No need for the text at the top. The pic itself is great!

The text is great because I heard the song in my head.

Why are here so many old memes?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

let me guess you've arrived recently here to Lemmy

So, the primordial lifeblood of Lemmy consisted of historical memes. It was the thing that kept the feed going for many weeks in the beginning, and we still see echoes of that. It makes me glad because I feel I'm in a cozy, familiar corner of the Internet, replaying an entire lifetime of memes here. It's as if meme culture was reincarnating in this very network of federated servers (ಥ ͜ʖಥ)

You and I are not alike... I'd rather see new memes over old nostalgic memes

Shrek has had enough with people in his swamp.

Christians fucking hate grammar. He has risen or He is rising. Why this monstrosity?!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think it is necessarily bad grammer, maybe it is obsolete? Keep in mind I am not a native speaker.

"Risen" in this case is not a verb but acts more like an adjective, "the one who has risen". I always interpret sentences like this as "He is the one who has risen."

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think the simple explanation is they suck at grammar and write "He's risen" not recognizing the 's with the auxiliary verb means has.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I actually think they are using "risen" as an adjective... Descriptive of a person who has risen from the dead. See, "He is fucked"

If that is the case, the grammar is fine.

They're quoting the KJV of the Bible, it's incorrect in modern language, but I found this:

"It's an archaic use of English which conjugates verbs of motion with be in present perfect, in much the same way as French still does. The statement is the equivalent of "Christ has risen" and is stating a present-perfect fact."
