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

[-] FermatsLastAccount@kbin.social 38 points 1 year ago

Right? I would have guessed closer to 15.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 year 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?".

[-] Tylerdurdon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Obama was still president. How's the age now? I feel like it's been an eternity. Not a limbo type of thing, but more of a "Different Strokes" theme keeps playing but skips right back to the beginning before hitting the chorus...for so many years...

[-] Deadeyegai@lemmy.world 66 points 1 year 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 I believe he got banned as a result but not sure if it ever was rescinded or just expired.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

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

Expired if I remember right.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 10 points 1 year ago

Yes, he got banned for a year or something.

[-] Blastoid5000@lemmy.world 64 points 1 year ago

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

[-] telllos@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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.

So is lemmy just geriatric millennials reliving their reddit heyday?

[-] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 78 points 1 year ago

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

[-] FreeloadingSponger@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 27 points 1 year ago

There was recently a "movement of the month" or however you'd call it where everybody decided to post vintage memes, and I think somebody seized the opportunity to make a space for it and ride the wave.

Last month, it was beans.

Lemmy has very limited content right now - don't like it? Start creating your own content, maybe it'll make it to the top of all as well

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

I see Reddit's toxicity is leaking into lemmy.

[-] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 29 points 1 year ago

You are in antiquememes sooo...yes?

[-] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In the sense that we are trying to get back to a time when our platform of choice wasn't a cesspool, yes.

[-] SpookyBogMonster@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago

I mean, in this specific community? Yeah... Just look at the name.

[-] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

We are just regular millennials. Oldest millennials are in their 40s.

[-] johnlsullivan2@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah that's me! Early 1981 birthday

The fucking prayer hands 🙏 🤣

[-] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago

Didn't he get banned or something too?

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago

Yes. For a year or so.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 25 points 1 year ago
[-] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 year ago

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

[-] nobodyspecial@kbin.social 19 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Quexotic@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

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 21 points 1 year ago

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

[-] hazeebabee@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago

110% i can see the gas pump, especially with the pointer finger.

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

That far-right one sure has an interesting shape to it.

Hmmm maybe, but all I can see is the dashboard low fuel light lmao

[-] buycurious@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

The one where he’s teary eyed is outstanding

[-] KuchiKopi@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago
[-] Potato_in_my_anus@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Mikey_donuts@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago
[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago

I have been in hundreds of packed rooms before, but I have never experienced a packed room that smells as bad as a room packed with MTG fans.

[-] rand__althor@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Obligatory "I remember when that was first posted" comment.

[-] vynlwombat@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Fucking legend

[-] GoronKing@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

One of the greatest memes of all time.

[-] HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I knew what I was going to see and I clicked through anyway. Why did I do that? Why did I keep on clicking past the 18+ filter?
