I wish I had saved some of the super niche memes from back in my days on the Penny-Arcade and usenet forums I frequented in the late 90's up until about graduating high school. I suspect many of them would be confusing as shit even when they weren't in-jokes centered around those specific communities just because they're like ancient Egyptian to these more 18th century aged memes.

All good with these coming back, but let's keep the racist puffin in the past.
