The existence of Harambe implies the existence of Halalbe

absolutely halal

I randomly drunkenly said that to my partner a while ago, apropos of nothing. No idea why it popped into my head.

For others like me who have no clue what this meme is about:

In 2016, a 3-year old got into the Gorilla enclosure, where he was grabbed and dragged around by a gorilla, Harambe, which was then shot.

and the timeline hasn't felt right since

Harambe was the last vestigial of freedom, locked in a cage and then shot to death for acting of his own volition. /s

That's when the shift happened. Downfall of the US. Video games slapping you with my over quality. Nature preserves declining at an embarrassing rate

We were all so young

So if time travel gets invented, someone should travel back to 2016 to prevent the child from getting into the enclosure and everything will be good.

And then Elon musk made a shitty rap about it 3 years later for some reason.

Oh I'm sorry, are you not prepared to suffer any consequences at all for an important cause? Fucking tourist.

Should I put mine back in and take it out again? Mine was already out.

Next year it will be ten years since Harambe died.

Good on this kid for wearing a suit to his interview for a teenaged part time job.

Bad on him for what he did to my boy.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I think the kid is a victim of poor parenting and should be given a bit of slack, but the parents should have been hanged, in my opinion.

This is a meme comment section, you get outta here with your logic and temperence.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It has been a long, long ten years.

I was told time would speed up as I aged.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

2019 alone might as well be 10 years ago.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 15 hours ago

It was also yesterday.

It all started with that damn gorilla

[–] [email protected] 16 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Please, no blasphemy.

Also, it didn't start with Harambe... it started with the end of the world in 2012. Harambe was just another casualty of the Mayan Calendar.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

And the large hadron collider, which was first turned on in 2012, ending existence immediately - as predicted by the Mayans.

Right? We're all dead, what you are experiencing is your last few moments of life stretched out into decades as the chemical and electrical events that in your brain, that keep track of time and interpreted your senses, slow and dull and flicker out. The last gasps and glimmers of a fleeting consciousness hurled into the dark.
