That was only 9 years ago? Maybe I'm not that old.

Right? I would have guessed closer to 15.

[–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah why does it always usually feel the other way around (XYZ thing happened 15 years ago?? I thought that was last year!) but for this one I had the same reaction as you, "only 9 years?".

The aroma of stale cheap pizza, days old sweat, and poop.

9 years?!... Damn, I'm getting old.

I never realized how important MtG was to the plumber community.

An IT professor just told me he had to go over basic hygiene with his class. Sometimes stereotypes exist because they're true.

All while showcasing his own from the opposite angle. I believe he got banned as a result but not sure if it ever was rescinded or just expired. Classic either way

I have been in hundreds of packed rooms before, but I have never experienced a packed room that smells as bad as a room packed with MTG fans.

So is lemmy just geriatric millennials reliving their reddit heyday?

[–] itsnicodegallo@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The community is called c/antiquememesroadshow, so that's kinda the point there.

[–] FreeloadingSponger@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

I'm talking about it's presence on r/all (or whatever you call that on lemmy).

Why have I never noticed that he has gas station pumps tattooed on his knuckles lmao

[–] Quexotic@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're letters. Not sure which ones, but definitely letters. Just a weird font. I definitely see what you're saying though.

[–] Brunbrun6766@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alright yes those are definitely letters now that I zoomed in but here's what I'm talking about for those that don't see it

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks like they say "H E R C"? Does his other hand read "U L E S"? Is that a Klumps reference?

[–] unpopular@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Might be “Zerg Rush”
