dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

My head canon is someone in the tech industry hates computers and is purposefully self sabotaging to get us off of them

I think it is more boring and stupid. The tech industry has engineers and scientists who builds stuff but the executive controlling it, the public using it and politicians regulating it insists to believe that a magic genie lives inside the computer.

Sometimes the genie is benevolent and can fix the economy, answer all your questions with absolute certainty, fix every social problem and rid you of the burden of having to enploy people to do stuff. Other times the genie is evil and he will tell the evil SeeSeePee everything about you and let Russia decide the outcome of the election.

But in any case the computer is magic and has unlimited abilities.

Yeah I think that’s the case in reality but it’s funny to imagine some guy sitting in Google going “e-NOUGH!”
