Remember when they were jokes instead of regurgitated ad slogans?

[–] DakRalter@thelemmy.club 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

We don't have that brand here, so whenever people would quote that slogan online, I thought it seemed kind of sinister, like a quote from a horror film/game. I was so disappointed to find out it's just a snack brand :(

Remember when memes were just asking if you remembered a thing

Back when the concept of a cat eating a cheeseburger was the pinnacle of comedy?

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It still is. We've been going downhill ever since.

I dunno, the cat playing a keyboard really gave the burger cat a run for its money.

That cat's grammar and spelling were terrible, and it was hilarious.

Here's something nearly as old!

I remember when "meme" ment an idea that had caught on in the public mind, not any image with text slapped on it.

[–] Dicska@lemmy.world 2 points 20 hours ago

I broke around the time my coworker started referring to funny videos or pictures as memes.

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

rewrites the quote on twitter, screenshots it, and posts it back on lemmy

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

screenshots it on lemmy and posts it on IG

Remember when they were beans?

Hell yes! At least the demotivational posters were in dark mode!

I remember when they moved or you could interact with them via FLASH.

And you could right-click to rewind instead of waiting until the gif finished
