boomer

            its an old style comic that was used mostly for political cartoons back in the day but now they’re just memes. There was a sub reddit for them specifically.
