so to people here more longer than me, have the americans ruined memes as well?

Yes.

is there a non american/political memes comm?

There are area- and language-specific comms, like [email protected] or [email protected]. Not that those are completely free of american politics, but it’s much less of the content there.

A popular choice seems to be someone’s butt.

Had to look it up, but you’re right. It’s from three years earlier Republic Commando.

Clown Wars, because it was all staged.

It’s not new. It’s from the 2008 animated Clone Wars TV show 2005 video game Republic Commando. And it refers to a physical characteristic of battle droids LLMs don’t have.

Top left and botzom right look… not real.

If I had to choose between the two, I rather be in a dystopian system that preserves its dystopia with calm, naive civility rather than armed death squads.

In a similar regard to OP’s answer: why do you think that would be your only two choices, between “bad” and “worse”? Why not go another route that’s more akin to “good”?

Also I think this is less about specific aspects of dystopia and more about “Don’t let the shiny surface blind you towards the rotten core”.

but all told I’d much rather live in the Demolition Man future than Judge Dredd or Death Race 2000.

But all the dystopian elements is not necessarily the price for the improvements. The message of the movie (to me) was “don’t get fooled by some shiny surface when the core is rotten.”
And your choice is not between “bad” and “worse”. We can imagine even better futures (Star Trek Federation citizenship seems to be pretty neat (if you’re not trying to settle some fringe worlds at the cardassian border) for example), so we can work on these.

The supposed utopia is modeled after the ideal of suburban USA. That’s pretty fucking dystopic. Add to that tge prohibition of kissing, sex, Rock music, etc…

I think someone didn’t watch or utterly misunderstood the movie.

I don’t eat mushrooms, I’m safe.

I just want to fathom the borders here. If everything is a meme, why are we not posting news, games, tutorials, etc in this comm?

If I share a news article, does it become a meme? Should I post news articles here?

Is everything funny a meme? And why does it have to be funny?

Edit: also, humor is subjective. Are some things just a meme to you but not to me, and other things vice versa? Who judges what is funny?

That’s BS and you know that.

So I can start posting news links?

Not a meme though.

Affordable compared to appartments and houses.

Also there’s just a ton of anxiety needing to move around constantly. Where are you exactly where that’s not a worry?

Depends on your motivation to live in a van. My parents just moved into a pick up truck turned RV because they want to move a lot. Travel around, see the world as long as they still are able to. It’s not a thing to accomodate, it’s the real deal to them.
(Though they are kind if priviledged they can afford this with an early retirement and by selling the house they owned.)

Get that AI slop out of here.

Where meme?
