Bored Panda got in touch with Sam Grannis, the creator and admin of the page and he was kind enough to share some more. Firstly, we were curious to learn more about how the page was created in the first place.
“I always loved memes, I was constantly posting on Facebook and was always told “I post the best memes” and that I should make an Instagram account dedicated to just memes. On top of that, I had followed a few meme accounts on Instagram at the time and noticed that some accounts were making money. I thought “The memes I post are better, I could do this”. And so I created my account in 2017,” he shared.
They already figured out how to monetize death. They call it "Life Insurance". Ironic right?

"Death is the only way out of debt" - Companies: "That's what YOU think"
Could work both ways. Rich people would find ways to leave their wealth to themselves.
Or how long would it take for companies to have you add your past life work experiences to your resume so that they can question you about it when interviewing?
That only works if you can remember your past lives

Same for holding people accountable for crimes they didn't commit. Oh, wait...
Wonder if they'd just keep imposing the death penalty over and over again

Obviously, you've never read the Old Testament. It says that you're still paying off the debt incurred by your ten times great grandfather, while he sits in heaven, or hell, watching everything you do.
Doesn't it only speak about the third or fourth generation...?

Well at least there won't be so many Cleopatras and Marie Antoinettes.
Not if we decide to implement a law where new lives don't inherent the debt.
Ha, funny this is up here. I've been working on a story idea for years involving such a thing
A word of caution here; My young friend was apprenticed to an old guy who kept calling him 'My partner', which was not true. then the old one died and the young man was somehow held responsible for his debts because of the older one calling him 'partner'. I don't know how there could be such a fiasco, but the thieves, I'll call them, seemed to make it work. the kid had to pay off all the old fellow s debts.
it would take them likely less than a year after the method of tracking reincarnated people
Judeo-Christian Bible>Jesus said he was the first Adam & Elijah. The Dalai Lama>Going on 16 reincarnations>"they", whoever "they" are, find him every time. Once it was a woman & I think there is a woman still alive today in the USA who is a Lama. I remember the last few minutes of my previous life - it is my first memory in this life. I was 32, in this life, when I stopped feeling the noose around my neck.
Hm. Since you can simply refuse to accept an inheritance, this would be more like getting a letter stating: "Your balance has been transferred to your new account":
Huh, I thought they already had. Oh, that's right, then they discovered that they also had to provide you with the goods and services they had provided for that debt which is worth a lot more than the worthless stuff that they get you to get into debt for now.
In fairness, this would never happen, because far more people pass on inheritance than debt (only because things are already set up to make sure people don't leave their lenders unpaid when they die.)
So if you donate your organs to people who are vile human beings, you can saddle them with your debt?
If we found out it was real, we would probably fix the overpopulation of the planet. I’d be in the queue.
Well after my 2yo read this (on their own of course) they said, “well mommy, I would propose the notion that it’s not due to a mundane lifestyle. It’s more indicative of an insecure personality, a fragile ego if you will. They seek validation through technological services that connect humans to one another.”
Naturally, given the literal hundreds of thousands of followers, we also wanted to hear Sam’s opinion on what made the page so popular. “I have a knack for identifying what people will find funny/relate to, on top of that I also go out and do my way to post content that hasn’t been shared by 100 other accounts before I post it. So my followers know they’re gonna get hot new content on my page.”
As a teacher I make a point of telling the student teachers that they should always ALWAYS make sure they are on the janitors’ good side. They will not make your life harder if you are not, but, my goodness, can they make your teacher life easier if they like you!
We wanted to explore this idea of what makes one meme better than another, as they have been around for quite a bit. So we asked Sam to give his best shot at breaking it down. “A good meme contains a funny image/video with a super relatable/funny caption,” he shared with Bored Panda.
5 hours of prepping, 2 hours of roasting, 20 minutes of plating... 10 minutes to eat said meal, 25 minutes of rinsing dishes 2 hours of dishwaser and 20 minutes of putting dishes away. Now it's time for breakfast! LOL!
It's the ones who didn't grow up with South Park and family guy who are offended by every little detail of their simple minded life.
“The image/video is the most important component of a meme, you can have an average caption but if the content you’re using is really good, it will carry the meme and still be really funny. If you’re able to write a caption that hasn’t been overused and is still relatable/funny and the image/video you’re using is great in itself, that’s the recipe for a viral meme.” Interestingly, the caption might be one of the oldest indicators of a meme, that separates it from a generic “funny image.”
At the same time, managing a page that posts memes might be harder than it seems. The internet is changing with content rules morphing year to year, often without warning. “Running a meme account has become harder and harder as time goes on, unfortunately. The TOS (terms of service) gets stricter every day.”
“Every piece of content I post is heavily vetted by me, I have gained a very strong understanding of what’s allowed and what’s not throughout the years. Stuff that you wouldn’t even think would be removed gets removed. Any big account that’s been doing this for a long time and is active works really hard to keep its page afloat.”
“I’ll just put it this way,” Sam shared, “If I were to hand my account to a random person, I don’t think the account would remain longer than a week. It takes a very strong understanding of the TOS to carry on. What sucks about that is the quality of content suffers but it’s what must be done to maintain your account.”
It is always helpful to learn some off-grid basic techniques. Since +/- 30 years more and more of our activities depend heavily on things circling the globe and can be switched off by the owner at any given time, without notice. Or fail, without the possibility to have a technician get it go within hours. Prepper craze is not necessary, but ask (grand)parents how they handled things before satnav and smartphone were a thing. And learn to read maps, understabd street signs giving directions and some basic navigation skills.
As a former wildlife hospital volunteer, I would take a goose over a squirrel any day. Squirrels are terrifying, and they go for your face.
That isn’t dumb for a 4-5 year old; it’s just the way they reason until they learn otherwise. Unfortunately, some people never seem to outgrow this level of reasoning.
I was at a friend’s house. He said “make yourself at home!” So I kicked his a*s out because I hate visitors. And that’s when the fight started…
My alcoholic chain smoking neighbor was the one most concerned with me buying myself a cup of coffee once a week or so.
I can't wait to pull that on my daughter when we are shopping tomorrow.
To save embarrassing Google searches - A group of men covering another person with reproduction juice.
I hope they were tears of joy because that joke is hilarious, particularly for a seven year old
I painted a friend a picture of The Last Supper using every comic cat I could think of in place of the people. Bill was Jesus & dressed as Elvis. I titled it “The Last Shrimp Cocktail”. - These things happen. And I would have bought that. I would have it hanging in my house.
