Can we ban popcorn memes, please?

That is because it is filled from the bottom so the cat doesn't have to miss a thing.
OK, I understand your frustration. It is noted.
That being said, you have been here since May of this year. Many of us have been here for 10+ years. I don't think you have been here long enough to make a blanket statement like....
It's not that you aren't allowed to say it. But I don't think you have enough history and context to know what has or hasn't been discussed to death here....and what causes argum....uh.....friendly debates here.
Mixed drivers....oy.
Under/overpowering speakers.
Sound guy/"my tone" in live shows.
Best Fender that isn't a Fender
Woods used to make basses and if/how they affect tone.
I could go on all day. In fact, I think threads with these topics (and several others) should be REQUIRED to start with a popcorn meme. They should even have a popcorn icon beside the thread title when scrolling through threads!
By the way, we can derail anything. Try us.
As far as "clutter" goes, we have an Off Topic thread that is something like "Describe your last fart using a movie title." I feel as though the powers that be would have removed such content if we were at risk of running out of space anytime soon.
Also, lots of times people post those popcorn pics when someone asks a question that has been asked a bazzilion times before they do a search. The oerson who posted that pic is simply saying "This poor guy is about to get hammered and I can't look away". That's why we have the "best whatever for metal" running joke going as well.
We're all just having fun here. As long as it's not a for sale thread and everybody is being respectful talk about whatever. Post funny pics. It'll be OK.
"Describe your last fart using a movie title."
'Die Harder'... thread derailed...
If we're gonna ban everything that meets those criteria, there's not gonna be much to do around here anymore....

Tl;Dr
Did the OP think this thread would end in meaningful conversation (other than 2F),......or did he think he'd get a bunch of popcorn memes?
I think this thread was just a clever ploy to get some new popcorn memes in the OP's collection.
I enjoy it, and usually seeing the popcorn meme makes me laugh. And laughter is the best medicine.

Welcome to the Vortex.
you need to start a thread. oh, and make a poll when you do that.
banning free of speech/expression? how is that a good idea? if you step down that road it's only a matter of time before YOU are being silenced

We need a ban button at the bottom of every post. If enough people push it, the member is banned for a week. And yes, I know that I'd probably get it first.
Fools!
@el_bango_verde, fire the drummer & rage quit. It's the only way.
Happy New Year
