We love old memes because they remind us of a time when we felt like participants instead of consumers

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Sorry you didn't get the joke. They weren't referencing anything because they were only there to say "Hey, remember this one?" We all did, and the townspeople rejoiced.
If you don't get all warm and fuzzy for nostalgia, you aren't old enough yet.
Old memes are funny. Old meme templates with new low effort text is not and the kinds of like chuck testa is just plain spam and always has been.
Anyone can create memes. Only few can create clever and funny ones.
