This is the low-hanginng fruit I came here to upvote, if not post myself had I been faster.
Bruh…
Remember when they were jokes instead of regurgitated ad slogans?
Remember when memes were just asking if you remembered a thing
What a minute!
We don't have that brand here, so whenever people would quote that slogan online, I thought it seemed kind of sinister, like a quote from a horror film/game. I was so disappointed to find out it's just a snack brand :(
They're terrible cookies never buy em.
rewrites the quote on twitter, screenshots it, and posts it back on lemmy
screenshots it on lemmy and posts it on IG
the limit that everything converges against?
nah, that's why i value simplicity
Back when the concept of a cat eating a cheeseburger was the pinnacle of comedy?
It still is. We've been going downhill ever since.
I dunno, the cat playing a keyboard really gave the burger cat a run for its money.
That cat's grammar and spelling were terrible, and it was hilarious.
Here's something nearly as old!
Remember when they were beans?
I remember when "meme" ment an idea that had caught on in the public mind, not any image with text slapped on it.
I broke around the time my coworker started referring to funny videos or pictures as memes.
Hell yes! At least the demotivational posters were in dark mode!
I remember when they moved or you could interact with them via FLASH.
And you could right-click to rewind instead of waiting until the gif finished
THANK YOU.
