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

Saw it in 2012, 5 years earlier, making current time in the meme 2017, which is nearly 8 years before this comment. ๐Ÿ‘

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

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

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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

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?

Not an instance, but there's [email protected]

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

That second one is gold.

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.

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.
