MODERATORS
You misspelled "image macros."
The thing about this though, is that before the advice dog and the impact font era, memes had a lot more variety. To me, this was watered down normie shit.
Why is philosoraptor crying?
Those aren't tears, it's a face tattoo. They were all the rage back then in the before times. Example A:
spoiler
Pretty sure we're all crying these days
I remember when a meme was coined by Richard Dawkins before the Internet meme became the standard.
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.
Haha, I had the exact same route and for the same reasons
Yeah 9gag had the dankest memes for a while
The good'old days of r/adviceanimals...
I stared at this for 5 minutes trying to figure out if it was loss or not.
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.
Now trying to turn this into a PCM
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.

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
Maybe you weren't, but in the places they were born they were quite massive. Enough that the rules officially said you could be banned for it.
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.
