You know when you get a little too far outside of your area of research and read something that wasn't meant for your eyes?

I'm just a lowly limnologist here, but human scientists are you okay? Like what's going on here?

Text ID/ "Nick Mc on the Facebook page Entomemeology made a post that says: The man, the myth, and the meme legend David Brandt has passed away. He is known across the internet as the “it aint much, but it’s honest work” farmer meme guy. He was 76 and died a few days ago from injuries sustained in a recent car accident.🥲

What many people didn’t know about Brandt was that he was actually already world renowned for his regenerative and sustainable soil health methods before he became a meme. People came from around the globe to visit his Fairfield, Ohio farm and see the soil he crafted firsthand. Brandt himself has traveled internationally to educate farmers about his refinement of sustainable soil building using no-till, cover crops, soil health, nutrient dense crops, and direct marketing.

Known as conservation mentor to countless farmers globally, David Brandt was a sustainable agriculture pioneer and meme legend that will be greatly missed.

Above text is followed by the image of David that became a meme, with the following added: RIP DAVID BRANDT, 1947-2023. Meme Legend. Global leader in no-till, cover crops, soil health, nutrient dense crops, and direct marketing. World renowned sustainable soil building champion." /end ID

i feel like the admins of facebook groups such as Wild Green Memes for Ecological Fiends and Entomemeology should start kicking out all the assholes who write stuff like "BURN IT WITH FIRE" under posts with interestingly weird animals...there are so many of them now..with no curiosity only morbid fascination and cruel dismissive comments...

Like somebody asks for specification of species of some peculiar creature and about 100 people jump in just to say they dont know nor care, but that it should die.

oops. my dash did a bad thing.

[ID: a screenshot of two posts on my dash. The top post features a screenshot from another website that says "Grandmas get it" followed by a post from "Entomemeology" that reads "My grandmother knitted this pillow for me when I was 10 years old or so, after my scorpion died. Thought you all might appreciate. [heart emoji] (Edit: thank you all for your love! Gi passed away in 2007 and we miss her everyday. She was an amazing person)" This is followed by two photos of a blue knitted photo with a black scorpion with a halo sitting on a cloud.

The second post features a photo of a bat clinging to a rock and eating a scorpion. The caption on it reads, "Pallid Bat (Antrozous pallidus) EAT A TASTY SCORPION!!!!, family Vespertillionidae, AZ, USA. photograph by R. Jackson | USFWS" /end ID]

The Chronicles of Greg:

A tale of Entomemeology

By Dylan Obe

Greg Bauman was your typical boomer bug enthusiast. He loved bugs, so, when he stumbled upon a group called Entomemeology, he thought he’d found his people—other bug lovers who could appreciate the finer nuances of insect life. He eagerly clicked “Join.”

But Greg didn’t know what he was in for. EntoMEMEology wasn’t a run-of-the-mill entomology group. Sure, bugs were discussed, but they came with a side of internet chaos, memes, and randomness. Bug memes, jokes, and even the occasional off-topic meme fest populated the feed. And Greg, being a serious bug guy, was not amused.

For weeks, Greg scrolled in silent frustration, unable to believe the absolute irreverence the group had for the scientific study of insects. How could these people call themselves entomologists? He had joined for intellectual discourse, not this tomfoolery.

And so, one fateful day, Greg snapped. He made THE POST that would go down in group history. In his bold proclamation, he declared:

“There’s a lot of stupid content in this group.

Doesn’t deserve the name entomology.”

What happened next would change the group—and Greg—forever.

The comments came flooding in. At first, they were just light jabs. “Who invited Greg?” one user quipped. Then came the memes. And it didn’t stop there. Every meme, every post, seemed to have one thing in common: Greg.

“Don’t be a Greg,” became the rallying cry of the group. Greg had unintentionally become the symbol of everything that was too serious, too literal, and too out of touch with the fun-loving inherently weird spirit of the group. It didn’t take long for “Greg is the worst” to trend in the comments, with people tagging him relentlessly.

And yet, through it all, Greg remained steadfast. He didn’t respond to the flood of notifications, nor did he make any attempt to defend himself. Instead, he fell into a period I refer to as the “Gregcluse era”. He watched from the shadows, rarely commenting or engaging, but never leaving the group. Greg simply endured.

Over time, something strange began to happen. Amongst the relentless trolling and Greg memes, a counter-movement began to form. People started to admire Greg—not because he was cool or funny, but because he stayed. Greg’s quiet perseverance, his refusal to be driven out, became a symbol of something deeper. Members of the group began to say, “Maybe Greg’s the real one. Maybe we’ve been too harsh.”

Soon, the Greg Love Movement was born. What had started as a joke had now turned into something akin to reverence. Greg became a living legend within the group. His name was spoken with a mix of respect and awe. He had taken the abuse, and in doing so, had become a symbol of resilience and, ironically, the spirit of the group itself.

People who had once said, “Don’t be a Greg,” now found themselves proudly declaring, “We are all Greg.” His name became synonymous with enduring in the face of chaos, with standing firm in a world of memes. Some even began to revere Greg as a deity of the group, worshipping him in their own bizarre, meme-laden way.

Greg himself, though? He remained a mystery. His profile picture, once a simple photo of him with his guitar, occasionally shifted—sometimes a dog, an axolotl, or sometimes a boat. But one thing never changed: Greg never left, and he never friended anyone. In fact, it was rumored he had disabled the ability to even send him friend requests.

The lore of Greg continued to grow, and he became a legend of Entomemeology. His reluctance, his silence, his indifference—everything about him was now the stuff of myth.

And so, the reluctant deity Greg stayed, his presence still felt in every meme, every joke, and every new member who unknowingly asked, “Who’s Greg?”

They would learn, in time. They would all learn.

Thus lies the tale of Greg Bauman, the man who did not appreciate memes, and yet, became one.

I kind of want this comic but for REALTORs.

Like the house centipede is a REALTORs saying they sell a house then the yousona says for us then says they are hungry, and have the ending be similar.

I image a Realtor always feeling itchy if the have house spiders and house centipedes inside their house bodies.

If Realtors had centaur forms these should be house spiders or house centipedes.

Image not mine but link is there.

Entomemeology on X: "The poor misunderstood House centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata) might look really scary. But they’re actually pretty chill. These beautiful centipedes originated in the Mediterranean and have spread globally via trade. Original comic by SNAKE. #housecentipede #entomemeology https://t.co/37grLDoHIT" / X (twitter.com)
