  Moths come from eggs, which are similar to beans, so… I have no idea.

    If a moth wore jeans, would they wear them like this or like this? [the images are left to the reader’s imagination]

  For the safety of every moth in this community, turn you phone brightness down.

  That’s just what a lamp would ask!

  Seriously though, it’s a meme thing. It goes in cycles. Sometimes it’s beans. Sometimes it’s Gowron (glory to the empire!). Sometimes it’s people posting about how southsamurai has the most epic beard on the planet. Sometimes it’s moths.

  What? That was so last week. The new trend is animals wearing human suits to avoid detection

  You shouldn’t ask these kinds of questions under the assumption that anyone knows what you’re talking about.

    Reddit had a community “OutOfTheLoop” for these type of questions. It was very helpful for people like me who do our best to ignore these nonsense viral image macros that get blown out of proportion. The problem on Lemmy is, judging by the comments here, I think almost everyone here avoids those things like the plague, so there’s few if anyone “InTheLoop” around to explain for us.

  We’ve evolved beyond beans.

  Oh it’s a classic meme.

  Basically it was this one moth that uncharacteristically posed for a photo outside a window, then it kinda morphed into a “transform any meme into one about lamps” and add the moth.

  Dunno if you have moths or not where you live, but moths LOVE light. They usually smash up against your window or porch light or fly at your face in a well lit place. Terrible for anyone who hates bugs, which just adds to the humor. Adding a mostly annoying bug to your feed.

  It’s the same idea where the saying “like a moth to the flame” came from. The idea being the moth flew into the candle and gets burned. You’re going straight into something bad, but you just can’t help yourself.

  not enough tbh. I do remember back in 2018 ppl were making lots of moth and lamp memes and it was wonderfully delicious.
