dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

So I am curious, does the Chinese zodiac really work like how it says it does on the back of those paper place mats they had in the strip mall Chinese place that was probably actually owned by Koreans that I went to as a kid or is that a bastardized version?

It's a lot more complex compared to the Western Zodiac and what you get on those placemats

I'm not calling myself an expert, but I do know that in addition to the animal signs, you also have the five elements, whether or not that cycle is possessed of yin or yang, and also that cycles heavenly and earthly stem

So yeah, the placemat is not fully informative
