Right which is what I’m saying makes this a boring rage bait meme. It doesn’t contribute anything but triggers memories of conversations. Some people will think of things where they were annoyed at someone clearly misusing a word because they are stupid, then claiming “bro language, like, flows and shit”. Some people will think of (apparently, according to some other responder), people getting butthurt that the original 10000 year old meaning of the word nimrod got corrupted over time and think “yeah, language changes, think of all those nimrods”. But it doesn’t take a real stance or so anything interesting other than trigger feelings of annoyance in one direction or the other. So it’s rage bait.

At least they didn’t ram the joke down my throat
Right, so memes are supposed to be funny cause they are internet jokes.
Dos is fine but I really just want it to be funny
Oooh, thank you for explaining the joke. I was confused why sheep were involved.
These are your examples, not OPs. Your examples have no bearing on what OP may or may not have meant.
The content implies to me that OP have themselves been criticized and since your examples are all relatively antiquated I’m going to assume OP didn’t mean them. Because who alive is out there saying “nimrod was actually pretty skilled” on lemmy?
The other alternative which is even worse is that OP literally just means language changes and this isn’t in response to anything at all, it’s just a pointless generic post restating a truism. But I choose not to believe that one either, although it seems to be the interpretation you’ve espoused.
That’s the beauty of this terrible, terrible post: by not being remotely specific we can all imagine what word OP might be thinking of and imagine for ourselves whether it’s justified.
So perhaps a better phrasing would be “memes are supposed to be funny, not generic rage bait”
What if I told you memes were supposed to be funny rather than excusing ignorance?

Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: In the Soviet Union, they considered being against the state a mental illness and would lock you up for the crime of being mentally illEnglish
2·9 days ago“in the united states, they considered being against the state a mental illness” is the claim, not that the united states does bad things.
Citation, please on the claim. I don’t need a list of everything the us government has done wrong, I want proof of the one thing that was claimed
In this case a better proxy might be McCarthyism but afaik that was applying political pressure directly to fuck people over, mask off – not putting people in mental hospitals.
