That was only 9 years ago? Maybe I'm not that old.

[–] FermatsLastAccount@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Right? I would have guessed closer to 15.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah why does it always usually feel the other way around (XYZ thing happened 15 years ago?? I thought that was last year!) but for this one I had the same reaction as you, "only 9 years?".

An IT professor just told me he had to go over basic hygiene with his class. Sometimes stereotypes exist because they're true.

It's funny, I visited a technologie University the otherday. It was open to the public. Two student were talking about a 3rd one. Saying the guy didn't wash and spent his time studying.

The aroma of stale cheap pizza, days old sweat, and poop.

[–] Deadeyegai@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

All while showcasing his own from the opposite angle. I believe he got banned as a result but not sure if it ever was rescinded or just expired. Classic either way

[–] Potato_in_my_anus@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

9 years?!... Damn, I'm getting old.

I never realized how important MtG was to the plumber community.

[–] FreeloadingSponger@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So is lemmy just geriatric millennials reliving their reddit heyday?

[–] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The community is called c/antiquememesroadshow, so that's kinda the point there.

[–] FreeloadingSponger@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

I'm talking about it's presence on r/all (or whatever you call that on lemmy).

[–] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Didn't he get banned or something too?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Yes. For a year or so.

[–] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Died the first time I saw this. I wish he'd kept up his hobby. It's hilarious.

[–] Tilgare@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He got banned after posting, iirc.

[–] HankMardukas@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

It was a pretty serious ban too. 18 months

Why have I never noticed that he has gas station pumps tattooed on his knuckles lmao

[–] Quexotic@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're letters. Not sure which ones, but definitely letters. Just a weird font. I definitely see what you're saying though.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Alright yes those are definitely letters now that I zoomed in but here's what I'm talking about for those that don't see it

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Looks like they say "H E R C"? Does his other hand read "U L E S"? Is that a Klumps reference?

[–] unpopular@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Might be “Zerg Rush”

[–] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

The fucking prayer hands 🙏 🤣

[–] ArcticCircleSystem@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I'll be honest, this is just weird. ~Strawberry
