    Yeah plain text based & image only memes

    I put on my robe and wizard hat, that dancing baby gif, all your base, etc

    There was also some push back on posting images with text embedded because it makes the text unsearchable/not compatible with screen readers at the time/forced font and color that can make it harder to read, but then the image macro sites took off that made it simple for anyone to create from a template and there was no turning back

    I always saw it as mocking racists, but with the power of hindsight I guess it’s a real Schrödinger’s racist situation.

    There was a time when memes were just dudes fighting snails in the margins of medieval manuscripts.

    Speaking of ancient memes I showed this to my teen the other day and they didn't even begin to understand.
