@cwebber I always think of these things like they happened just a few years ago, but now that I think about it I saw that for the first time 14 years ago.

@saxnot I said oldest "modern" internet meme... I think it was at the forefront of modern internet absurdist media stuff?

@saxnot person smacking their computer might fit the moldbut godwin's law is more the oldschool style of meme as in idea copied through society, less the low-brain-energy absurdist humor that has become popular

@cwebber your definition of modern is fairly self serving. Consider roman fights to death. Is that high culture?

@cwebber @saxnot so are we officially saying now that meme has become a meme and we have different kinds of memes, perhaps 'new' memes and 'classic' memes, and they will fight in a thunderdome?because that'd be coolOLD MEMES VS. NEW MEMESFIGHT

@saxnot okay, it was a very loosely made statement where I figured my meaning could be determined by my context... I really don't feel like spending time debating semantics...

@cwebber I think at one point I got really sad by being told that Super Mario Kart on SNES is closer to the moon landing than today.

@cwebber you have created an ill defined group which accidentally starts at exactly the time you want it to start.Obviously your statement is true since the rules are undebatable.

@redsPL @roka Yeah, I know perfectly well about the game, which is why I said the AYBABTU *video*, to distinguish between the two.
