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

No see he was referring to the people whose job it was to wash dishes. Dishwashers. Being "ran" is old-timey dishwasherperson slang for pulling a shift.

He's describing the fact that, due to the ravages of capitalism, dishwashers had to pull double or even triple shifts some days while sometimes they got no work at all, highlighting the irregular and unreliable pay that is part of the oppression of capitalism.
