That rumour was everywhere by the end of '94. Not a lot of millenials in high school then. Almost all Gen X.
Late '80s. I was in middle school. That shit spread like wildfire.
I heard the rumor back in '74 when Malta became a republic.
I heard it back in '68 but it was about Paul McCartney
I fuckin love you guys.
Who’s this “we”, white man?
…I was poor and didn’t have it until I started art school in ‘99
I didnt know that only white people had internet access before 99. I'm glad they let us in, eventually. I had internet access at school before 99, but it must've been a white school or something.
It must be cool to be white and immune to being poor.
Edit: this comment was a Lone Ranger quote. Not just nonchalant racism. I haven't seen that movie in ages. It is a classic. Carry on friend. I apologize for assuming the worst.
It's a line from Lone Ranger (not the Johnny Depp one).
You are right. I haven't seen that movie in ages and forgot. I thought the person I replied to was just race baiting at first, but they were just vibing. I apologize for jumping to conclusions.
It’s cool, I shouldn’t have expected many people to get the reference, being how outdated it is even for me
Just vibing is the way to be, yo
Perhaps I should have because you missed my point completely
I heard it in 5th or 6th grade around 2001-2002. So still millennial. The post says elementary school not high-school... Just not the 90s in my case
ouch
