I have that Rubbermaid pitcher. Works well. Would buy again.
The jug represents the simple pleasures of youth. Common to households across America, it would regularly be used to store a variety of sweetened beverages, from lemonade to iced tea to concentrated orange juice. The emptiness of the bottle signals the hollowness of nostalgia as we can only cling to the imagery even as we long for the sweetness within.
This meme reminds us that memes themselves are a throwback to a bygone day. In analyzing the symbolism, we seek to recreate the moment of blissful innocence. But we are bound by the chains of memory, able only to see but never touch the essence of the thing before us.
The text mostly just obstructs the image. You can ignore it.
I bet you excelled in your Literature classes.

Really? I interpreted the text in this meme as a rich commentary on the nature of textual interpretation.
- Consider: “is the glass half full or half empty?” In this image the answer is unclear, obscured by the text.
- In the same way, language interposes itself between us as thinking beings and the objective world.
- Together, these point to the nature of subjectivity in interpretation: is the jug half empty or half full? We cannot even reach the empty/full dichotomy (which is so necessary for the expression of our subjective interpretations) because of the obscuring nature of language.
Man I loved my Tupperware plastic jar, it was great.
It kept everything cold outside of the fridge, and when inside the fridge, the hermetic seal lid kept all tidy and odorless
You could even use the same sealed lid as a way to graduate the pitch of the liquid by varying the pressure on it
Man I miss that jar
Looked something like this
Anyways jars are awesome
We used to call these “image macros.”
Before that these were captions.
This is the original, but the “my brother in christ” part was the n word.
Sooo not the original then?
eh, this is the version that went viral
I don’t want to share an image with the n-word in it.
Valid point!
I was there when the first cheezburger was has’d. Cats were lol’d. Things have changed since then.
This is mostly likely the placebo effect. If people believe is a meme, it can have humorous effects even if is not really a meme.
They started to get called memes because the term meme itself is just “an idea or behavior that spreads through non-genetic means.” Everything you share online is, by that definition, a meme. The only thing that humans do that isn’t a meme is have children or spread disease.
there should be a file format for image + overlay text
With the extension .meme of course
pdf
Am I right or am I right?
That’s my type of gravy boat.
So they empty pitcher represents the emptiness of memes.
By selecting a seemingly unrelated image to the text, stating that the image doesn’t matter, you’ve actually associated a link to the text to prove your point, therefore making the previously unrelated image relevant. Checkmate atheists.
