In tribute to DCnDC: Please copy & paste this to your status in support of inertia because, with the singular exception of doing absolutely nothing, it’s literally the very least you could do, and we must all at least outwardly appear to care about inertia lest we be publicly shamed by everyone else on Facebook who’s also not actually doing anything to help with inertia, aside from this pointless, self-serving, completely empty gesture. And don’t forget the hearts. ❤❤❤❤ ---

While Google normally ignores symbols, it does find ı̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̨̨̨̨̨̨ for some reason. And it seems its most common function is to make people try to wipe their screen. ---

Note that it is quite a few symbols in one. It’s two combining marks with an undotted i. But the combining marks are repeated a lot, making them look darker, and more like a smudge. One of the combining symbols is a slash (/) and the other looks like the backwards version of the tail of a cedilla. Without all the repetition, the symbol looks like this: ı̸̨ . And Google does not index that. ---

Please put this on your status if you know or are related to someone killed on Alderaan when it was obliterated by the Death Star. My wish is that people will understand that the Empire is a band of murdering scum. The Rebel Alliance wants only to bring peace to the galaxy, but the evil empire continues to kill innocent civilians. 93% won’t copy/paste this. ---

I have a “friend” that I’m about to un-friend because all she posts is this sort of crap. Today she tagged herself in a picture of Caylee Anthony. That may have been the last straw. I did see one of these that did make me laugh, and I was momentarily tempted to copy and paste. It read “Please repost this if you know someone who is only alive because you are too poor to afford a hitman!” ---

> [@txobbin](#): > > Please copy & paste this to your status if you are constantly being asked to copy & paste something to your status by friends who copy & paste things to their status. Many people won’t copy & paste this but my true sarcastic friends will copy & paste it because they know this was copied & pasted from a dear friend in need of more stuff to copy & paste. Thank you! Please don’t forget the heart… ❤ I’d find this funnier if it hadn’t been posted to my Facebook feed by the friend who is the most notorious for C&Ping the glurgiest kind of crap…does she have no sense of irony? Speaking of Facebook, is anyone else getting error messages trying to log in right now? I can’t even send a bug report without getting the same message, “SOrry, something went wrong. We’re working on fixing it.” ---

> [@YoSaffBridge](#): > > And what’s the point of posting something for an hour? I think the “one hour” part is just to increase the virality of it. It’s intended to add to the guilt trip; “Not only will you not post this drivel to your status to [somehow] help [some cause], you won’t even do it for _one measly hour_? What kind of a human being are you?” ---

A meme is an idea that reproduces itself by temporarily inhabiting the brains of humans and forcing the humans to communicate the idea to other humans. Memes often steal bits of codes from other successful memes to maximize their own chances of reproductive success. Please copy and paste this as your status if you support and nourish new memes. 93% of my friends won’t help this meme make meme-babies, because they don’t care about a poor meme dying alone and childless. ❤❤❤❤ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fb-copy-and-paste/596502.md?page=1)
