Just Don't Get It

[email protected] is a community for things that you just don't get or understand. It's a community where you're welcome to be the opposite of the smartest in the room. Ask questions about things of which have perplex for years like "why was seeing a pig run a consolation?" or "why don't we shoo our space in to the sun?" and for those of you not comfortable with asking questions, even those like "why is going to bed with your socks on even though you have a spouse a thing?", you're welcome to be part of this community too and answer questions. The only thing I ask is that you be and not a condescending prick.

I originally said "You're free to post text posts, screenshots or memes." but it seems to be mostly text. Feel free to change that with your posts.

I understand the concept of, "hey, look at this cool thing I found", but if people want to do that, they can easily link to the source. However we live in a time where people will post pictures online they had no part in producing and aren't of celebrities of any kind and bask in a glory. You even get some people posting pictures pretending its their spouse. I just don't get why this is a thing.

Because it is quicker to upload and people are generally lazy

Because people want to get that rush of being "famous" for a few minutes but they don't actually want to put any effort into doing something themselves. That or they think they're going to somehow make money off someone else's work, also because they don't actually want to put any effort into it
