I don't think Christopher Nolan was around when this was made
Duhhhhh, he went back in time, just like in Christopher Nolan's hit film Tenet.

I've felt like an odd one out here for a while. Took a bit to realize I'm probably thrice as old as any average user here.
I feel like maybe I should be nicer to the literal children who try to debate with me their asinine, juvenile takes, but also... I think getting slapped around a little in your safe-space is healthy at times.
I think the average user age here is probably 25 to 30, are you 75 to 90 years old?

one of my cats has a safe space he retreats to, sometimes I try to pet him when he's in there and he hisses at me

Is this loss?

And there was a whole kerfuffle about the advice dog/animal format not being a meme, but an image macro!
All image macros are memes but not all memes are image macros.

I beg to differ. I'm an elder millennial and as far as I can tell, most people here are my age or older.
Same, I keep seeing people acting like Lemmy is full of young people, but I see a ton of people referencing stuff in our age range and older.

I remember these were called Demotivational Posters before they were called memes.

YES! My graphic design class in highschool printed out a bunch of em for the art show.

The demotivational poster meme came before the advice animals meme.
That means you are old to other old people

I like to drop in "as was the style at the time" in casual conversation to see who picks up on it.

This is the true beginning.

It's strange how no matter when someone was born, the best period in world history is the one when they happened to be kids.

This is more-or-less the format used for the motivational posters that were popular in offices in the 90s or so. People made fun of those with demotivational posters. But, those weren't really "memes", IMO.
But, the earliest thing that I think deserve the name "memes" (normally called Image Macros) were on the Something Awful forums (and soon after that on 4chan). In the early days they were mostly animal based: "lolcat", "doge", the "O RLY?" owl, etc.
Can someone point to "memes" that had the text underneath the picture, rather than using the impact font and written directly on top of the picture?

This was a "viral video", but was it a "meme"?
