And that's why the people of the Sword Coast think that Aluminum dragons fart fire.

"They're weird looking dragons, I tell you. They fly really fast but somehow do it without flapping their wings, they have short, fat tails, and when they go really fast they blow jets of fire out their arses!"

There is no antiememetics division

Isn't an antimeme something that's impossible to remember?

It's an anti joke that's utilizing an image macro that itself is a meme.

I'm taking about r/antimeme type. A lot of things are accepted there, but usually, it's just when you use a well established meme template completely differently from what is expected. Could be an anti-joke/literal usage of the meme, but not always.

That would be the actual definition, yes. But many if not most people who use the word "meme" to mean "funny picture and caption" don't actually know what the word meme refers to. So they go by some definition originating from Reddit, Facebook, 4chan, etc.

I believe antimemes being memes is a meme.

We've been here before

[–] Flushmaster@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 years ago

Kind of. As a concept but not the definition people that use it attribute to it. The act of people getting that definition wrong is itself a memetic behavior.

Reminds me of Rome Sweet Rome.

I was hoping that series or movie would ever materialize, but it always was a very long shot.

[–] Khrux@ttrpg.network 4 points 2 years ago

Honestly I feel it was way more exciting in concept than execution anyway. Hell, I think it would make a fantastic TTRPG setting, since it's strongest in premise and has strong ludo-narrative cohesion falling between a narrative game and a wargame.

Reddit license, ducking up things since forever.

they're america's familiars.

I'm pretty sure I've seen this before but it makes me chuckle every time.

[–] DontMakeMoreBabies@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Feels like something from Malazaan - ancient dragon getting blown tf up with an explosive bomb comes to mind...

There is a comic that I can't remember the title of right now. But the plot is basically the whole country of Japan gets Isekai'd, land and all

[–] Attaxalotl@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Summoning Japan / Nihonkoku Shoukan

Where they kill an Oni with a 35mm autocannon

[–] bitfucker@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago

Yes, that's it! Now that you mentioned it I've started to re read it. It was as wack as I remember lol. And it was an ogre btw!

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago

those are clearly F-16s headed to the Ukraine and then Russia

It reminds me more of "The Road Not Taken", by Harry Turtledove: https://youtu.be/aXhCX7lr2tM
