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

Might also just not have English as a first language. My autocorrect does the same when I write English on it

Oh yeah for sure, I don't know why your boomers do it, but I'd just like to say that when you encounter users doing it here for example, it might also just be that they're not Anglos.

Out of curiosity, what language capitalizes words like this? I know German capitalizes every noun, but this post seems arbitrary in the way it uses uppercase letters.

I honestly don't know, my phone does it for english, but it doesn't do it for my native language - because we don't do it in Danish. I think it's just some sort of "foreigner" setting inherent to a lot of keyboards on phones

So your keyboard makes you type with an accent? lmao
