dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in [email protected], it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

ehhh I have positive memories of my whole extended family riding a sleeper train, but I was a child and also have positive memories from that period of playing in a large pile of dirty sand.

I saw in video that in some really rural and mountainous areas they kept the slow train service so villagers can transport their livestock to the city markets, so the whole narrative this article gives doesn't even make sense.
