Time gets away from us all.
I must not be that old, I don't see the memes of my generation. Philosoraptor will never be old.
Bad news, buddy...
NOOOOOOOOOO
Oh man, I never realized philosoraptor was a digimon! He's EVOLVED! But into a bone thing? Was he evil the entire time!?!
Advice dog got so old it went to the park and never came back
If you think that's bad, you should see I Can Haz Cheezburger cat today
i just checked, HappyCat hasn't aged a day
Taxidermy is an underappreciated art
Nope, Chuck Testa.
My 202026 resolution is to get meme famous so people can feel hella old in 10 years when I will surely look like a withered ghost of my former self.
Decent goal. Smart of you to give yourself 200,000 years to achieve it too.
I'm pretty sure 200000 years from now you'll look fairly old already
My 202026 resolution
Well you better get on it, you only have 200000 years to practice!

I don't need to see these to make me feel old...
I believe before those we just used and remembered disgusting images like tubgirl.
Well or ASCII art of trolls with fishes.
I guess there just wasn't enough bandwidth to send images around and not many platforms supporting images or hosting them. Traffic and bandwidth where expensive
Goatse and LemonParty also had very short URL links to their images, so you could sneak in the <img src= bit into a comment field that only allowed like, fifty characters, and still have some room for a bit of text too.
NVR4GET
Let's not forget ASCII Bambi vs. Godzilla.
Laina wins there
I miss the Scumbag Steve days. Was a much better time. With all this AI nonsense Iβll never forgive them for what they took from us!
Brian just lost the braces, otherwise he hasn't changed at all.
