also people who have never heard of My hed iz pastede on yay

i've been on the internet too fucking long

sweet, sweet vintage memes

I've actually never heard of the second one

MondayMorning5: originated in fandom wank, but it was used for bad photoshops, essentially

tea_destroyer: memes today just don't have the same staying power

Ah that would make sense. I must not have been in that when it was a big meme

i remember seeing it all over lj, and then it eventually spilled out into places like the cheezeburger network

.......god i feel old

what happened...I remember first getting my own computer in what feels like 97 or 98..

we didn't have memes then, mostly

I actually don’t know/remember the first one.

we had dial-up

AND WE LIKED IT

cinnamonical: so it got popularized on bash, which was a repository for irc chat logs. there was a guy who trolled people by asking them to cyber, starting off normally, and then taking it to really weird places

like pretending to be a dnd wizard and then godmodding the other person, but not even in a sexy way

tea_destroyer: i remember feeling so smart because i could download a song in about 20 minutes and spend an entire day downloading a cd without paying for it. those were the days. now these kids have streaming and their spotify and their youtubes and bah

it's all instant and seamless

I'm too old, brain can't keep up

that's exactly what it is. it all moves so fast and i don't want to expend that much energy keeping up. i got other shit to deal with

it feels like to keep up with it now, you have to stay immersed and connected all the time, and I ain't got time for that

I feel so old, just knowing what QDB: Quote Database Home is/was

browsing QDB: Quote Database Home

i remember those! i remember reading random entries for fun when i was bored.
