dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

2006 is the exact wrong time to buy a house, wait like two years

It was the perfect time to start saving up a down payment

Shit was fucked in 2006. Sub prime mortgage lending crisis inflated the price of homes, which is why they all went underwater two years later

[–] Bobson_Dugnutt@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

Lol I had like $30 to my name back then

[–] koncertejo@lemmy.ml 19 points 9 months ago

[–] solitaire@infosec.pub 17 points 9 months ago

Do I still have to be politically brainwormed? Because George Bush is president and evolution is a hot button culture war issue (just before it was called the culture war)

[–] BioWarfarePosadist@hexbear.net 3 points 9 months ago

I was a freshman-sophmore in '06 and Bill O'Reilly was on about the "Culture War" back in 2001 when my parents started watching him every night starting in September. Thankfully the more I listened to Bill, the easier it was to remove brain worms.

twilight princess is 18 fucking years old now?!!!

[–] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago

Too old, time to leave libertarian-approaching

Jambi steadily increases in volume

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

God why couldn't it have been 2007, I was so close to the era when half of every YouTube video had 009 Sound System God pleeeeaaase

[–] proletarian_girlboss@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

We must bring it back. There has never been background music as powerful since its era.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 1 points 9 months ago

To quote "Dreamscape": you can do anything you want to.

[–] LeninsBeard@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

Me in the world's slowest time machine: I'm losing my patience I just came here to bounce

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Torture the mid aughts were bad.

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Were they worse than whatever we have right now though, I’ve been hearing conflicting opinions

[–] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I was really young but I’d say they were probably better than now just because the zeitgeist was overall just more optimistic than today. 2006 would have been before even the recession. But the mid aughts were not “good.”

[–] StellarTabi@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

food cost half back then lol

[–] Hello_Kitty_enjoyer@hexbear.net 7 points 9 months ago

It was probably worse for Gay/Lesbian people, possibly neutral for Trans people only because there were so few out that you didn't have frothingfash literally killing them

Probably better for POC in general because people become more racist when resources are scarce, also mayos knew nothing about non-white cultures, instead of knowing all the mayobrained cherrypicked shit and nothing else (muh gutter oil)

Imagine the things that could happen when someone with modern knowledge ends up in 06. How would people react to my accounts of the 2020s???

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nobody would believe half of it or listen. Hell people don't believe or listen when I talk about stuff that objectively happened when it's in the past, if I tried to tell people in 2006 about say COVID, I might as well be walking around with a sign saying, "The End Is Nigh!"

[–] Galli@hexbear.net 4 points 9 months ago

2006 isn't even that far out from SARS-CoV-1 so pretty sure people could wrap their heads around it.

What my past much libber self would struggle with is to understand just how willingly complicit every part of the social structure would be in enabling the spread in order to prop up the economy and just how fast consent would be manufactured, how fast we went from a strong sense of communal resistance to apathy. Maybe that is what you meant but then again try telling the average person today that covid isn't over and you might as well walk around with a sign saying, "The End Is Nigh!"

[–] SSJ2Marx@hexbear.net 13 points 9 months ago

hel yea lets go I'll get to make my sprite webcomic again

[–] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 13 points 9 months ago

[–] laziestflagellant@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

~~just don't save in the cannon room~~

[–] Laristal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 9 months ago

Yes please, when do I leave?

[–] Gorillatactics@hexbear.net 8 points 9 months ago

Back when Yugioh was comprehensible.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

[–] axont@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago

Oh no I'll have to endure lolcats again

And also hurricane Katrina but I mean the memes back then were pretty bad.

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 6 points 9 months ago

2006 was a good year for me

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 5 points 9 months ago

Do it, coward.

[–] Mokey@hexbear.net 5 points 9 months ago

If i got to keep my current music ability and redo college the answet is always yes

[–] Anne_Teefa@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

If only to come out to my friends which I had had feelings for then yes. But I'd have to stay for 2 -3 years to meet and or actually hangout with them. Then if everything fast forwarded to the present afterwards I'd love to see the results. Probably would be jacked looking like Lean Beef Patty. Or if I had to retread my way through, invest in Bitcoin and hodl for as long as possible.

"Hey Vilerat, wanna know something funny?"

[–] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

Just my opinion, 10,000 Days sucks
