Hell, I remember memes from back in the day when they were just "image macros," like these:

That second one is gold.

Maybe I'm just old but the old memes were built to last. These newer memes fall apart after a few days.

So many days I open Lemmy to post and realize the only place it would be appropriate is antique memes. I just close it and think "maybe tomorrow".

Good thing so many users post entertaining things in the meantime

Is there an antiquememes instance?

Saw it in 2012, 5 years earlier, making current time in the meme 2017, which is nearly 8 years before this comment. 👍

The second one's funny because in French it's a mémé

And what does it mean? ("even"/"same", or "to remember"? So is she asking why am I the same? / why are people remembering me?)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I think it means "grandma" but in French baby-talk. Like mama, papa, mémé, ...

Ah, thanks!:-)

I love being surprised by a Loss meme that isn't instantly recognisable as such. Like "wtf this makes no sense....ooooh it's Loss xD"

Old memes that are still around are clearly still working great.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 20 hours ago

Its an older meme, sir, but it checks out.

Are 7f12u rage comics vintage now?

Idk, feels too hd, and colorful.
It's not even a good one, it doesn't channel the deepest dankest rage for me - we've all reseen a meme, it happens, no serial shitposter is safe from it.
