Meh. I did just google lemon party, and the impact was just about zero. That’s supposed to be a shock image? Goatse had some impact on me when I first saw it years ago, as did 2g1c, but the mere memory of either of those doesn’t (how could a memory shock?). I can’t even imagine wanting to erase the memories, what for? I might want to store pleasant memories in a pensive to experience something pleasant “for the first time” a second time in different way, and then restore the original memory, but looking at goatse for the first time is not exactly something I consider pleasant (though not as big a deal as some seem to either).
I dunno. Personally I haven’t been able to look at chocolate milkshakes the same way for a while, and I used to actually like them, so that’s a memory I would prefer buried. (But goatse was just mildly impressive, and lemonparty didn’t even merit a twinge.) Probably everyone reacts differently to that sort of thing.
What do you think of memetic attacks, e.g. basilisks?
Edit: You know, if you downvoted me for being disgusting that means you agree with my premise. You should be downvoting FAWS, not me! (Not strictly serious.)
Lemon faces, goats and a rick-roll? I don’t think I get the joke.
A) Lemon party, not lemon faces.
B) You are way too trusting.
C) DO NOT GOOGLE THOSE THINGS.
D) Ok yes the rickroll was just for fun. But seriously.
