Can you read the ancient glyphs
(lemmy.world)
I guess that would make knowyourmeme the modern Rosetta Stone
perhaps, but it will be indecipherable due to the 42gb of advertisements and pop-ups it loads.
ublock origin is going to be seen as a hero-like figure
It's not already?
All hail

Knowyourmeme has ads?
If I become rich I will download the entirety of knowyourmeme and engrave it on a giant block of granite or carve it into the side of a mountain. Our descendants will thank me.
I have no idea who the person is or what the context of the photo was, but just the cat + box part tells me all I need to know.
“I am not a bot, and this action was performed manually”
Thanks I try to remember but this one slipped by

There's gonna be that one academic weirdo in 1000 years who's focus is "Memes and Internet History of the 21st Century".
I'd bet money there are already ~~thesises(??)~~ theses (thanks, atomicorange!) and dissertations on this.
There's def already stuff like interpreting use of emojis. For example sometimes you have text messages show up in a court case and there are people who can officially "interpret" what the emojis mean for the court.
At least some portion of that have to be grifters
An accurate statement to append to literally all human effort.

Theses is the plural of thesis. Kinda looks stupid out of context but there you go.

Once I used a video meme to explain source studies and intertextuality to my students
With the proliferation of memes, that's probably going to be its own branch of academic study.
So one of my great-great-great grandkids might be able to get a PhD in Memeology?

As long as there are boxes and cats, everyone will know what this means for all time.
I remember the first time I was shown a meme by a friend. She showed me a rage comic on 9 gag and I absolutely didn't get it obviously and she was desperate to explain and just said "yeah it's not that funny but when you see them often you kinda start getting what they mean" and I thought that's a stupid ass concept and wtf.
Well, here we are now. It's about 15 years later. By now I have a toddler who speaks "English" but it's basically just meme quotes in fitting situations because her parents mostly communicate in memes.
Beautiful. You're raising a top tier meme lord. Meme nostalgia is gonna be huge
I don't get it even now
The face is from the “it’s free real estate” meme, with the unspoken words being the punchline
It's also [the face my cat makes when he's found a good box.
A dog walks into a bar and says, ‘I cannot see a thing. I’ll open this one.’

I absolutely love the idea that hieroglyphics were all just period specific dank memes that we just don't get because we're not in.
That's okay, some big thing like a Carrington Event is going to destroy the Internet as we know it one day and we'll lose a huge chunk of human history that was never preserved any other way.
I thought this was the adoring fan from Oblivion until I saw someone linked the source.
