Eternal September happened before most of the people on here were born

I think you underestimate the number of us old farts still lingering around. One of the great things about the Fediverse is that it gives us the old Web 1.0 vibes which we appreciate because we remember the early Net when all this was fields and you could buy an ice cream for a penny and still have change to catch the matinee down at the pictures and... Where are my bloody slippers?

I'd been a netizen (what an incredibly dated word) for 5 years at that point.

At least I still have my original hips!

Yes, but it's eternal, so here we still are.

Are you talking about mander.xyz?

No, I found this one on mastodon. Whoever posted it originally really was an admin of a university's own instance.

They count as serious scientific memes

Fun fact: The time since October 30th, 2022 is also referred to as "Eternal November". That's because November, 2022, when tons of completely clueless and often obnoxious newbies came flooding from Twitter onto Mastodon in expectation of an all-out Twitter-before-Musk clone and not knowing anything about the Fediverse, has seemingly never ended.
