      Perhaps the thing from that time that aged like the finest of wines was “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE.” Cara was at least a solid decade ahead of her time.

      That’s a lucky era of memes that will likely survive for awhile. Finding old stuff from albinoblacksheep or the like isn’t too hard.

      I’m sad about all the YoutubeHaiku bullshit that didn’t survive long because of copywrite strikes and all. I look at old saved playlists and it’s all deleted stuff.

      In high school the class that graduated before me took a class picture, and all the jocks lined up in the front with their uniforms on. Then, when they took the “crazy” picture they pulled off their uniforms and had “DEEZ NUTZ” written on their shirts. They lied and said it was an inside joke, and when the faculty got all the pictures they realized what they did. So they had the entire yearbook committee draw Zorro capes and masks on them, and attempt to change the shirts to say “ZORRO” for some reason.

      This was in 1999.

    People say they want memes like we used to have back, only to flip out when a late 2000s/early 2010s style gmod thing blows up.

    • ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yeah honestly I only still like a lot of the old stuff because of nostalgia. If it all came back in full force it would get old quick.

      I grew up with gmod idiot box and dane cook bits animated with stick figures.

      I think the kids today are doing just fine, at least on the memes front.

    “Rizzler gyatt” doesn’t even make sense

    source
    • STRIKINGdebate2@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Yes. It does, boomer. Women can be rizzlers as well with their massive gyatts. A rizzler with a massive gyatt can rizz many men.

      • taiyang@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I get the sense that you compensate for lack of gyatt by having rizz, but I suppose it can go either way. The thicc just ain’t quicc.

    I never understood the Damn Daniel meme. Like was it ever actually a meme, or is it a meme that it was a meme at all? Cuz I never actually hard anyone actually say that, aside from the occasional youtube poop video.

      It was just a viral video at the time. I definitely have heard it used in real life, but mostly just when somebody got some nice new shoes or something.

    I try to stay open minded but geez, ‘gyatt’ really bugs me. It’s just a re-phoneticized spelling of half the phrase ‘got damn’, telephone-gamed into a noun somehow.

    I can enjoy or at least accept everything else but please. Stop talking about gyatt.

      Isn’t it a UK slang? It was fine until the sidemen mentioned it in a video and it led to this brainrot. And the Turkish velly dancing guy unintentionally made skibidy famous.
