People are getting memes from LinkedIn now?

FFS, it’s like buying a sandwich from OfficeMax. It’s not from there, and shouldn’t be there in the first place.

lol, can’t have fireworks injury statistics if you pass a bill that closes all the hospitals!

No - A Banana

As in, a top-tier, Grade A fully fresh yellow Banana! You think you’ll get a B Banana? HELL NO. Only A Bananas here, my friend!

The console TV in the meme would have needed 2 big ass, grown men to carry it down at most 3 steps, or just level ground floor no more than 75 feet.

The scent of sandalwood and canned fart spray.

Prove to me this isn’t a statue of Jonathan from Queer Eye

Hello my star sibling

Sure, I’m not saying that they’re immune from nostalgia. Im not so saying that because they were to soon after Boomers, they didn’t have anyone from whom to learn about making nostalgia a marketing device that consumes everyone, and didn’t really have a good run at first. The mid-70s sucked for most people, and waiting in line for gasoline with your parents and the rather bizzare kids’ shows of the time don’t hit as a unofied cultural icon the same as the NES or the Beatles.

100% agree with this. The 90’s were awesome for white males in North America and a few places in Europe born after 1950, and not a ton of other people. The same could be said of the 80’s or the 60’s up to 1973. Just because the Boomers (and then later Millennials) were great at the marketing associated with the entertainment detritus of when they had general periods of feeling awesome about life*, doesn’t mean it was the peak of anything.

Case in point, TWO of the most popular TV shows in the US in the late 80’s/early 90’s were one about living in the 1960’s (Wonder Years) and a show that included a lot of time travel to the 1960’s (Quantum Leap).

• To clarify this, Boomers dragged Western culture around on their emotions, so periods where a lot of them hit seminal age ranges (15-20 becoming and adult, and 30-45 when you have career and family and haven’t yet hit midlife crisis point) line up generally with larger periods of nostalgia setting in and being marketable. This is then extrapolated out to Millennials, who unlike Gen X, gobbled up their Boomer training and penchant for nostalgia hard. So the 80’s and 90s were sort of this perfect inflection point of career-oriented Boomers taking the lead and feeling like kinds of the world, then selling us the most brightly-colored plastic crap in the history of humanity, and then Millennials thinking that time, when they were also hitting 15-20, was the peak of human civilization. While the births per year are not quite a bell curve, there’s a range of earlier people in the generation that set the tone of that generation, which people a few years younger often go a long with. So it’s the first 5-10 years of a generation that are setting the trends and tones, and then another 10 years backing them up. Schools, specially high schools and colleges with 4-year cohorts, facilitate this by having the older classes informing the younger classes pre-internet. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I love this. I want people to need to hike 30 miles into the hills to ask an LLM for banal advice. And then spend the while hike back wondering about the word salad they got in return.

It’s beautiful.

It’s horrible.

It’s all of us, and we are ate.

Just curious.

Why is that, anyway?

Yeah, but the other person said the “Harambe Event” so my brain defaulted to Star Wars style use of the Battle of Yavin as the dividing line.

So we could call it Before/After Harambe Event, being the date in May 2016.

What’s the over/under that this is in Florida, and therefore makes total sense?

Should we just change our dates to be B.H. and A.H.?

Today is day 26 of the year 9 A.H.

Can we re-name months while we’re at it?

So today’s date is 26 Dicksout, 9 AH.

Harambe was born on New Year’s Day, 17 BH.

I literally think about that scene every time I order food online. I keep meaning to order pizza online and re-watch that movie just for that one scene.

Didn’t see that twist coming.
