In case you aren't familiar with this meme, it's the Shiba Inu meme, termed "Shibe" or "Doge". * http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/doge * http://reddit.com/r/shibe * http://www.reddit.com/r/supershibe

why do they even have two separate subreddits for that?

I like it. And I always wondered why a programming language couldn't exist to work as follows: Start Run at 60 frames per second and do Clear the screen Draw a rectangle at (10,10) with size (100,50) and rotate it 20 degrees Repeat End Or something along those lines - hopefully you get my point.

It is absurd whether the proponent regards it as such or not and as such should be treated with the sense of humour it deserves.
