The internet's biggest copypasta archive. Also a great place to disguise your personal rants and/or unpopular opinions as a copypasta.
I had a controversial opinion that I wanted to share on r/unpopularopinion, but didn't want to get any backlash so I posted it on r/copypasta instead where nobody took it seriously.

The layman's gateway into the world of software development.
The term was coined by Andrej Karpathy in February 2025, presumably influenced by similar Gen Z-esque terms such as 'Vibecession', where 'vibe' presumably refers to the fact you can code based on how you feel, rather than what you know.
While LLMs have always assisted people with coding, it is largely thanks to the introduction of AI-powered IDEs such as VSCode, Cursor.sh and Windsurf that have made vibe coding into a real thing. These IDEs feature an AI agent that will pretty much build your entire project for you. Because of this, anyone, even an 8 year-old kid, can have the means to create sophisticated software.
While vibe coding is here to stay, it certainly has no place in enterprise environments. Think of it like this: vibe coding is like shooting in auto mode on your DSLR, as opposed to manual mode. It might take some good photos, but to rely on it for professional work is like opening pandora's box. Even for individual projects, it is better to first understand the basics and best practices of coding, and then rely on vibe coding. That way you can independently evaluate the quality/relevance of the code being generated.

Example 1: Most startup businesses these days heavily rely on vibe coding to launch their first SaaS. (not recommended tho)
Example 2: Julian, an 8-year old boy, vibe coded his own J.A.R.V.I.S. assistant as an homage to his favorite superhero.
Example 3: "Bro did you hear? Alex vibe coded his way into a systems integration engineering career." ... "Yikes."

Yeah.... no.
The real unequivocal truth is, people from either ends of the political spectrum can make equally dank AND also equally bad memes. To deny this fundamental truth is the equivalent of denying the existence of gravity.
Let's first drop the stereotypes and concede to the fact that there is not a sliver of evidence which suggests your political identity is linked to good/bad memes. That is rather determined by one's creativity. It is a fallacy to assume that memes and politics are mutually inclusive, unless the meme itself is explicitly about politics.
Some individuals are so obsessed with political dichotomy that they become oblivious that a more apparent and broader classification (or way of thinking) exists. For instance, not everyone is into crude humour. It's as simple as that.
If anything, there is a far larger distinction between age groups, than between leftists and rightists, with regards to our ability to create the dankest of the dank memes. Boomers are the only ones that can't meme due to being accustomed to a different techno-cultural climate, hence creating the REAL immutable law of the universe: "๐๐ค๐ค๐ข๐๐ง๐จ ๐๐๐ฃ'๐ฉ ๐ข๐๐ข๐".

Person 1: The left can't meme!
Person 2: Wrong, the right can't meme!
Person 3: Neither of you are correct. Both the left and the right (assuming we're talking about people in general, and not collectively) are just as capable of creating good memes as they are capable of creating bad memes to the point that such occurrences which justify the "left can't meme" stereotype are merely by random chance.
Person 1: That's impossible! It was known since antiquity that the world revolves around a single immutable law, and that law is that the left can't meme!
Person 3: *chuckles softly* Well, my friend, it appears that you are mistaken. First of all, that is pure nonsense based off an unverified folklore. Second of all, it's actually a law that applies to the entire universe, and that law is ๐๐ค๐ค๐ข๐๐ง๐จ ๐๐๐ฃ'๐ฉ ๐ข๐๐ข๐.
*Person 1, after hearing upon that phrase, suddenly collapses onto the ground and starts to have an epileptic seizure*
Person 3: Thot so.
*Person 2 is seen running way in the distance*

An older man of means who desires a younger woman, usually 18 to early 30s in age as a lover. He entices her loyalty and obedience with money and gifts.
Though virtually identical, a pay pig, however, is not a sugar daddy due to one minor difference: the young women is the one who has possession over the paypig instead of the other way around. Basically the female is either in an equal or greater position.

The way that most humans naturally self-learned to wipe their asses. If you don't, then you're weird.
The only possible reason for wiping front to back is if your parents harshly disciplined you about it, otherwise you'd be instinctively wiping back to front like any other normal human world.
