Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

They probably have dementia and can no longer remember the fantastic fun times they had in their 20s ..... in 1910s Russia!

If she can survive a Russian monarchy, a Russian revolution, the First World War, the Second World war and Nazi invasion, Russian Communist Authoritarianism, forced relocation to Siberia, Soviet government control, the fall of the Soviet Union, Russian oligarchs and modern day Social Media ..... I think we can survive what is happening today.

Human crave thriving. Surviving is just a slow painful death.

I want more than just to survive.

Survive yes, but she was powerless to prevent any of it. Spent her whole life working and hoping for the "fantastic fun times" to begin, eventually realizing she was too old to have them, but was in too much of the habit of surviving to stop.

I would've assumed this person was Russian even if the name hadn't been available. This is why Russian art is so good. So many of them are absolutely miserable.

Isn't the oldest Jeanne Calment, who turned 122 and then died?

Koku Istambulova died in 2019, at the reported age of 129. Her age was never officially validated.

Between 128 and 129, she apparently remembered exactly one happy day, according to the daily mail, which I will not link to as I don't want to give them traffic, but quoting:

Koku made headlines last year (2018) by saying she had only lived a single happy day in her long life - when she entered the home she built with her own hands on return from exile in Kazakhstan
