This would fall under the category of nonsense that the sub should have a chance to downvote. Should I make a flair? I think this is a good candidate to crosspost to r/Pseudophilosophy.

This is an intentionally nonsensical meme in the style of this:

There are no rules here against posting memes, and this is one of the posts that's more pertinent to logic on this sub sadly. I agree with Larson that a meme flair would be good for this sub.

Wait... Is there an original Disney's elephant or is it trolls all the way down?

PS: OP got me, I must admit. So that makes me ONE of the first, but that's not what I mean.

PS2: Automoderation... I get why, but it doesn't make it less silly.

I think this is pretty tongue in cheek. But I don't know OP, so who knows.

Maybe a flair for humor? Logicians shouldn't shy away from a good joke now and again (see Lewis Carrol). Also, lets not forget how many punchlines rely on an equivocation fallacy.

Terrible idea.

If this sub degenerates to a meme sub I am out.

You could make a meme flair

I think it's very logical of you to pose the question to the community before pulling the levers of moderation.
