2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.

I'm just commenting here because every single popular post I commented on this community was magically deleted several days later and I'm too lazy to go parse the modlog to see if its mods being dumb or people deleting their own posts for no reason.
EDIT:
Risitas will always be funny

Usually gaming online or when I think about how psychopathic and hateful our current government.
Pre memes we had movies like Billy Madison and Tommy Boy. Those quotes are permanently part of my vocabulary. "Stop look at me swan", Housekeeping. You want mint for pillow?".
The oldest actual meme/Internet thing I regularly reference is "here is the earth, round" or "the cheat is grounded "
:-)
I remember a time before emoticons and we'd say stuff like *g* for grin. But I don't use those anymore. And I never adopted emojis. So that narrows down when my brain calcified.
Verbal memes count? I still say "I am Audi 5000" or "Peace in the Middle East ✌️" when I am leaving. The latter being pretty sad that it is still relevant today from the day I stated using it.
Ohhh is that because the Audi 5000, unlike the European version (Audi 100) had "unintended acceleration" as a feature? Which actually turned out to be that the pedals were closer to each other than some Americans were accustomed to, so in some super rare cases it would accelerate while the driver thought they were hitting the brakes? And then 60 minutes "demonstrated" it with a rigged car and it took decades for Americans to trust Audi again.
I had no idea that this was the actual origin of the terms but yes, I just looked it up, it was due to the unintended acceleration of the Audi 5000 is why its associated with leaving quickly, because that is what this vehicle did.
Ea-Nassir. For some weird reason, it seems to come up in conversations about fanart.
