MODERATORS
The demotivational poster meme came before the advice animals meme.
And there was a whole kerfuffle about the advice dog/animal format not being a meme, but an image macro!
Shoulda been Abe's head in the middle. Go the extra 15 miles!

T L E V E LIs this a Chris Nolan reference? 🤯
I don't think Christopher Nolan was around when this was made
Duhhhhh, he went back in time, just like in Christopher Nolan's hit film Tenet.
I miss Demotivators. Especially the RPG Demotivators from RPG.Net
My place of work in the early '90s used to have those original motivational posters all over the place, so I hung some of this original demotivational series in my cubicle. I believe they are the ones that started it all, and I still personally think they are the best.

Pepperidge Farms remembers?
We used to be a proper fucking society, with class!
Needs more belt onions.
Dude, I shit brix
That font was definitely not the style at the time.
Most of the people on the entirety of lemmy and mastodon won't get this one
I beg to differ. I'm an elder millennial and as far as I can tell, most people here are my age or older.
Same + agree
Get off my lawn

I saw a poll for age a while back on Mastodon and most respondents were in their 30s or 40s
Kills me inside when I see youtuber/celebrity communities
I've felt like an odd one out here for a while. Took a bit to realize I'm probably thrice as old as any average user here.
I feel like maybe I should be nicer to the literal children who try to debate with me their asinine, juvenile takes, but also... I think getting slapped around a little in your safe-space is healthy at times.
I think the average user age here is probably 25 to 30, are you 75 to 90 years old?
the literal children who try to debate with me their asinine, juvenile takes
This explains so much, as someone in the upper age brackets; youngsters baying for a learning opportunity while cutting themselves on their edge.
Maybe I should be more forgiving.
Maybe I should be more forgiving.
Sure, you can be more forgiving. But slap them around anyway!
Meh, fuck that. Welcome them to the internet and smack them down. They gotta learn. Embrace your inner Aslan.
