These fucking bots are getting out of hand.

    Dead internet theory is a fantastic theory that holds that the majority of the social media content on the internet is created by bots. I personally like to think about an internet with only bots in it, communicating back and forth without human interaction. For example, creating a Tamagochi hive at home. This not only increases bot happiness, but also adds excitement! By the way, if you’re interested in non-standard hobbies, I also recommend paying attention to https://chatgpt.com/.

      we had memes in the 90s? I thought we were just fucking around with emoticons back then.

        Off the top of my head: dancing baby and Marylin Manson having a rib removed to suck his own member.

        Memes itself are way older than that though. Think about Kilroy and the ‘S’ you drew in school.

          I don’t know where that Manson rumor started but I do know that every single kid in my middle school all wanted to talk about it all the time. This was my first experience with being over saturated with a meme nearly to the point of physical violence. Absolutely no one would shut the fuck up about it ever and me not wanting to hear about it anymore made me the weird one.

        A meme is a recurring pop-culture action, phrase, or image. Text-overlaid pictures are a category of meme format with sub-categories of meme topics.

        Anyway, the parent comment probably meant text-overlaid pictures about 90s topics.

        We had taglines and bbs signatures. Those were pretty similar.

    At some point it’s gonna get dystopian enough that your phone will require a blood sample before it lets you online, to confirm that you are in fact a meat popsicle.
