dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

if Bat and Rat were both chosen, and you heard "At", you can't tell which it was

Only problem is that you’re probably saying something like “Bryan, b as in bat, r as in rat” and then even if you put it further along in the word, “ b as in bat, r as in rat” is probably still going to be pronounced distinctly enough to catch that it’s “br” and not “rb”. Something like “rote” would probably be a better word with r since it could easily get confused for “wrote” even with the r sound.
