That rumour was everywhere by the end of '94. Not a lot of millenials in high school then. Almost all Gen X.
Late '80s. I was in middle school. That shit spread like wildfire.
I heard the rumor back in '74 when Malta became a republic.
I heard it back in '68 but it was about Paul McCartney
I fuckin love you guys.
And by the time Millennials were in High School we almost certainly had Internet.
Who’s this “we”, white man?
…I was poor and didn’t have it until I started art school in ‘99
I didnt know that only white people had internet access before 99. I'm glad they let us in, eventually. I had internet access at school before 99, but it must've been a white school or something.
It must be cool to be white and immune to being poor.
Edit: this comment was a Lone Ranger quote. Not just nonchalant racism. I haven't seen that movie in ages. It is a classic. Carry on friend. I apologize for assuming the worst.
It's a line from Lone Ranger (not the Johnny Depp one).
You are right. I haven't seen that movie in ages and forgot. I thought the person I replied to was just race baiting at first, but they were just vibing. I apologize for jumping to conclusions.
It’s cool, I shouldn’t have expected many people to get the reference, being how outdated it is even for me
Just vibing is the way to be, yo
You probably have to add /s or root_beer won't know otherwise.
Perhaps I should have because you missed my point completely
Lmao nah we understood you
ouch
I heard it in 5th or 6th grade around 2001-2002. So still millennial. The post says elementary school not high-school... Just not the 90s in my case
