Just kind of realizing that this nursery rhyme is a ripoff of the Myth of Sisyphus, which is a way better story to tell children.
I recently picked up a factory job where I have to push heavy ass carts around all night. I’ve been thinking about Sisyphus a lot lately, but I know that if I get past this part the job turns into an idle game so that’s cool
Just imagine yourself happy, simple as that!
Literally every time I walk into work I look around and think to myself “One must imagine Sisyphus happy” and then go grab a cart
This ignores the fact that the sun came out and dried up all the rain
Just because the spider is dry doesn’t mean it doesn’t have to handle the mental anguish of being beaten down once again by the rain. Just another day in the crushing machine we call the water cycle to a sun-dry-apologist like yourself
I know but it’s only 2025.
I feel like shit that was suppose to happen in 2040 is happening now and I just wish I had a little bit more time to get my shit together.
Lock in.
Get your shit together and go back up the spout. 🕷️
No time like now.
Where are you from that you learnt it as ‘itsy bitsy’? I always was taught the rhyme ‘incy wincey’ spider.
An American friend sent me the meme
It’s a pollution from “itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow poker dot bikini”. Human information and knowledge is all being boiled down into a gelatinous soup of half-know faint memory that can never be relied upon.
Maybe, I’ve only heard “itsy bitsy” my whole life (American)
Canada if sure
My grandmother taught me that little rhyme along with the hand movements some 50 years ago. Never thought about it until I saw this.
She would appreciate the hell out of this meme.
