Is this a meme?

Pons_Aelius,

Is a quote a meme?

In the original definition of meme, yes.

misterundercoat, in Doesn't help that I keep thinking 2010 was like 6 years ago.

For a second I thought you looked up their birthdays and this was literally about the fact that Tobey Maguire was 23-years-old playing a college kid and only one year younger than this actor playing a middle-aged dad and it was a funny haha moment about Hollywood casting and age discrepancy between actors and the characters they play.

Then I did some more thinking and remembered that Spider-Man 2 came out in 2004 and I am an idiot.

BTW Tobey Maguire was born in 1975 and the other actor’s name is Peter Allas and I couldn’t find his birthday.

    It feels like lemmy users are too shy because of reddit popularity.

    I see you’ve never heard of the 90%/9%/1% rule of social media users.

    90% are lurkers. 9% are intermittent posters. 1% are heavy use posters.

    It’s not that people are shy, it’s that literally with a fraction of the userbase Reddit has, that 10% that actually makes posts is just a smaller number of people.

    Problem here is this isn’t a meme. What’s to comment but, ‘why did you post this?’

    an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread by internet users, often with slight variations.

    Idk bud it matches the meaning of modern memes decently enough

    Stupid easy to adapt the sign into a meme format if you wanted to

    I actually tracked the original photo down, and this picture was changed. The original text wasn’t “4 children for sale” it was actually “Hey lemmy users , lemmytors or whatever, lemmy is desperately in need for commenters. Can’t expect to compete against reddit comments. They have thousands of users and and a few of their comments are bound to become super popular just because there are so many of them. It feels like lemmy users are too shy because of reddit popularity. For instance in this case don’t tell me you didn’t wonder whether the photo was real or not and then got afraid to just ask.”

    So this is a meme

    It appears to be legit.

    The photo first appeared in The Vidette-Messenger of Valparaiso, Indiana on August 5, 1948. The children looked posed and a bit confused as their pregnant mother hides her face from the photographer.
    The caption read: “A big ‘For Sale’ sign in a Chicago yard mutely tells the tragic story of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Chalifoux, who face eviction from their apartment. With no place to turn, the jobless coal truck driver and his wife decide to sell their four children.
    Mrs. Lucille Chalifoux turns her head from the camera above while her children stare wonderingly. On the top step are Lana, 6, and Rae, 5. Below are Milton, 4, and Sue Ellen, 2”.
    Family members accused the mother of being paid to stage the photo, which may have been part of the story, but unfortunately, she was dead serious about selling her children. Within two years all of the children pictured, as well as the baby she was carrying at the time, were sold off to different homes.

    scottywh,

    This photo has also circulated on Reddit and elsewhere for years so most of us have probably already seen it and were aware of the true and dark history surrounding it.

    nonearther, in A high-falutin' Monster Energy.

    The comparison makes no sense whatsoever

    Johnhones,

    They both mix alcohol(downer) and caffeine(upper)

    I_Has_A_Hat,

    So do a lot of drinks.

    Irish Coffee

    Nutty Spaniards

    Hell, Coke has caffeine in it. So add like every mixed drink to the list.

    Philipp,

    ClubMate Vodka doesn’t care, and goes to the bar, ordering another one.

    kek_w_lol,

    Rum coke ftw

    someguy3,

    So you’re complaining that the joke didn’t include all the drinks… Geez.

    I_Has_A_Hat,

    More that it’s a shitty comparison since there’s so many other drinks that fit that category. Might as well try to say they’re related because they’re both a liquid.

    someguy3, (edited )

    More like yours is a shitty complaint. It’s a joke, not a phd thesis.

    Johnhones,

    But the joke here is also commenting on the vibe of an espresso martini in relation to a vodka redbull. The latter is seen as a bit more of a trashy drink while the former has a fancier vibe. I love an Irish coffee, but the metaphor would change to something like the Irish coffee being a vodka redbull that travelled europe during the winter.

    JD and coke has same sorta of vibe as the vodka redbull, but coke has a lot less caffeine.

    Not heard of Nutty Spaniards, googled 3 recipes and none had any caffeine mixer I could see. Red wine, sherry, almond mixer and orange bitters.

    BonesOfTheMoon,

    It’s just a joke honey bunny.

    Shieldtoad, in On culinary crimes

    When Americans make Mac and cheese does it usually only contain macaroni and cheese? Or do they add other things?

    Here in Belgium we call it macaroni with ham and cheese because we put pieces of ham in it.

    Tak,
    @Tak@lemmy.ml avatar

    Depends on the region and sometimes ethnicity.

    It’s actually considered cruel to have the white guy bring the mac to a black cookout because he’s likely going to get roasted for it.

    cm0002,

    Yea we put ham too, sometimes spam, sometimes bacon. It’s really versatile tbh. We even have other variations like Cheeseburger Macaroni that nearly crosses the line into its own dish.

    But, I have never EVER heard of raisins going into it before and it sounds disgusting.

    droans, (edited )

    If done well, buffalo chicken mac and cheese is great, too.

    Unfortunately most restaurants do a garbage job with it. They just add the chicken and hot sauce into the mac and cheese and let it sit in a pan until someone orders it. This needs to be made fresh when it’s ordered or it just turns into mediocre mush.

    They all always screw up buffalo chicken dip, too. That’s even worse because it’s so easy to make right.

    • Rotisserie chicken
    • Hot sauce, half a cup to a full cup depending on what you like
    • Block of cream cheese
    • Bag of sharp cheddar.
    • Packet of ranch seasoning. Don’t use ranch dressing, it’ll make it too watery.
    • If you like blue cheese, grab a small block or, if you’re lazy, grab a little container.

    Use two forks to shred up all the breast meat on the rotisserie. Make the shreds varying in consistency - some should be very fine, some should be normal shredded chicken, some should be little chunks.

    Slice the cream cheese into small strips. If you’re using a block of blue cheese, remove the rind and crumble it. I like to use a knife for this because it’s quicker.

    Grab a large pan. Throw the chicken and hot sauce in. Set it to medium and mix. When it starts simmering, add everything but the blue cheese. Mix it up until it’s all melted and combined. If you have blue cheese, add it now and keep mixing until you’re happy with it.

    Turn off the stove. It’s ready now and you’re about to have some fantastic fucking buffalo chicken dip.

    OZFive,

    Well I know what I’m making this weekend! Thanks.

    Cloaca,

    My family (New Hampshire) typically add smoked cherry tomatoes to our mac and cheese.

    Mostly an add in of one protein and one vegetable. When more items get added we just switch to the dish being a pasta or a casserole.

    I will say that raisins make a great addition to a curried meatloaf.

    get_off_the_phone,

    Tuna and peas in my mac and cheese, please!

    Sabre363,

    This sounds fucking disgusting, I’d rather have the raisins.

    HotDogFingies,
    @HotDogFingies@kbin.social avatar

    Growing up poor is fun. Very similar to what we called tuna casserole.

    1. Box of elbow macaroni, cooked
    2. Can of cream of mushroom soup
    3. Can of tuna, drained
    4. Can of peas, drained

    Dump. Mix. Consume.

    I'm still poor, but I don't eat that shit.

    Sabre363,

    I grew up poor as well, and tuna casserole was a very common meal. But, the peas are an abomination.

    Actually, now that I think about it, that might be why I hate peas so much.

    HotDogFingies,
    @HotDogFingies@kbin.social avatar

    Peas suck

    get_off_the_phone,

    Peas in my mouth please

    scottywh,

    Odd Todd certainly loved that recipe (and probably still does).

    AngryCommieKender,

    Traditional American Mac and Cheese is a dish that consist of macaroni noodles that have been baked in a bechamel based cheese sauce and topped with bread crumbs.

    If we put anything else in it, we tell you, just as you do with the addition of ham to the name.

    stolid_agnostic,

    In my observation, if it comes from a box, it’ll be simple. If it’s made from scratch then people go more gourmet.

    gentooer,

    I’ve never heard of macaroni met hesp, where are you from?

    hey i mean snails can technically be considered a type of fish (its true look it up), so i guess it works

    DragonTypeWyvern,

    Seafood does not mean fish.

    darcy,
    @darcy@sh.itjust.works avatar

    no, i mean legally, for food (at least in america). depending on how its prepared, it can be called fish (not just seafood). the fda is ‘‘supposedly’’ going to make a category for snails, for obvious reasons.
