Hi Guys and Gals

This was suggested in the Feedback thread and it is something we have discussed before and think it would be a good idea

This thread is for the discussion of pictures or videos that people don't understand or want more information on

Its purpose is to keep chat and discussion out of other threads like You Laugh, You Lose or Pictures that Shook the World thread

This is not an off topic thread where you can come and shoot the sh!t, it is for the discussion of content from threads where discussion is discouraged

Hopefully people find this a useful addition to the forum, usual charter rules apply

I don't get the soccer memes. Any of them. Can somebody explain them to me? Are they funny?

Some are, some aren't - a lot like all memes.

Would a side-boob SFW thread be out of the question?

The guy was arrested and pepper sprayed at Spanish Arch in Galway one sunny day a couple of summers ago. There was a succession of photos (story board style) of the hilarious incident.

From Know your meme:

On December 23rd, 2010, photographer Drew Angerer published a blog post titled “Obama and the Lame Duck Congress", which featured a photo of President Obama and former President Clinton making a surprise joint appearance in the White House briefing room to discuss a tax bill compromise . On April 16th, 2012, Redditor MadLarkin submitted the photograph to the /r/pics[1] subreddit in a post titled “Words can not describe how much I love this pic of Obama and Clinton.” In the post, Redditor bastian1343 posted an image macro of the photo with the caption “Whose unemployment rates do you have to lower to get blown around here?”

Has YLYL reached some sort of singularity in space in which recent posts are no longer visible and new ones disappear?

Seemingly it was.

Makes it much more startling now to look at that picture and think that a number of the people in that photo would be dead a few seconds later.

Space debris and satellites.

The debris is anything ranging from rockets to defunct satellites.

An upside down flag is for distress, they can maintain that as a cover story for their mistake!

Unless I'm mistaken, a while back there was a spate of pics of her as a meme about counting to potato and stuff, so I presume it's a merger of Wonka and the newer "stop picking on my kid" pic she was in to have a further tongue-in-cheek joke at Down's Syndrome in general.... not my kinda humour though so I could be well off the mark!
