dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

what year is it?

like this isn't an ancient image but I can't imagine it's less than 10 years old

I think I saw this on 9gag in 2010

This feels like a rage comic that was made before R*ddit knew what rage comics were. It's probably at least 15 years old.

Troll science has been around since like 2008, it was originally a non-r*ddit meme but didn't gain traction until the 2010s when it was reposted there. Some of the earliest comics are almost 20 years old.

If I remember correctly this got really popular around 2020 actually.
