2018

What's with the current resurgence?

Someone: MOTH

Everyone: I guess we doin moth now.

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago

First it was the beans. Then it was the guy who couldn't poop. Now it's moths. What don't you understand?

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

So this moth walks into a podiatrist's office...

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 70 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You know, when it was beans or jeans or whatever that one guy was spamming like crazy, It stuck out like a sore thumb to me. I found it rather tiresome TBH. But with the moths, I just laughed. Perhaps I've seen the light?

A round of applause for the brother/sister who has now found the light!!!

Limp.

No hate towards Norway though.

[–] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

It was a big long fad on reddit like a year ago. I guess it is just finally making it to lemmy

Don't worry about it. Just follow the light, let it guide you

[–] Alistaire@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It's just one guy posting all these shit

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good initiative though IMO.

What about cakes next?

[–] GiantChickDicks@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 day ago

Be the change you want to see in the world! I believe in you!

If someone can shine some light on this, that would be great.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Hngh, did you say shine light?

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Guys I'm disappointed in y'all. the answer is stupid simple:

LAMP

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

In my experience it's more about nginx these days.

Someone invested heavily in moths and lamp memes. Gotta unload the stale goods somewhere.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 1 day ago

My guess is: summer.

A moth goes into a podiatrist’s office, and the podiatrist’s office says, “What seems to be the problem, moth?”

The moth says “What’s the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Illinivich, and all day long I work. Honestly doc, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know if Gregory Illinivich knows. He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness. But I don’t know, I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there… at night I…I sometimes wake up and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm. A lady that I once loved, doc. I don’t know where to turn to. My youngest, Alexendria, she fell in the…in the cold of last year. The cold took her down, as it did many of us. And my other boy, and this is the hardest pill to swallow, doc. My other boy, Gregarro Ivinalititavitch… I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes, all I see is the same cowardice that I… that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only I wasn’t such a coward, then perhaps…perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all…Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I’m a moth, just barely hanging on to my web with an everlasting fire underneath me. I’m not feeling good. And so the doctor says, “Moth, man, you’re troubled. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come here?”

And the moth says, “‘Cause the light was on."

Wait 'til you hear him tell it.

I've probably watched that video from Conan O'Brien 100 times and it never fails to make me laugh every time. His delivery is just perfect.snd Conan's reaction is priceless.

Lemmy is behind the meme curve and still regularly posts stale old memes, like moth

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 19 points 2 days ago

Just go with it. it's a funny meme vs actual news. teehee

[–] Townlately@feddit.nl 11 points 2 days ago

There was a bean season, now we have moth season.

[–] Broadfern@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

SnokenKeekaGuard (pillar of the shitposting community) has been compelled by the spirit of lepidopterology and commenced a dedicated wave of mothposting.

Embrace it.
