"Memes"[edit | edit source]

Some instances of internet phenomena are clever and witty.

Others have been scientifically proven by the best scientists in the science world to be so fucking moronic that for every millisecond you look at it, you lose at least 10,000 brain cells. Most "memes" are that moronic.

We will not be listing any of these "memes" for your own safety.

Those wishing to view them for themselves are advised to prepare themselves both physically and psychologically.

It has been proposed that “memes” may be weaponised as a weapon of mass destruction to eliminate all true intellectuals from society.
