    This is just the latest trend of shitpost, I mean we had beans, we had Beef Stroganoff, and now people are posting Jemes, each time people say they are fed up with it after a couple days. This too shall pass.

      Because new people are hopping on the bandwagon late so instead of the shit lasting a couple of days it becomes over a week of shit

        Yep it’s the low-effort AI generated stuff that’s the problem. Some people just… aren’t funny, sorry 😅

          Same thing happens in the communities for AI images. Some user will make a picture of a clever idea, but then other users copy the idea and beat the dead horse.

          I don’t get it. They literally have the tools to make images of any idea, and they choose to use it to make somebody else’s idea over and over.

            Depends - sometimes you see a concept that you think you can improve on. Or maybe you read about their workflow how they did the image, learn something new and want to add your own spin. I don’t think, that’s a problem per se, as art is often iterating and innovating and that this is the root of creativity.

            The problem is more when everyone does it and the whole community gets flooded with the same image concepts/jokes. In this case, the AI communities may get hit even worse in this regard, as it’s very easy to generate images and there’s less skill needed than if you had to draw/photoshop/… the whole meme all by yourself, which means it’s easier to enter the dead-horse-beating.

    Don’t know whether to upvote for the comic being funny or downvote for the “you’re not having fun the right way!” lecture…

    Ah fuck it, I’ll do the former.

      When half your feed becomes nothing but trousers and beans and planes, it gets really fatiguing after the umpteenth day of it in a row. It was amusing for a bit, but people have taken that ball too far for my own personal enjoyment.

        And that’s absolutely fine. You’re allowed to not enjoy stuff. Lecturing others for enjoying stuff together without hurting anyone, on the other hand, is just petty and authoritarian fun policing in my opinion, though 🤷

          I always love how it’s the people advocating for an unregulated shit show calling everyone else facists if we won’t let you destroy something that others enjoy.

      Bean posting was just a decades old rehash of a trend. It’s really not much better.

      At least with Stroganoff, it had a funny origin(Google Opinion Survey asking if you want “important updates about Beef Stroganoff”).

      Most of these are just “hrrr drrr this is dumb so let’s trend it”.
