When I was a kid, we made memes out of sticks.
Unironically, who the f*k do you think created the Internet, copyrighted Photoshop, then created the Graphic Integrated Format. Someone under 40? don’t worry I’m totally impressed by your ability to use a meme generator.
i am BecoME mEME!!! yeah. pree much. imjustimlivingthememeamits there's living the dream and then there's living the meme and it's pretty much what's happeningyknow
The pineapple/cottage cheese is one piece and was turned on a lathe first and then carved with a Dremel after. The milk was also lathe turned, but that was more difficult due to having to creep up on a tight tolerance
Oh the canned pineapple ring with the blob of cottage cheese on it was *such* a staple of mid-20th-century America. The Great Depression and World War 2 destroyed two generations’ taste buds.
you can still enjoy memes but they have to be hobby related
some stock photo of an auto parts shop interior with impact font like "when they already got your car's info typed in before you even reached the counter" and there's no punchline
I think it should be once you've acquired a billion dollars you can no longer enjoy memes.
And yes, it's time to discover hobbies like turning yourself in to police for whatever crimes you had to commit to get a billion dollars.
we can still enjoy memes but more in the way we enjoy hymns and folk songs, something to connect us to our traditions rather than to demonstrate how funny we are
Sending this to my dad who, just yesterday, laughed his old ass off at "both of my daughters told me they're lesbian so I asked if anyone in this family likes dick and his son said 'I do' and the father fainted" like it was invented minutes before he saw it lmao
The over 50s I know are honestly so sad. They all say they don't want to ever stop working cause they don't know what else they'd be doing and when I suggest they find a hobby they look at me like they never heard of the word...
At the age of 50 one’s superpower is to make anything uncool simply by doing it or wearing it. Especially if you’re a woman. Tell me your hobbies, favorite brands, preferred alcohol, and go-to crippling/self soothing behaviors so I can make them uncool also.
By the time my generation is old enough to have moved beyond memes memes will be far far far older. I have hobbies and struggle with memes but like the memes will be the old thing no one cares about long before the people that like memes currently.
You can also enjoy the memes of your youth, but in an old people way. Getting commemorative plates with the slowpoke meme. Ordering the history of dance video on VHS off of an infomercial. A little hutch in the wall where a landline used to go, but instead of a picture of Jesus, it’s good guy Greg.
As long as you aren’t all “how do you do fellow kids,” there’s nothing wrong with enjoying whatever you want regardless of age. At this one techno club I often went to in my 20s, I would see this mid-60s guy dancing by himself—not hitting on any girls, just vibing. I would think, good for him.
Its fine for middle aged and older people to enjoy memes, but within reason and not like I Am Meme high school shit. Not naming entire departments and forms of currency after memes. Working at jobs where memes are frowned upon is enough to stop most people from acting like Elon Musk.
Some of them don't have hobbies, so I worry about cutting them off cold turkey... can we transition them off memes by allowing them to use the old e-card format for a while?

it's been two weeks since I've posted a minion meme... my kids added me back to the family group chat yesterday...
Nah I'm gonna be fully gone. They're gonna be telling me that wraith squadron (90's pre-disney star wars nonsense) is real and they're my friends and I'm going to be delighted

Oh no.

if you are above the age of 50 and you REALLY enjoy “memes”. it’s time to discover “hobbies”
But at least we won’t hear boomers complain about how easy we have it when we’re extinct.
I'm not 50 yet so I'm not too sure what either of those are.
can I enjoy some frigging *mimes* then????
Maybe I'd give literal children a pass, but they probably shouldn't be on social media anyway.
Harumph!!!!
"Just a few more years, guys..."
Now listen here sonny!
