Mixed up Memes

There is no common theme today, just a random selection.

Semi topical Dune related meme. Bless his cottons sacks he's an angry ballbag of a man. 


Pertinent to a video I will share in another post.


How did Data cope.


I almost feel sorry for the bloke in the lower panel who has had his picture purloined to poke fun at hipstrs.


We have all been there.


Some uncomfortable truth. You are a long time dead, and no one on their death bed is going to be thinking ... "I wish I spent more time at work."


This is the way...


THE ARGUMENT FOR NUCLEAR ENERGY


Ginger Economics

 Things people don't necessarily think of when they shop for those special fresh ingredients.

For instance, 75gm frozen Root Ginger from one of the big four is £1.50 (from £7.92/kg). Or 300gm Fresh root Ginger, £1.58 (£5.25/kg) ... clearly you do the leg work when it comes to chopping it and storing it.

Memes again ... but that's memetics.

I often wonder if people actually know what memetics is as a subject. People throw the word meme about left right and centre, but of course, memes follow memetics. `Meme' wasn't a new word when memes found their feet on social media. 

Ask a meme poster what memetics is? I reckon 90% or more will tell you it's posting funnies on Facebook or the like.

Memetics, Wikipedia

Anyway on with the show.

Nerd meme, explains itself. Context ... literally anything that fits.


Self-Explanatory and especially useful for checking your ego at the door


I don't agree with all the Atlas Society says or posts, but as a general rule, Thomas Sowell quotes never fail to hit the spot.


A memetic innuendo punarama 


Oh Dear ... didn't take long did it. I've had this one saved for over a month, I reckon this popped up three maybe four days after the invasion of Ukraine


Yoda it is .... hmmmm


Anyway, that's enough of that. I shall bid you, fare well (as in being excellent to yourself and others, and in doing so fare well). And also, goodnight ... though in the context of the reader, goodnight may be a relative term. However, whenever you read this, wherever you are around the world and the clock, when the time comes sentiment still applies, it is timeless.

The Drive to Crook Peak.

 A Saturday morning drive to a beautiful spot on top of the Mendips with unparalleled 360° views over Somerset, North Somerset, Wales, Devon, Wiltshire ... you get the picture, and this is just the drive there.



Carbohydrates ... or not.

I don't think carbs are the issue. I think it's specifically bread-related carbs. I can't be arsed to go into detail, but by dint of a little laziness and maybe lowliness (depression), I have consumed two loaves in a fortnight, and I seem to be `puffier', not larger or heavier, just a bit bloaty and not quite in sync with myself.

So, yesterday morning after the pool, and many other things, I sorted out brown rice and quinoa for a week (rather than buying packets), flavoured at the secondary absorption phase with a stir through mix of herbs and spices, then quick-chilled to create the perfect deli-fridge for the working man. Add to that, cooked fresh meats, salads or raw veg and a handful of mixed nuts a day, and I rather suspect that things will be settled by the end of the week.

I tried full keto, but it kept tripping me up. So, I've gone back to balanced flexitarian but cut bread back to an absolute minimum, and we'll see how we go.

Ok, so this isn’t my usual fare (and hello … I have been absent, it happens, I’m a very busy man all of a sudden). Below is an economist Edi...
