Some of that feels much more ~2008ish. But given the lifecycle of memes back then, they still weren’t considered antiques in 2012…
2012 was peak rage comics. I remember scrolling f7u12 for hours on end. Then one day, it was like a switch flipped and they were all terrible. Almost like post-nut clarity. I don’t know if I changed or if they changed. But they instantly became unfunny.
I think we as a species ran out of funny subject matter for rage comics. I still assert that they’re better than wojaks though
I went full-on bacon eating back in 2012 because who cared. A year later I’m fat and slow. Fuck those Mayans.
I miss demotivational posters.
There’s a comm for it. Just not a lot of content
Everyone proved how indestructible the Nokias were by destroying them for views.
Bacon will forever remain epic, even if it is slowly killing me.
I think it’s a reference to epic meal time
Ohhh, right. Man, I’m a terrible Millennial.
Still funnier than skibidi toilet
I can’t judge anyone for finding Skibidi Toilet funny or amusing. I watched more than my fair share of YTMND, Badger Badger, and Salad Fingers.
Same.

Look at my horse, my horse is amazing!
But those are still funny/weird though, skibidi is just “funny for 3 year olds” level stupid.
But those are still funny/weird though
To you. And to me. Not to my parents, and I doubt many others.
It’s kind of wild how inevitable the cycle seems to be of every generation thinking, so confidently, that they have the unique recipe to all the best things and that all other generations had/have everything wrong.

I like trains
Skibidi Toilet isn’t really a comedy tho. It’s just giant mech fights and apparently the creator of it, some racist Georgian🇬🇪 zoomer lost all the rights to it after being fucked over by some company he signed a contract with.
Yeah, wild lore both in the show itself and in the background. Got into it because my niece fucking loves it and just… no shit, it is a wild time.
What? Mech fights? I’ve only seen the head in the toilet. Fuck racists though.
Yeah. It goes from funny toilet head man thing into this weird war between the toilets and camera head people and soon just turns into giant ass mech fights. My niece herself said she thinks the series is an allegory for arms races and, tbh, I cannot fault her for it because the later episodes get really wild and pretty well animated.
As for the creator, DaFuqBoom!, yeah he has made some weird stuff in the past includes jokes against George Floyd. Why would a Georgian, the country not the state, joke about that? I have no idea. And also he was fucked over by Invisible Narratives who took all the rights from the series, took all the adsense dollars he made, and also took all the money from the deals he made.
Like as shitty as a person as he is, I can’t help but feel bad. I assumed he was rolling in it, but he’s broke and has seen 0 return from the popularity of his series because of an unfair contract. Finding that out just felt weird. Like there’s this much cloak and dagger about the funny toilet vs camera show? What a time to be alive.
The bag of chips full of air was literally the first meme I ever saw
You must be way younger than me. First meme I saw was the hamster dance in 1995.
Not the dancing baby dancing to Hooked On A feelin’?
Doo do do do dooooooo
It’s amusing how each generation seems to independently come across the “empty chip bag” meme and the actual explanation - the bag is intentionally oversized and slightly inflated to give the chips a buffer against being crushed. I remember seeing it come up about once a decade, including pre-(consumer)internet.
Ever wonder why we’re here?
One of life’s great mysteries isn’t it? Why are we here?
I mean, if we took their base, then we’d just have two bases in the middle of a box canyon…
Web 2.0.
“… Just to suffer?”
That’s just a Thursday on Lemmy
Still better than all those degenerate wojak memes nowadays.
The bacon thing was… really weird.
I mean, I like bacon, but… not like enough to make a lifestyle out of it
I think it was an overblown reaction about masculinity and being against vegetarianism and whatnot. Obviously it became less explicitly about that, but i do think it stems from those feelings originally.
I heard it was in part a push from the pork industry. They were struggling to get grocery shoppers to keep buying bacon during the anti-fat fads of the 90s, so they spent millions lobbying fast food places and restaurants to make bacon a premium add-on ‘bacon makes it better’; then the fast food marketing machine slowly brainwashed a generation into bacon obsession.
Ugh. Nothing is even shocking anymore.
Truly the golden age
When epic meal time was the biggest YouTube channel.
Oh my god i completely forgot how much everyone loved epic meal time. Could never to content like that in this economy.
God I forgot about the whole bacon thing.
I remember it as the same time the narwhal bacon’ed. Never got the appeal of that meme.
And unfortunately I’m going to have to remind you how bad it got… https://www.baconaddicts.com/products/bacon-flavored-toothpaste-flavor-tooth-paste
I remember being really annoyed by the whole thing. People went from kale to bacon.
