Just realized there will come a day (probably already has) where people can't hear this image.

Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

I can't, what is it supposed to sound like?
Oh god. The day has arrived.
The Internet used to be better
Before money ruined it all.
... you thought harlem shake was better?
IMO, not specifically Harlem shake, no, but Harlem shake was a product of the Internet in its prime.
IDK if that makes any sense
I agree. It was bolder (for its time), it was carefree, and it had the thrill of exploring new territory. I miss Vine goddamn it.
IMO, there's no reason that vine needed to be shut down. There's so many ways to monetize that kind of platform, and they basically said "we can't figure it out" and closed up shop.
Yeah when I said the day had probably already arrived, I wasn't prepared to face that cold reality
Nor I, dearest user... nor I...

ahh I can't believe people are nostalgic for the Harlem shake lol
I'm going to be saying the same about Skibidi Toilet in 10 years.
I'm not even sure what that means. I'm familiar with Harlem shake, but skibidi toilet?
The Internet is a weird place. I love it here.
Okay so.
Skibidi toilet is -- or started out as -- a Source Filmmaker Youtube poop. The first few videos were some heads popping out of toilets kind of nope.avi style while, if you'll pardon the double entendre, scat singing.
This somehow got spun up into a multi-part war drama. I must reiterate: Somehow. The word "skibidi" has entered the iPad kid generation's lexicon as either a nonsense word, a word meaning "nonsense" or I think I've heard it used the way Bill & Ted would use the word "bogus".
Skibidi toilet playlist (it does get better):

Oh. Gmod brain rot.
There's an interesting underlying message that I'm not sure is intentional, but yeah. Bunch of skibidi toilet "fun times" against the monitoring state engaged in war.
To me that says the only place where you're unmonitored in on the shitter, which is accurate given how much of a walled Garden we, the "adults" put together for kids doing remote learning by locked down Chromebooks during COVID. Seems like the youth putting these together were expressing their frustration with basically having no freedom to express themselves or even explore and have fun during the lockdown because of all the restrictions in place; not just the restrictions related to COVID, but all of the restrictions that parents and teachers had the opportunity to enforce very strictly partly due to COVID lockdowns.
It's a fascinating artistic statement from a pre-AI "art" era of only a few years ago.
10/10. Would skibidi again.
Thank you for the whole playlist that's probably never worth watching!
Wait until people come up with other, older things to be nostalgic about. Like Shoop da Whoop or Ronald McDonald Insanity. Peak 2000's internet brainrot.
I'M A CHARGIN' MAH LAZAR!
YTMND is calling your name
Ah come on, I've been nostalgic for JibJab for years!
