[–] far_university1990@reddthat.com 10 points 11 hours ago

Someone: MOTH

Everyone: I guess we doin moth now.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago

So this moth walks into a podiatrist's office...

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 2 points 11 hours ago

My guess is: summer.

[–] Mustakrakish@lemmy.world 9 points 18 hours ago

It was a big long fad on reddit like a year ago. I guess it is just finally making it to lemmy

Someone invested heavily in moths and lamp memes. Gotta unload the stale goods somewhere.

[–] whimsy@lemmy.zip 25 points 1 day ago

Don't worry about it. Just follow the light, let it guide you

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 65 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You know, when it was beans or jeans or whatever that one guy was spamming like crazy, It stuck out like a sore thumb to me. I found it rather tiresome TBH. But with the moths, I just laughed. Perhaps I've seen the light?

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A round of applause for the brother/sister who has now found the light!!!

The Moth Enlightenment Era has begun.

[–] Alistaire@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It's just one guy posting all these shit

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Good initiative though IMO.

What about cakes next?

Guys I'm disappointed in y'all. the answer is stupid simple:

LAMP

In my experience it's more about nginx these days.

If someone can shine some light on this, that would be great.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

Hngh, did you say shine light?

A moth goes into a podiatrist’s office, and the podiatrist’s office says, “What seems to be the problem, moth?”

The moth says “What’s the problem? Where do I begin, man? I go to work for Gregory Illinivich, and all day long I work. Honestly doc, I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. I don’t even know if Gregory Illinivich knows. He only knows that he has power over me, and that seems to bring him happiness. But I don’t know, I wake up in a malaise, and I walk here and there… at night I…I sometimes wake up and I turn to some old lady in my bed that’s on my arm. A lady that I once loved, doc. I don’t know where to turn to. My youngest, Alexendria, she fell in the…in the cold of last year. The cold took her down, as it did many of us. And my other boy, and this is the hardest pill to swallow, doc. My other boy, Gregarro Ivinalititavitch… I no longer love him. As much as it pains me to say, when I look in his eyes, all I see is the same cowardice that I… that I catch when I take a glimpse of my own face in the mirror. If only I wasn’t such a coward, then perhaps…perhaps I could bring myself to reach over to that cocked and loaded gun that lays on the bedside behind me and end this hellish facade once and for all…Doc, sometimes I feel like a spider, even though I’m a moth, just barely hanging on to my web with an everlasting fire underneath me. I’m not feeling good. And so the doctor says, “Moth, man, you’re troubled. But you should be seeing a psychiatrist. Why on earth did you come here?”

And the moth says, “‘Cause the light was on."

Of all the Ottawans to make it in entertainment, Norm's my favourite hands-down.

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Its Jean Jacques Rousseau for me.

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

It's throwing me off that there's the Jean Jacques Rousseau, philosopher in Europe, as well as a Jean Jacques Rousseau, philosopher who at various points was in, and is perhaps from, Ottawa.

I could just be missing something, but might you be thinking of Jacques du Gatineau, the great hope of Témiscaming, Quebec?

[–] SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Same guy actually. Changed his name

Well, a man grows.

Wait 'til you hear him tell it.

[–] groolthedemon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've probably watched that video from Conan O'Brien 100 times and it never fails to make me laugh every time. His delivery is just perfect.snd Conan's reaction is priceless.

Ask your moth-er

[–] Zenith@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago

Lemmy is behind the meme curve and still regularly posts stale old memes, like moth

[–] Antagnostic@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago
[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago

Just go with it. it's a funny meme vs actual news. teehee

[–] Townlately@feddit.nl 11 points 1 day ago

There was a bean season, now we have moth season.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

If there's one thing sites like this are good at, it's flogging a joke to death, sometimes to the point where it becomes funny again. Not quite there yet. ;)

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago

Bean there done that
