I mean, surely the meme itself wasn't the joke. That would be terrible.
In retrospect, it's probably best not to put the watermark in the final panel.

Campaign to get more internet dweebs to join us Lemmy dweebs
It should be like the dinosaur appliances in The Flintstones that say "it's a living"
"This job sucks!"
This job is shitty
IF YOU GO IN ME, YOU DIE
We should watermark everything now

No. Memes are for the people. No brands, no watermarks. Putting logos and trademarks on everything to indicate who they belong to is what corporations do.
Besides, I'm not even ON lemmy, yet I can post here too.
They are for the people, but what's the problem with showing where a meme originated from?
They all originate from either a goth teenager or some 40yr old in his parents basement. Why give credit to a random posting platform?

Whatever increases the net happiness in the world. 🙂
A utilitarian, eh? So, a group of men with runaway diarrhea are going to shit in five toilets who do not want to be shit in. You have no way of stopping them, but if you pull a lever they will instead be diverted to a single toilet-that-does-not-want-to-be-shit-in. What is the correct action to take in this scenario?
All, the natural evolution to the trolly-problem

*sapient. If it were merely sentient it could sense the bodily waste, but would be incapable of feeling any way about it.
This is a rare case where sentient is being used correctly. Sentient beings do have feelings, e.g. dogs and cats are sentient and can have cravings and even feel hate.
Sapient means having enough intellect to understand and reason about the situation. The post doesn't actually require that.
So we've got a lot of Homo sentients out there then?
Damn, as savage as they are
Kind of a grey area, so I'll allow it.
It would react like the robot in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.
The doors in HHGTTG are extremely satisfied to perform their job. They are very happy to open and close for you and let out a very small happy sigh when completing their tasks.
Imagine if you took a nasty dump and the toilet let out a satisfied "Ahhhhhhh..."
Hahahahahaha

I would like it to be dejectedly resigned to its shitty job just like I am, thank you.
Isn't this a thing from Hitchhiker's Guide? IIRC there's a company that creates sentient, emotional AIs and installs them into things like doors and elevators to make them enjoy their jobs and make the appliances even more useful... but everyone just ends up hating them?
Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they tell me to take you up to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction? Cause I don't.
I'm pretty sure George would want the toilet to hate it
What if the toilet played ads at you based on the food you shit out, where you can't flush the toilet until it's finished?
Please drink verification can to continue
I think that's a different question and I hate it. I'd rather shit in a hole in the floor before using a toilet with mandatory ads.
Literally would shit on the stall door if I saw that in public. Fuck forced ads.
