      You complain about overused memes on Lemmy. I complain that my butt itches. We are not the same.

      Maybe, but someone keeps upvoting just because it’s content so every cow is milkable on these fertile lands

      It was overused the first time it was used. “We are not the same” is such elitist garbage. I can’t believe a meme used for looking down on people and being arrogant has seen such wide use.

        While I agree that some folk would do anything to see themselves above other people I think you might be missing the irony of the meme

          Yeah lol it’s almost always ironic-- “You do this thing for some normal reason. I do it for a weird reason that may reveal a salient character flaw.”

          If somebody did use it to actually self-elevate or gatekeep, that would be pretty cringe. But almost all of the usage I see is ironic.
