The key to doing well is remembering that Alexander the Great was a 20 year old gay drunk when he conquered the world, Bruce Lee was a former street thug who died of a headache, and Gandhi was maybe probably a pedophile. So you're probably doing just fine, all things considered.

And remember kids, Teddy Roosevelt was an asthmatic that became president, broke trusts, and did badass things before dying in his sleep, FDR managed to become president while not having functioning legs four times, Wojtek was a polish bear that fought in WW2; like, a real bear, can you believe that? Don't worry Teneb, if a bear can fight a war, you can present an article.

[TD1]

He HAS presented an article. Perhaps you should say "if Teneb can present an article, then a bear can fight a war!"

[JoshuaFH]

From looking at the graphs, we can see that Tenebs presenting articles and bears fighting wars have a clear, direct correlation!

I endorse this information.

Also was fun explaining what Pepe was to a bunch (which means 10, obviously) what a meme is, what Pepe is and how it was appropriated by the american Alt-Right and is now racist.

So....is the OK hand sign racist now? Because that's something floating around nowadays too

I'm still confused how a benign frog cartoon got to be racist shorthand.

I haven't studied it specifically, but... even if its currently not, it could become if people insist that it is. I imagine that appropriation of it will actually be harder since it's not a random internet meme, but something far older. Also what you call the OK sign is the "get fucked in the arsehole" sign here.

It was a combination of factors. Trump supporters and the alt-right in general started using Pepe memes and making their own variations; some obviously racist or xenophobic. The first depiction of Trump as Pepe was of a Trump-toupee'd Pepe standing in front of the US border with sad mexicans on the other side back in 2015 (am having lunch, so can't grab the picture right now). During the US presidential race, the meme was brought into the mainstream by both Trump and Clinton. Him posting depictions of Pepe as himself and Clinton with her "Basket of Deplorables" speech. Once she made that speech and a post on her presidential race blog was made denouncing Pepe as a meme of racists and white supremacists, the mass media started to echo that. So people that never saw Pepe before now saw him... as a symbol of prejudice. And the members of the Alt-Right weren't offended. They celebrated it, for Pepe was now reclaimed from the "Libtards", from the "Cucks", from the "Normies". And so it went.

tl;dr: That was the tl;dr. The article is 9 pages long.

The Nazi Panda has such uplifting quotes as "Bruce Lee died of a headache".

I mean, IIRC it was acute encephalitis brought about by an extreme allergic reaction, but what is acute encephalitis but the absolute worst and usually last headache ever?

The coroner put it best: _{(death by)}MISADVENTURE!

I've also heard allegations of heatstroke, but MISADVENTURE sounds much more fun.

[Hanslanda]

I'm kinda disappointed no one brought up the supposed Touch of Death.

We do not discuss the forbidden practice of Dim Mak.


As for Gandhi, eh... At least he wasn't a fucking kaffir.

Isn't that literally the South African version of the n word?
