Why is philosoraptor crying?
Relive the old days on !antiquememesroadshow@lemmy.world
I stared at this for 5 minutes trying to figure out if it was loss or not.
The good’old days of r/adviceanimals…
Now trying to turn this into a PCM
Back when I visited icanhascheesburger
Icanhas and Failblog were hilarious back in the day. I think that CEO Ben whatshisname wrecked it by commercializing it.
I was big on memebase back then
9gag
Same, untill it became a nazi cesspool. Then reddit, untill the API ban.
Yeah 9gag had the dankest memes for a while
Haha, I had the exact same route and for the same reasons
Now they’re mostly Twitter screenshots ;_;
right-winger posts some obscene post.
left-winger replies with a “gotcha” style of reply, disregarding anything else.
Both continue to use the same platform.
We need to go back.
And things were better for it.
old people memes lol
All your base are belong to us
Here I was thinking these examples were new age memes from the post Reddit era
!remindme 10 years “call this guy old”
As if I am not already an old fuck merely pointing out ownership by labeling these memes appropriately
no no no old people memes is ai slop posted by bots on facebook
Hey, mid thirties isn’t old.
No, but it is middle aged
Hey, 39 is still mid thirties!
It’s literally the end of thirties.
lalalala not listening
Mid to late 30s
Hey, we all come from somewhere.
We all come from the past.
We are all time travellers ✨
15? this is more like 20.
2006 we weren’t posting image macros en-masse like this. They definitely existed but I don’t remember seeing a lot of these until at least 2009-2010
Keep in mind the general population wasn’t really on Facebook until 2007 and people weren’t posting this stuff to myspace
I’m also being nitpicky and autistic about it so feel free to ignore me
yeah it was definitely more niche. i remember when the motiwational poster format made way to the advice dog format, and at that paint we banically just copy-pasted the images around different forums.
Fuck I remember the motivational posters now lmao that’s a blast from the past
This post is giving me psychic damage
what was up with the multicolor haxagonal-ish backgrounds?
It’s just how they were. That’s like asking “why are they all screenshots underneath plain text on a white background?” re memes now.
It was the style at the time.
It’s the hallmark of the “Advice Animals” category of memes.
Advice Animals […] are a type of image macro series featuring animals […] that are accompanied by captioned text to represent a character trait or an archetype that fits the role of a “stock character”. While many Advice Animals use a color wheel background, some use unedited versions of the original photo.
