  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I have so many off these from funnyjunk, NewGrounds, eBaumsworld, and a half dozen other websites i have forgotten the name of from 20 years ago.

Back when the internet felt like an endless sea of small random websites to discover. I know it was unpolished as hell, but I miss that compared to everything being on the same handful of corporate-samey sites.

AlbinoBlackSheep is another big pre-YT meme site I remember from back then

That's the big one i knew i was forgetting. Absolutely wild times sharing those videos with my brother and friends

I learned a long time ago that I'd prefer an unpolished, genuine experience to a polished, packaged one.

I miss when websites were full of original content and not the endless slog of reposted memes making the same joke on the same template about slightly different topics.

That internet still exists. But you used to hear about those sites from friends, and now you don't anymore.

Good point. I do miss when someone would find a funny new random website, and it would sustain us for weeks.
