Essentially the same meaning as "it is what it is", but to make it more clear that you can't "wish" for the unpleasant thing/situation/fate to not happen.

Get the L.H.O.O.Q. mug.It's not just about the format. Old internet memes (circa 2006-2015) were generally less obnoxious, less obscene, less grotesque, less stupid, less deadpan, less political, and just generally more graceful and lighthearted. You never took them seriously, and they always made you smile or laugh (NOT smirk!)
Today's memes often leave you smirking rather than smiling or giggling, as the meme often plays with the more ironic, farce and brazen side of humour. This makes for a less "happy" experience as such. Certainly not something you'd be consuming/posting unironically, unlike nyan cat, animal advice, and lolcat memes.
Another difference between modern and old memes is the level of irony. Obviously memes of all kinds is not meant to be taken seriously, but most modern memes will add a layer of irony on top of a seemingly serious context to make it seem funny or silly. Old memes are just funny or silly by its very nature.
Old memes can be virtually understood by anyone of any demographic and the humour is often naturally communicated by the image. Modern memes tend to be too ambiguous to be understood correctly by everyone and the humour is specific to a certain demographic (i.e. Gen Z teenagers). Serious debriefing is required to understand most modern memes, even the ones with zero meaning.
Overall, old memes just had that quirky yet graceful charm that modern memes lack. Old memes rule, don't let anyone tell you otherwise (and if they do, they're probably a zoomer).

Get the Shut the fuck up mug.An English word that for some damn reason sounds incorrect to our brain, is not listed as a word, gets spellchecked, but yet is perfectly correct grammar-wise.
Why it's not an officially recognized word (while its plural form is) is beyond me.
For example, in the sentence "the Church themself stated that...", the Church is a single entity and therefore can be used in its singular form.
