Maybe I should redo this whole post so that at least someone reacts. Cut it into a thread of Mastodon-sized chunks. Post it on Saturday, not before noon, so I can reach as many people as possible in time so that they scroll down to where my thread is. Also, make two German translations, one in one piece, one as a Mastodon-compatible piecemeal thread.

It's amazing how little reach I have with some 500 "followers" plus three repeats.

Your link in the prior post doesn't open for me. It just hangs.

@Jupiter Rowland It does load, after 20 seconds. I used a stop watch ;)
@_jayrope @Flatbush Gardener 🌈 Okay, I've edited the post. For one, my ID was still in the URL, maybe that caused the issue. To be on the safe side, I've also removed the FEP-ef61 stuff that's of no use for you anyway.

That works.

You asked for feedback.

It's wonderful.

* I knew the meme, but not FEP-ef61.
* To me, "FEP" means "Frequently Encountered Problem", so I thought "an issue ID". So I was in the ballpark.
* The Explanation raised more questions, e.g. "snowclone"?!
* The complete compendium of Explanations anticipates, and answers, all my questions.
* It mirrors the way my mind works, following the rabbits down every hole, tunnel, turn, twist, and return.

@Flatbush Gardener 🌈 So you liked it.

However, this was never meant to be a one-off. It was meant to be the prototype for dozens of meme posts to come, all with explanations on the same level. I don't intend to re-write them everytime, I'll rather copy-paste together what I already have and write what I don't.

But if you say it is not overkill to explain dozens of single meme posts with over 20,000 characters each...

@Flatbush Gardener 🌈 By the way, you wouldn't suggest that I explain referenced media on the same level of detail as everything else in case someone hasn't heard of it, do you?

I mean, it took me days, on and off, to write the explanations I already have. And I expect other people than you to find this too long already and ask me why I don't simply link to external sources.
