It's probably turtles all the way down, but I think "A British animators's email segment mispronounces 90s greeting" might be an even smaller domino.

My personal one

IIRC Pushback against "Unsafe at any speed" was the literal origin of the conservative think tank as a political movement. I think Behind the Bastards did an episode on it or maybe Stuff you missed in history class?

Now you have to explain how they relate.

I added a brief explanation

It was always Ralph Nader's fault.

(To the down voter: Ralph Nader fought to bring regulations for mandatory seat belts, among other life saving consumer safety issues he had a hand in. Man's a hero. Also, this is a joke. Ffs)

Which part's a joke? I can't tell which of you think you're being funny.

Seat belts> Ralph Nader, ah fuckit, you're boring and humorless.

I think you overestimate your ability to communicate irony in text-only media.

Sorry I'm OOTL. I presume this is the much wow shiba in memes but I didn't know this caused anything to america? Can someone fill me in about some of the dominos in-between please?

Musk and his love of memes just got appointed to a new government position at the Department Of Government Efficiency or D.O.G.E. for short.

Well… not yet. But it’s part of the circus Trump is planning

At least there's a Jamaican bobsled team somewhere in the middle

This is way better mirrored

also oof

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

To me the mirrored version just looks wrong

like you don't mirror or otherwise mutilate well-established meme templates

it's like an unspoken rule of the internet

I like that it reads left to right! Yes, it’s also pretty uncanny haha

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Personally the original also reads left to right, the punch line being the starting domino being something that's seeming unrelated to the big final domino but both works, really

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

Fair point!
