Not that I hated it. It's actually nostalgic seeing all the meme templates I grew up with once more.

ALT TEXT: An image of a velociraptor contemplating with the caption: why are we posting old memes? Well, if Lemmy feels like old internet forums, then the memes must also match

This isnt how this template is used. But it's ok. We all are getting rusty.

This is the third time I've seen one of The Ancient Memes used incorrectly, and a lot of me wonders if it's because those users were too young to have seen them all properly back when they were in circulation, so they're left guessing at the context. If so, I'm less annoyed and more proud to pass the philosoraptor down

This is not a T-Rex. I think it is more a Velociraptor. Refering to the Alt-Text.

Specifically, the philosoraptor!

It doesn't have video upload, so people improvise 😂.

It is kinda interesting, that people didn't give up on it I mean, but instead got creative and did silly things like this. Makes me rethink my stance of thinking we're doomed as a species.

That is a way too long character string for the ID, lol 😂.

I did, I noticed the long string afterwards 😂.

We're just boomers reviving our old Internet feelings!
