Moths generally make you feel better than murder.
From an outside perspective. From an “oh, I just murdered a shitton of empanadas” perspective, still probably better. Fuck now I want like 100 empanadas

Hey hey now. Let’s not make these divisive statements here

Ok, @SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com. Chief propagator of moth memes. 😏
But seriously, it’s a naive person who doesn’t understand that every single day, somewhere in the world, the most horrible shit you can imagine is going down at any given moment. That’s just a fact. Our job is to help when we can and deal with it when we can’t. One of the way we have or dealing with it when we can’t is through humor and there’s not a damned thing wrong with that.

I pay tax so that someone else can figure out who murdered who.
Please, I only have one life and I don’t want to spend it thinking about miserable things.

There’s been innocent people getting killed every day for the last ten thousand years. What would you scrolling through news stories on the Internet actually accomplish?
Doc_Crankenstein@slrpnk.net 9 months ago
Making people angry enough to get up and do something about it, angry enough to disregard the system and start breaking it. Angry enough to disobey.
Instead people are all too happy to remain obedient to the very system that oppresses them as long as they continue to be provided their bread and circuses.

Does that make it better?
TheDoozer@lemmy.world 9 months ago
What is this supposed to mean? Is the implication that for the past ten thousand years, everyone should have lived in constant misery, thinking of nothing but the suffering of innocents, without a moment to spare for joy or silliness?
Or are you trying to twist their words to suggest that the suffering of innocents now isn’t important because it’s been happening for 10k years? Because that was clearly not the message being made. The closest I could imagine is they may be pointing out that some treat pointing out innocents suffering as a fad, where people all of a sudden care and can’t believe that anyone else can do or care about anything else (and will burn out and stop caring once the fad is done, whether the issue has been resolved or not).
Either way, if you spend your whole time doomscrolling and never leave yourself a space for moth memes (or whatever), you will be no help to anyone and live in impotent misery.
Basically, moth memes are self care.

If you only saw moth memes and not how many starving people were murdered today while trying to get aid, that’s on you.
Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
I have not seen any moth posts for a while. I thought they’d been removed or something.
BeBopaLula@piefed.ca 9 months ago
Hmmm I switched to Piefed and lo and behold there be moths.

Weaponized Memery is the wave of the future, the Pokemon just hasn’t full evolved yet!
Beans -> Jeans -> Moth -> [???]
I don’t know how many forms it has… Has anyone tried using an evolution stone? Walked 10,000 steps with a Moth companion? Evolved Jeans with an empty pokeball it the party?

Memes about the suffering of the innocent don’t actually help either. If your feeds were just a firehose of misery you are ultimately powerless to change, all that would do is hurt you.
I’m not saying we should be ignoring the wrongs of the world. All I’m saying is that there is a time and a place for moths.
solsangraal@lemmy.zip 9 months ago
it is !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world
if someone’s expecting something (or anything) from it, then that’s kind of on them as well
solsangraal@lemmy.zip 9 months ago
it’s a defense mechanism. it’s so much easier to participate in pointless meaningless meme-of-the-moment exchanges than it is to face the un-fun reality that the world around you is burning
unfortunately pointing this out to them will only make them dig their heels in
Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 9 months ago
The burning will undoubtedly attract more moths
Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 9 months ago
They are not mutually exclusive, you can face it, then realize there isn’t much you can do (I’m not American) then you see some moths.
solsangraal@lemmy.zip 9 months ago
there isn’t much you can do
what gave you that idea? perhaps the fact that no one’s doing anything but posting moths?
enjoy your moths

Look. My therapist has a hard time keeping me from spiraling into a doom hole without being reminded about yet more horrible human bullshit every waking minute. Let me enjoy my stupid bullshit, motherfucker.
