Welcome to Retrospec™, the last social media network you will ever need. You are one of the few selected to test this exciting new platform based on our cutting-edge algorithms. Less than two hundred invitations have gone out, and membership is not currently open to the public. However, we hope you will come to see how useful Retrospec™ is, given time. We have for your use a variety of features such as text, voice, video, and image posts. We encourage you to explore our many options. Please feel free to use this post as a network mingle. Every toplevel can be considered a new post, and threadjacking is permitted. No NPC response will be given. As a reminder, everything besides uploading a profile picture and information was locked until this post. Usernames are the character's full real AU names, not aliases or chosen nicknames or usernames, and seemed to have filled themselves in; nothing characters do can change or obscure their names currently. Oddly, profile pictures still cannot be swapped out at this time, so hopefully you took a good one.

i can teach you memes
holy shit raising my fucking hand here let me teach you memes
take my hand well go on this carpet ride together
we can start small with cheeseburger cats
and then rise to tumblr levels of memetic evolution
maybe take a dip in the less contentious 4chan shit
tv tropes will be our oyster
we can DO this

also youre right you have the emojis down pat
ive been schooled

Does the Internet have a fascination with food? I've seen a lot of things about cinnamon rolls and cheeseburgers and salt. Everything seems to be high in calories or sodium but I'm not sure if that's a correlation. ( as a vegan, pearl feels oppressed )

But yes, I would definitely love your help. I bought a book on the subject, but it won't be here for a few days.

[parodeity]

wait you bought a book what book

[concern]

The only thing pure about a cinnamon roll is that it's pure sugar and calories. How this is funny is beyond me.

This book seemed relevant? I don't think it's scientific, but I've quickly learned science is a lost cause here.

[parodeity]

ok shit that book actually looks like a thing i would read
how could you do that to me

also its like
i guess internet humor is kind of absurdist and not quite grounded in reality
when you think about it
like picassos works

[concern]

I'll let you borrow it after I take the appropriate notes.

That's actually an interesting, understandable way to put it. I'm not very into that kind of art, but I think I get what you mean. It's more like a Kandinsky than a Bellini.

Maybe if I absorb myself in memes long enough I'll eventually find them generally humerous!

[parodeity]

oh sweet id actually like that
thanks teach

if you want i can send you some continually until you do

[concern]

I believe in science the larger your sample size, the more results and variables you have to contend with.

So yes, please send me as many memes as you'd like.
