sometimes i contemplate the cultural moment and where things like dabbing and bottle flips and our current slang vocab come from, and i have a moment of solidarity with the turn-of-the-century youths who said now-incomprehensible things like "23 skidoo" all the time
imagine being someone even as near as 100 years from now and encountering one of our memes - an image or video or text snippet so redolent in extremely specific cultural context that it's completely illegible without specialist training
specialist training! there are gonna be folklorists and historians who specialize in ancient memes!
@typhlosion just look at memes from ten years ago. They're short-term cognitive graffiti.
