reddit 196 went the trans circlejerk route but they were still funny
lemmy 196 went the trans circlejerk route but I don't find them as funny
especially those submarine memes
a post I saw
"The Titanic submersible passengers have died. It's OK to celebrate. ๐ฅณ""The week has been made. The five people who went missing in the submersible exploring the Titanic wreckage ate shit, according to the authorities."
this is a real post, see for yourself
The memes are in general not โfunnyโ per se, but the situation sure is. Are you implying otherwise?
Like, funny "haha"? Or weird funny?
People died; it's about as comical as migrants drowning in the Mediterranean.
People died because of their hubristic and needlessly extravagant hobby: visiting the wreck of a vessel that famously killed people because of hubris and needless extravagance. Sure I'm not laughing out loud or celebrating their death, but you must admit there's at least a wry irony here.
People frequently die climbing Everest, but we don't pillary them for ever having tried it.
What you do in your own home is your business, but posting memes publicly for anyone (including the family of the deceased) to see is in poor taste
Actually, I call Everest the realist Tourist Trap for that reason. The cost of my hobbies cant pay for life saving medical treatments.
Oh no we all think everest ascent is stupid too. Absolutely it's in poor taste. Is this your first time on the Internet?
Idk, I just expected better I guess.
Would you say the Internet has sunk to new depths?
