The proper response is:
Rage comics were so much better than wojaks
wojaks have such a more mean-spirited energy than Rage comics. wojaks are fsr more designed for meme propaganda as well.
I miss the more nicer internet. Now it just feels like one giant soup of psyops
I mean, it was also mean from what I saw of it, just in a less organised way.
Attaching onions to belts was also superior to the yams kids attach to their belts these days.
Even the yams are better than the Labubus on kids' belts.

What's with the thing in Sam's eyes?
Meta. Its geordie’s visor
Ha, almost missed Rikers beard on Daniel.
He did grow a beard at some point, right? Although I think it was different.
What is Agent Scully's dad doing in the first panel?
It's clearly a shot from Stargate. I guess one of the guys from Stargate was also in X-files, then.
Why they've edited it together with Star Trek is anybody's guess, but it's probably just for the chaos of it.
It's actually the Stargate characters edited into a Star Trek meme.
Unless this meme itself is 8 years old.
2012 was almost 15 years ago.
That's 1.5 decades.
Stop stop stop stop stop stop stop
2005 was 20 years after 1985, like the bowling for soup song.
Guess how many years it's been since 2005?
My 40 year old back hurts.
I suggest a nice comfortable chair, a blanket, and some high quality ice cream.
That sounds awesome but now my back and the chair are all sticky. What next?
I'm not bathing you. Enjoy your ants.
I reject your reality and substitute my own!
Am I missing an eyebrow?

Nah it’s still 2018 bro

Rememember when memes were just goofy nonsense and not a vehicle for white supremacist ideology?
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Remember when computers were mainly used by researchers instead of post-gamergate 4chan 15-year old racists?
Pepperidge Farm rembers.
member when computer was a job title?
Still better than AI slop... By a lot.
Handmade quality vintage memes.
It was F7U12 that got me on reddit back in 2011....
Yeah I used to love f7u12 back in the day. Then all of a sudden they just stopped being funny. For me it was like a switch being thrown.
Never thought I'd live in a world where people were judged by the freshness of their memes.
(Old memes are better anyway.)
Memes can only be outdated once nobody can relate to them.
Like the oldest known joke on earth. It's not much of a joke since nobody alive today understands the punchline.
The donkey and your mother? What's so hard to understand about that?
🤨
I'm talking about the one with a dog going into a bar and saying "I'll have one, too."
Termite walks into a bar and says "hey, where's the bartender?"
Oh god, no, please no. Those were dark days... I do not wish to go back. Our path lies ahead of us, not behind.
at midnight
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
Is this Loss?
No, it is not
