I think I'll always enjoy amogus shenanigans, even the utterance of the in-game slang, long after that game fades from public awareness. I can't even fully explain it, it presses fun buttons for me.

I feel the same way about astronaut-2 astronaut-1 though it may be because the concept is so strange and so specific yet is also so applicable.

Showing my age, I still remember this one fondly, even if it's older than a lot of people posting on this site, right now.

Oh yeah, I should also include anakin-padme-1 anakin-padme-2 anakin-padme-3 anakin-padme-4 because so many moments of the last decade make good use of it.

I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating. And it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.

yeah prequel memes are vintage, will find myself quoting them to just myself and i just respect that memetic power plus it makes watching them more fun cause i point at the screen and make a face

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It felt damning just how few memes came out of the Disney trilogy, except maybe forced memes like "THEY FLY NOW" anakin-padme-4

🡄 To Be Continued

Especially when instead of "Roundabout" by Yes, it plays "Love Machine" by The Miracles.

Big Chungus is so incredibly unfunny and nonsensical that it wraps back around to being one of the funniest things ever to me. It wasn't funny in its heyday, but goddamn if I don't find its modern use to be hilarious.

Bushisms I am too young to remember

"Now watch this drive" passes my lips far more often than is proper

Trumpisms that have largely aged out of public perception, e.g. "many people are saying this"

SHEEEEEESH

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 20 points 4 months ago

There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on... shame on you.

Fool me... you can't get fooled again.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

I still think of this ancient aliens guy when I see some galaxy brain take or outrageous grift:

'all your base are belong to us' might have been the first meme I remember where people really used it in all sorts of circumstances, pretty early viral meme

  • “We got a badass over here.” if I didn’t get weird looks for using this it would be the ultimate retort to a lot of chud shenanigans.

  • Leekspin. It’s just cute :)

  • I miss the lolcats of the 2000s

  • Anything between 2009 and pre-gamergate internet: Slenderman, oppa Gangnam style, etc.

King of the Hill YTPs still make me howl.
