Star Wars Memes

Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Technical note: if you're coming from another star system and are getting a "Subscription pending" message when trying to dock, that's just the console being slow to display the right message. The connection is already established. (Probably.)

IMPORTANT

Do not post the "good friend" or similar copypasta

Special days!

Friday and weekends: Caption contest. An image will be pinned, and we shall make captions for it and post them in the comments.

Wednesday: Theme day. We have Droids day, EU day, poem day, aliens day... Let the pinned post guide you. Memes with the theme are preferred.

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.

The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:

  1. This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.

  2. We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.

  3. As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!

  4. Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.

  5. Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).

  6. Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.

  7. Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.

Somebody 30 years old is NOT a 90s kid. They barely would have been old enough to remember the last part of the 90s. They'd be an early 2000s kid.

People always get this wrong. What decade kid you were isn't when you were born, it's when you grew up. When you were like 8-16ish years old.

Hey Arnold 1996

Dexter's Lab 1995

Catdog 1998

Animaniacs 1993

These are all classic 90's kid shows

If you were 16 in 1990 I doubt you watched much of these shows

I was born in 1990

I still remember watching Legends of the Hidden Temple that aired 93 to 95

I grew up on all the 90's shows

I'm turning 34

I would definitely consider myself a 90's kid

Of course if you were born in December of 1999 that's a lot different

Like my brother was born in 1996 and he didn't watch a lot of 90's shows. Not really a 90's kid

But someone that is 30 today was born in 93 and that's getting close to the cut off.

You're not a 90s kid if you don't know who Major Payne is

98 here - I watched all of these and then some but I also watched all the 00s shows and cartoons. That being said I don't consider myself a 90s kid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I turned 30 last week. You are correct.

Tell me you never went to university, without telling me you never went to university.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I have two degrees from a university. I went in 2008.

If you were 16 in 1990 you would have been 21 years old when Dexter's Lab came out.

I know when I was 21 I wasn't watching the newest "kid" show on nickelodeon

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Dexter's Lab was on cartoon Network, which I absolutely was watching when I was in university and as a young adult, however I was 10 in 90, but I still saw the cartoons of the early 00s, as did a lot of my friends.

Seriously. I graduated high school in 1995 and someone who's 30 is a 90s kid? Are they 2 Legit 2 Quit I ask you?

[–] altima_neo 4 points 1 year ago

They've never even seen a slap bracelet scar, let alone wore their pants backwards or slammed a stack of pogs with an aluminum slammer.

Then it sounds like you weren't a 90's kid either. You were a 90's teen, and an 80's kid

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

As I am now a parent of a 13-year-old... they're still kids.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

True. My life began in the 2000s, got no memories from before that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

guess what I was born in the 90's and was 8... in the 90's!
