Ironically it makes you seem rather young to think remembering this makes you old

Remember the striper versions on porn sites?

I never understood who the market was. Like why would you want a little stripper clippy/bonzo buddy assistant?

The same people who wanted a loud 3D envelope telling them they received an email.

You think you're old, but are you creepy-ass CGI dancing baby old?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 28 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I'm even older. I was around to see the very first internet viral meme. That CGI dancing baby. I saw it even before it was featured on Ally McBeal, thus also starting the tradition of killing a viral meme when it hit mainstream.

[-] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I was there when All Your Base was created, 3000 years ago...

And who could forget

wololo

[-] Rotten_potato@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Viral memes on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched CGI babies dance in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain... Time to die.

[-] adventure@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 10 months ago

People would use these templates to create meandering comic style blog posts and present them as memes. It seems like they were the first generation of memes that went fully mainstream and imo were very bad because people could not help but make the comics very long and boring.

[-] moonsnotreal@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago

I grew up around the mlg meme era
