why the hell are we watermarking memes here?

I mean, surely the meme itself wasn’t the joke. That would be terrible.
In retrospect, it’s probably best not to put the watermark in the final panel.
A good spot would be behind the word " sentient", so that you can read join lemmy faintly above it. This would discourage lazy people from removing or altering it
Nah, the worst part is it’s not even original. This has been getting passed around for about a year.
Campaign to get more internet dweebs to join us Lemmy dweebs
It should be like the dinosaur appliances in The Flintstones that say “it’s a living”
“This job sucks!”
This job is shitty
IF YOU GO IN ME, YOU DIE
*sapient. If it were merely sentient it could sense the bodily waste, but would be incapable of feeling any way about it.
This is a rare case where sentient is being used correctly. Sentient beings do have feelings, e.g. dogs and cats are sentient and can have cravings and even feel hate.
Sapient means having enough intellect to understand and reason about the situation. The post doesn’t actually require that.
So we’ve got a lot of Homo sentients out there then?
Damn, as savage as they are
Kind of a grey area, so I’ll allow it.
We should watermark everything now

No. Memes are for the people. No brands, no watermarks. Putting logos and trademarks on everything to indicate who they belong to is what corporations do.
Besides, I’m not even ON lemmy, yet I can post here too.
They are for the people, but what’s the problem with showing where a meme originated from?
They all originate from either a goth teenager or some 40yr old in his parents basement. Why give credit to a random posting platform?
Why not?
It’s more about calling people to join, not about claiming authorship from my perspective
Whatever increases the net happiness in the world. 🙂
A utilitarian, eh? So, a group of men with runaway diarrhea are going to shit in five toilets who do not want to be shit in. You have no way of stopping them, but if you pull a lever they will instead be diverted to a single toilet-that-does-not-want-to-be-shit-in. What is the correct action to take in this scenario?
All, the natural evolution to the trolly-problem
Damn. We have a different problem here, the group of army men don’t want to shit together in the same toilet.
I never thought of the trolley problem with a sentient trolley
To shit on something that isn’t sentient that doesn’t want to be shit on. Possibly the ground where it can be used as fertilizer for plants.
It would react like the robot in the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy.
The doors in HHGTTG are extremely satisfied to perform their job. They are very happy to open and close for you and let out a very small happy sigh when completing their tasks.
Imagine if you took a nasty dump and the toilet let out a satisfied “Ahhhhhhh…”
Hahahahahaha
New fetish unlocked!
Great, now I gonna find this doors…
I would like it to be dejectedly resigned to its shitty job just like I am, thank you.
I will downvote any watermarked meme
What difference does that make to you?
Dude some of us appreciate saving and sharing a crisp meme. Watermarks are the antithesis of that, for a number of reasons.
But I can’t tell if this watermark is ironic or not.
All of my watermarks are organic, non-GMO and grown in my home garden.
If it wasn’t created by Mark, can it really be called a watermark?
All real watermarks come from the watermark region in France. Otherwise it’s called a sparkling transparent logo.
That doesn’t sound french but I’ll allow it
It’s spelled “wauteuoxmarque”, so…
Isn’t this a thing from Hitchhiker’s Guide? IIRC there’s a company that creates sentient, emotional AIs and installs them into things like doors and elevators to make them enjoy their jobs and make the appliances even more useful… but everyone just ends up hating them?
Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they tell me to take you up to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction? Cause I don’t.
I’m pretty sure George would want the toilet to hate it
What if the toilet played ads at you based on the food you shit out, where you can’t flush the toilet until it’s finished?
Please drink verification can to continue
I think that’s a different question and I hate it. I’d rather shit in a hole in the floor before using a toilet with mandatory ads.
Literally would shit on the stall door if I saw that in public. Fuck forced ads.
Oh god. Imagine taking the biggest shit of your life, almost passing out just from the smell.
And then the ad service goes down…
Please reconnect to a network to resume flushing.
Contact your plumbing administrator.
“No. Do not throw away. I give you happy poopy time.”
-overly expensive Japanese toilet
Sorry, you know to much…
This scene comes to mind… https://youtu.be/F7o8KuJKizs?si=34KudkyM_hTZ5Ldf
First thing I thought of, as well. That scene gave me nightmares as a child.
