This is just the latest trend of shitpost, I mean we had beans, we had Beef Stroganoff, and now people are posting Jemes, each time people say they are fed up with it after a couple days. This too shall pass.
Because new people are hopping on the bandwagon late so instead of the shit lasting a couple of days it becomes over a week of shit
Yep it’s the low-effort AI generated stuff that’s the problem. Some people just… aren’t funny, sorry 😅
Same thing happens in the communities for AI images. Some user will make a picture of a clever idea, but then other users copy the idea and beat the dead horse.
I don’t get it. They literally have the tools to make images of any idea, and they choose to use it to make somebody else’s idea over and over.
Many people are insanely uncreative and rather dim.
And want to be part of something, even if it’s obnoxious.
Welcome to the vast majority of social settings …
Sadly. I will ever understand the mindset of taking joy from bandwagoning. “yay, I’m doing something completely and utterly unoriginal for the 10000th time, wooo!”
I’d fucking die of boredom.
What exactly do you think a meme is?
Depends - sometimes you see a concept that you think you can improve on. Or maybe you read about their workflow how they did the image, learn something new and want to add your own spin. I don’t think, that’s a problem per se, as art is often iterating and innovating and that this is the root of creativity.
The problem is more when everyone does it and the whole community gets flooded with the same image concepts/jokes. In this case, the AI communities may get hit even worse in this regard, as it’s very easy to generate images and there’s less skill needed than if you had to draw/photoshop/… the whole meme all by yourself, which means it’s easier to enter the dead-horse-beating.
Did you say piss is the next meme? Alright, well, I’ll do what I can
I mean I’m pretty sure he agrees “this too shall piss” cause we all know it always comes down to piss.
Also, most new Reddit refugees at this point (and I feel like there’s been a minor surge lately because of all the IPO crap) probably haven’t internalized that there’s no system-wide karma here, and karma-whoring is entirely pointless in the context of the fediverse.
I’m sure some people left reddit when Javert memes were the hot item. This is good for Lemmy.
Ah yes, and at some point we will look back fondly at the Jemes, and say “those were the days…”
The lifecycle continues.
you have to set it to the base setting
so that it’s based
People join a shitpost group and are mad all the posts are shitposts
I’m mad it’s all ai shitposts. Shits unsettling.
Would you describe the shit as liquid and runny then?
Slimy and strangely unsatisfying.
Gotta say, jeansposting is my least favorite lemmy trend so far
Bean posting was just a decades old rehash of a trend. It’s really not much better.
At least with Stroganoff, it had a funny origin(Google Opinion Survey asking if you want “important updates about Beef Stroganoff”).
Most of these are just “hrrr drrr this is dumb so let’s trend it”.
It’s very Reddit feeling that’s for sure
Lemmy is basically reddit. It’s not any better than reddit was, it doesn’t have some enlightened users etc. It’s par for the course.

Moooom! Someone is wrong on the internet.
This is the Reddit replacement website. Everyone here probably came from Reddit. What do you expect?
The tankies and the Linux trans femboys who were here before us would disagree. But the mass influx cannot be ignored.

It was funny about 3 times.
A decade ago
The ai-generated images are too low effort and too easy to produce.

Stop shitting on my shitposts!
I was going to write this in one of the many many boring posts, but didn’t want to make it more popular. I understand trend and too much time on their hands but deploying AI to spam same thing like this just gets boring after a few examples. Move on
I enjoyed the first few but yeah once the AI - generated stuff came along it lost its charm for me.
You just have to let these things burn themselves out like an oil fire.
Class B fires can be handled by either AFFF or Potassium Bicarbonate.
Have you or a loved one been exposed to AFFF? You may be entitled to money damages!
Wtf, your link has a section titled “scroll down to see the crazy monster in action” or something and when you scroll down there’s no video anywhere. Is it because I’m on mobile, or is it just some bullshit?
That thing’s not coming to help us. It’s just us, the jeans, and god as our witness.
When you’ve put out the oil fire you can use it as a leaf blower.
What is this karma of which you speak?
It’s on 8chan
Pff I’m on 9chan
I thought they had to skip 9chan due to the way old software checks chan versions.
Yeah old browsers identify it as 95chan or 98chan based on the chan-agent string passed in the http protocol. I’m upgrading to 11chan so I can get chan365 and OneChan.
OniiChan all the way.
Not sure if lecture about quality on shitpost is itself shitpost…
Thank you.
I… don’t care…?
Such is the nature of the internet. It’ll run itself out soon and become established lore. Beans and beef stroganoff went through that progression too.
No no, they’re awesome. Every one a masterpiece of modern comedic ingenuity. I mean, picking a random noun, then typing “randomnoun but it’s jeans” into a shitty AI image generator, then doing it again a dozen times? Fucking genius.
Maybe I’m just old and grumpy, but this reminds me of Reddit’s obsession with rage comics - except those were higher effort, incredibly. Maybe we can go back to the stroganoff? How about something with dead babies next? Bring the terrible Gërman Fïsh Mëmë back? Knock-knock jokes? Maybe people literally stepping on rakes over and over, as seeing the 700th jouch meme only feels like it?
Dead Germán baby fish knock knock jokes? Sounds fun and annoying. Let’s do it!
Zwei dead Babys vere valking down ze Straße…

Don’t know whether to upvote for the comic being funny or downvote for the “you’re not having fun the right way!” lecture…
Ah fuck it, I’ll do the former.
When half your feed becomes nothing but trousers and beans and planes, it gets really fatiguing after the umpteenth day of it in a row. It was amusing for a bit, but people have taken that ball too far for my own personal enjoyment.
Ehh, smaller community, so a little bit slower for trends to fade. I’m ok with it though; I don’t expect nonstop-fresh content here and I like that. People are able to post without bot-mods rejecting every submission… makes people feel included. So you kinda get a slower trend-fade, as people come-up with ideas. I get your point, but no reason to be crass about it. Try and lift each other up and what-not
I’ll take jeanposting over political memes 9/10 times.
US political “memes” at a time when the campaign for the next elections there is already informally going, are especially “special” - “this guy is nice”, “this guy is mean”, “vote for our guy” messaging is not at all Satire, it’s Propaganda even when in wannabe-meme form.
I agree that it can get fatiguing after umpteen days, but it’s only been like a day or two.
And that’s absolutely fine. You’re allowed to not enjoy stuff. Lecturing others for enjoying stuff together without hurting anyone, on the other hand, is just petty and authoritarian fun policing in my opinion, though 🤷
I always love how it’s the people advocating for an unregulated shit show calling everyone else facists if we won’t let you destroy something that others enjoy.
Whoa, where’d you dig up that gigantic strawman??
If you check my history, you’ll find that I’m very much in favor of common sense regulation where needed and the only people I call fascists are actual fascists like Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu.
Others posting a meme you don’t like anymore isn’t destroying Lemmy. Please stop being an overdramatic wet blanket and just let people enjoy their jemes until they too get tired of them and move on to the next thing.
And your reaction is to post something that belong in the Comics community?
It was a reference to shit. Apologies if, like the sheet, it was over your head
not saying kecessa is wrong but that comeback was fire
Shitburn
Oh snap
Oh I got that, not as if it was really subtle, but if you’re going to complain about the content posted by others and that people are leaving, you should post content that doesn’t belong in another community because people might as well subscribe to c/comics if that’s what you want to share here.
