Meme Monday!

Today's cover image comes from last week's thread.

DEV is an inclusive space! Humor in poor taste will be downvoted by mods.

Reminder: Every day is Meme Monday on DUMB DEV ✨

Memes in pure css is rad! It's all fun and games until the html guy starts creating memes using svg paths

Let's start this week off with an AI-generated meme to riff on last week's cover pic.

This one is basically the same exact joke but with a caption which is either unfunny or incredibly funny, I'm not sure.

Oh it's incredibly funny. Because most dev memes are either self deprecating or poking fun at some someone else's workflow.

meme mondays always crack me up, but i gotta ask - you ever feel like certain jokes have limits or should anything go as long as folks have fun?

I think it's kind of a "don't hate the player, hate the game" situation. Roasting yourself, teasing about outdated or clunky tooling, chiding about poor practices, or taking a dig at a big entity for something they should have known better not to do are all fair game. But nobody likes to be personally insulted. Take for example the meme at the bottom of this page. Had they left out the "you're just stupid" part, it would have been funny and gotten plenty of upvotes. Instead, it'll be either downvoted by mods or ignored entirely. Humor is a delicate thing, not everyone can walk that line gracefully.

You asked an important question. @ben says in his post that DEV is an inclusive space and that humour in poor taste will be downvoted by mods, so not everything goes. I understand it as we should respect each other, keep things professional and keep the NSFW things private.

I mean, the top image at first glance has an understandable initial reaction of "lol they dead, they won't click it" which makes sense but you need to realize that the government needs to deal with people falsely declared dead as its not as uncommon as one would think. Not sure its a meme or actually a feature there to help real people.

gotta love meme mondays, always makes stuff lighter - you think humor actually helps folks stick around in tech communities?
