In Lesotho (and I assume other developing countries that teach the English standard) they use those phrases because the 24-hour day and 60-minute hours are a foreign concept to many kids and their families.

Maybe to you. If this is the kind of content that you like and gets upvotes in this community then y'all have fun with it; it's not harming anyone. I just commented after seeing it on All because I only just noticed the trend of memes being used differently than they used to be.

Nah this is a devolution.

The woman in the meme is supposed to say something unreasonable, and that makes sense because she's clearly emotional and angry. Her correctly solving the puzzle doesn't align with her picture.

Then we've replaced the cat with Skeltor... for what? I guess him being wrong makes more sense than the cat because the cat is usually correct, or just minding their own business, but why not use the meme with the monkey looking sideways? Or why don't we use the Winnie the Pooh meme?

It just seems like someone slapped together three images they saw on Reddit without really trying to make sense. And for some reason people up vote this. Idk.

What's with all these weird misused memes

Uncultured, clearly hasn't read enough Discworld.

Found this. Basically the claim here is that funds were allocated to this project, and although some of those funds were redirected, congress never deallocated the rest, and therefore they have to continue to be used. I'm not totally convinced but it's a more nuanced take than the comments here.

I've forgotten how to find and subscribe to a community on an instance other than the one I'm on. Once I get some time to reassociate myself I'm sure I can figure it out again but it's not intuitive.

For most people in the US at least they can only identify iPhone or non-iPhone.
