An easy pick for me but it captures the last decade so well. Lincoln looking at the noose/halo is what sends this one over from being just a funny picture into being genuine art. It should be in a gallery. It should be in the entryway to the White House.

iconic 21st century photo

[–] Notcontenttobequiet@hexbear.net 69 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I love this photo from 2010 during student protests in UK. The crowd is screaming "off with their heads" and the looks on their face are fucking chefs kiss

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

sucks those students are now 30 somethings writing transphobic think pieces while worshiping the nonce king

RBG funeral pushups guy

Didn't think anyone would even see this comment lol for brevity's sake:

The video is so amwesome https://youtu.be/1dmmGJBaMbg?si=3qGTCSOyCoK4bnxM

The way it is dead silent and that he looked nervous that it was unsanctioned had me laughing like a hyena

Plenty of these are funny but this one hits

Seeing that precinct building on fire legitimately radicalized me. Snapped me back into wakefulness in a way, like suddenly I remembered that historical moments are indeed happening in the world I live in. I'd been feeling resigned to the idea that the misery in America is too calcified to do anything other than continue growing, and then FWOOSH a good old-fashioned fire comes along to make the world feel alive to me again

Lincoln considering the noose like the fucking meme is the cherry on top, never fails to make me laugh.

Is there a greater era-defining image than this one?

It will define an era, I am 100% sure of it.

Also this one is pretty funny

[–] mushroom@hexbear.net 55 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

the frothing, crying pepper sprayed chud would be another great January 6 choice. and for palestine this is another defining image, rest in peace to its subject

This one really says it all. Red skies, wildfires, during a global pandemic, and there's a a UPS van just chilling in what looks to be the actual apocolypse

ridiculously choice picture, but I wouldn't say it defined the last decade

The first half of the 2010s were very different from the latter half in terms of how people behaved and humor. I think even moreso than the first and last halves of the 2000s.

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 69 points 2 years ago (12 children)

Feel like this exemplifies the pre-trump 2010s best

[–] CA0311@hexbear.net 38 points 2 years ago

completely unacceptable that there are so many words in this picture and none of them are "SWAG" or "YOLO."

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah, that's a pretty good summary of the 2000 and late period
