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 !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  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

ジョー jyoo is Joe
おわり owari means 'the end'
だ da is a copula basically functioning like 'is'
The pun runs the o of 'Joe' into the o of owari to get jyoowari da or 'It's Joever'

Thanks! It even works when you drop the kanji and hiragana into google translate.

Coolio! Worth pointing out maybe, there's no kanji in the sentence. The 'Joe' is written in katakana, which is the more angular text and used kinda like italics (for foreign words, emphasis and onomatopoeia). The rest is hiragana.
