At this point it’s a meme, we should turn the subreddit settings to “restricted” for the first half hour after an earthquake so nobody can post a new thread.

I’m in the epicenter city of La Verne and there are so many memes of us freaking out then going about our day like normal.

I went to school today and it was not mentioned.

Apologies for not posting. I hadn't realized it was obligatory for all sub members in good standing.

Will post twice after next minor tremor to atone.
