I remember the Fark photoshop thread this came from. Damn I feel old.

It’s almost like you were one of the animals in the manger for this meme.

One of the first I saw.

Well what else is Ceiling Cat supposed to watch me do?

It's an older meme, sir, but it checks out.

Loved that little guy 15-20 years ago! It was a simpler time… a better time.

I love seeing the early 2010s again

Reminds you of the giant CRT monitors and sound cards, huh?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I miss my absolutely enormous 28 inch CRT monitor. Pressing the degauss button sounded like some star ship taking off. And then one day my desk collapsed under the weight of the thing and it fell on top of my original Xbox. Other than a tiny dent on top of the Xbox, the monitor and console were totally fine.

God, I miss daily degaussing. The closest analog these days is manually updating block lists.

Degaussing was fun, but gaussing in the first place was where it was at. Nowdays you can wave magnets at your PC all day and nothing interesting or destructive will happen.

[–] TheGoldenGod 3 points 2 years ago

It is a little strange a magnet doesn’t do anything, not that I’ve tried lol. All those years have me trained to not do it.

I've killed so many kittens... And that was just today.

[–] TheGoldenGod 1 points 2 years ago

If you didn’t, PETA would’ve done it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm just here to say what a fantastic channel/magazine name.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I think that's too old to be a meme.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Hundreds of species of insects, birds, amphibians and mammals are threatened by the overpopulation of cats in places where they aren't endemic. Save the environment. Do your part.

Why does God kill the kittens tho
