Just realized there will come a day (probably already has) where people can't hear this image.

... you thought harlem shake was better?

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

IMO, not specifically Harlem shake, no, but Harlem shake was a product of the Internet in its prime.

IDK if that makes any sense

I agree. It was bolder (for its time), it was carefree, and it had the thrill of exploring new territory. I miss Vine goddamn it.

[–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

IMO, there's no reason that vine needed to be shut down. There's so many ways to monetize that kind of platform, and they basically said "we can't figure it out" and closed up shop.

Ah. Takes me back to Sixth Form this does

I can't read that without imagining a very extended boss fight.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

unfortunately sixth form is much more boring than that

Hmmm, ours was pretty violent, sadly.

[–] VerilyFemme@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah when I said the day had probably already arrived, I wasn't prepared to face that cold reality

[–] Stamets@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Nor I, dearest user... nor I...

Blippy’s Harlem shake was the best one
