My personal one
IIRC Pushback against "Unsafe at any speed" was the literal origin of the conservative think tank as a political movement. I think Behind the Bastards did an episode on it or maybe Stuff you missed in history class?
- It was always Ralph Nader's fault.
  (To the down voter: Ralph Nader fought to bring regulations for mandatory seat belts, among other life saving consumer safety issues he had a hand in. Man's a hero. Also, this is a joke. Ffs)
  
  The joke worked for me.
  
  He might have blown the 2000 election for Gore and doomed the planet to runaway global heating.
  
  Which part's a joke? I can't tell which of you think you're being funny.
- This one needs explaining
  
  I added a brief explanation
- Now you have to explain how they relate.
  
  I added a brief explanation
- Ah yes, classic blaming someone else for your problems, seatbelts aren’t even an American invention lol.
  
  Woosh
  
  Since everyone else is being mean and just in case you didn't figure out where you went wrong here: You are replying to a comment that is stating that the GOP/modern right wing party in the US had its origins as a movement to protest against mandatory seat belts being made into a law in the US.

At least there's a Jamaican bobsled team somewhere in the middle

This is way better mirrored
also oof
- To me the mirrored version just looks wrong
  like you don't mirror or otherwise mutilate well-established meme templates
  it's like an unspoken rule of the internet
  
  I like that it reads left to right! Yes, it’s also pretty uncanny haha
  
  Have you ever noticed how they often shake left hands in a lot of shows and movies? It's probably something about shot composition or something but...
  You ever wonder if everything that comes out of Hollywood is mirrored?

Much impress
- Much Wow

which one of those dominoes is my collection of rare pepes
- They just lost all value. Post your rarest pepe or I'll report you to DOGE.
  
  I don't know bout y'all but my rarest pepe was forged in the physical world with a pencil and a sheet of paper. It was so rare and powerful that I had to split it into 7 pieces and scatter them across the land.
  I'm not sure where the pieces are now exactly. Last I heard, there were two competing search teams hunting for them, one being a ragtag team of inexperienced heart-of-gold types and the other being some sort of evil empire.
  I figured it'd be best not to get involved.
  
  If you had told me ten years ago that one day "°I will report you to doge" would be a valid sentence and a real threat, I wouldve died

Sorry I'm OOTL. I presume this is the much wow shiba in memes but I didn't know this caused anything to america? Can someone fill me in about some of the dominos in-between please?
- Musk and his love of memes just got appointed to a new government position at the Department Of Government Efficiency or D.O.G.E. for short.
  
  Wtf seriously!? Omg
  
  And I was wondering why is doge coin trending so hard.
  
  It should be said this is a newly created Department and its authorities are nebulous. Could have power over everything, nothing, or in between.

Meant to post this as a response to my picture

It's probably turtles all the way down, but I think "A[n] ~~British~~ animators's email segment co-star ~~mispronounces~~ misspells 90s greeting" might be an even smaller domino.
Edited to replace failing memory.
- What's the story? I think I never heard of that
  
  Well, I misremembered half of it, but Homestar Runner was one of the many flash animations of the flash-craze heyday. Occasionally, they were puppets. From nearly 25 years ago: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tLSgRzCAtXA

The second brick is 17% SHIB coin increase
