I don't know when they become old but this is a straight fossil. It feels like my whole life has passed since this meme

- You were probably young when you saw this meme, so i'd imagine the majority of your life did pass since you saw it. Memes get old when we get old, but now their cool again, so we are too.

  You might be right. I just couldn't think of anything else to put ahead of it without throwing shade at Lemmy's federated allies.
