I remember when “meme” ment an idea that had caught on in the public mind, not any image with text slapped on it.

Back when the concept of a cat eating a cheeseburger was the pinnacle of comedy?
Here’s something nearly as old!
It still is. We’ve been going downhill ever since.

That cat’s grammar and spelling were terrible, and it was hilarious.
Remember when they were jokes instead of regurgitated ad slogans?
We don’t have that brand here, so whenever people would quote that slogan online, I thought it seemed kind of sinister, like a quote from a horror film/game. I was so disappointed to find out it’s just a snack brand :(
Remember when memes were just asking if you remembered a thing

rewrites the quote on twitter, screenshots it, and posts it back on lemmy
screenshots it on lemmy and posts it on IG
the limit that everything converges against?
nah, that’s why i value simplicity
Remember when they were beans?
Hell yes! At least the demotivational posters were in dark mode!
I remember when they moved or you could interact with them via FLASH.
And you could right-click to rewind instead of waiting until the gif finished
THANK YOU.
Remember when we didn’t gatekeep memes?
No.
Remember when we didn’t cry about non-memes?
