hmmm... I'm pretty sure I've been around since before YouTube started and don't have any idea, so I still think is the case.

I think people tend to not understand how big internet is, even back then. This makes it difficult to know which memes really made it all the way to become THAT popular (and even those are not know by everyone, some people just don't follow memes)

I love how instead of "oh, I don't get this joke, oh well" you've gone directly to "these other people don't understand the internet as well as I do!!1"
😂

The lesson was "your experience is not universal, other people have different experiences than you". Your reading comprehension needs work, also you lack empathy, and project your own insecurities on to those around you.

Sure, whatever makes you feel better 😂

Also - “your experience is not universal, other people have different experiences than you” is exactly what this person should have told themselves and moved on instead of replying and making it all about their experience not being universal, that's entirely my fucking point lmfao

No. Because they're replying to someone claiming it was everyone's experience. They are not the same to anyone who understands the English language.

Don't you understand that you are in a discussion forum for discussing these things? "That's entirely the fucking point lmfao."

You need to take a step back from the Internet for a bit.

[-] pjhenry1216@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

Except the fact that the joke relies on the concept everyone would understand it. So not getting the joke undermines the joke as that was it's whole fucking point. It's literally trying to say a generalized idea of the internet and is objectively incorrect. It tried to do it in a funny way and objectively failed when the premise is laughably untrue.

Weird take. He never said that at all.

[-] systemglitch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

That would be me. The only thing I did back then was play video games. There was no web browsing unless it was for a game. I didn't even know what a meme was until about ten years ago when I started using Reddit and branched out from gaming related themes.
