I had to explain the ORLY? owls to my 23 year old colleague recently. Next thing, I'll be yelling at people to get off my lawn, I guess.

When people complain about the "doing me a meme" type of animalspeak I want to shake them and scream "Catspeak, motherfucker! Can I has it?"

Anyone remember the Cheezburger website? Not exactly nostalgia but I haven't thought of it in years
ScottaHemi
I do, not sure if it still exists though. i remember it kinda died about 3 years ago...
amagiciannamedgob
I saw it the other day. It has... news articles? I WTFd right outta there.
jethroismaxbaer5772
So which is older?
DukeDarkwood
Zero Wing released in 1989. I have no idea when its intro first went memetic, but it was at least 2000 (based on the archive of an old site
DukeDarkwood
I used to frequent that referenced it often - I think the site goes back to late 90s, but its archive page doesn't).
jethroismaxbaer5772
If I recall, SomethingAwful was behind it truly exploding.
MrFancyPanzer
Damn, this brings me back.

To the early days when memes hadn't yet become a full language. Just cats and dogs

It's amazing the amount of time people will spend on absolute bullshit/ trash memes.
ChickenChickenBurningBright
Dude, keep up, that was 5 months ago - we're all about black holes today.
Theoricus
Bruh, you better catch up, we've been on black holes since 1916.

Nice! I found an old external HD today with a folder full of this website's golden days. Uploaded the walrus/bucket ones earlier.
Kaysmira
I have a few folders full of this stuff. Some from Failblog and the other websites they linked to on cheezburger.

Ahh yes.. YTMND, the age before memes were called memes. The good ole days

YouTube before YouTube, Vine before Vine. It had it all! Just make sure you were using g the right browser, so gifs would play correctly
hockeyham
Imgur before Imgur
BahamutBBob
Because Firefox would play gifs at a different speed than other browsers. Was it Firefox? I don't remember.

If 'I can has cheezburger is ancient', does that mean 'All your base are belong to us!' is prehistoric?

Prehistoric even?
thebridgejumper
If it’s a month+ old, it’s ancient.

Case in point
outlawjosey
True
TicoMachi
I swear, the time it takes for memes to be ancient is getting smaller and smaller by the day.
cantname
It’s because of all the people who use it in every conversation they can. Like ligma, that was funny but when everyone was like “HAHA LIGMA”
cantname
It started getting really annoying and now it’s not funny anymore

So would this be prehistoric?

Pre-cambrian memes

Mathematically, it's the equivalent of archaeologists finding out about how long lost cultures like Egypt worshiped felines.
Bfizzle
What does that have to do with math?
Schmuck4hire
In internet time, 8 years ago is as far from the modern day as the building of the pyramids.
TorvicIsSanta
"Proportionally" would be a more appropriate word
Gorutokun
When was the internet ever appropriate??
