That was only 9 years ago? Maybe I'm not that old.
Right? I would have guessed closer to 15.
Yeah why does it always usually feel the other way around (XYZ thing happened 15 years ago?? I thought that was last year!) but for this one I had the same reaction as you, "only 9 years?".
Obama was still president. How's the age now? I feel like it's been an eternity. Not a limbo type of thing, but more of a "Different Strokes" theme keeps playing but skips right back to the beginning before hitting the chorus...for so many years...
All while showcasing his own from the opposite angle. I believe he got banned as a result but not sure if it ever was rescinded or just expired. Classic either way
Expired if I remember right.
Yes, he got banned for a year or something.
An IT professor just told me he had to go over basic hygiene with his class. Sometimes stereotypes exist because they're true.
It's funny, I visited a technologie University the otherday. It was open to the public. Two student were talking about a 3rd one. Saying the guy didn't wash and spent his time studying.
The fucking prayer hands 🙏 🤣
Didn't he get banned or something too?
Yes. For a year or so.
Died the first time I saw this. I wish he'd kept up his hobby. It's hilarious.
He got banned after posting, iirc.
I never realized how important MtG was to the plumber community.
Pictures you can smell.
The aroma of stale cheap pizza, days old sweat, and poop.
Why have I never noticed that he has gas station pumps tattooed on his knuckles lmao
They're letters. Not sure which ones, but definitely letters. Just a weird font. I definitely see what you're saying though.
Alright yes those are definitely letters now that I zoomed in but 
what I'm talking about for those that don't see it
110% i can see the gas pump, especially with the pointer finger.
The one where he’s teary eyed is outstanding
Fucking legend
9 years?!... Damn, I'm getting old.
I know right? Once you hit 10, you might start seeing some new hairs...
🙏
I have been in hundreds of packed rooms before, but I have never experienced a packed room that smells as bad as a room packed with MTG fans.
So is lemmy just geriatric millennials reliving their reddit heyday?
The community is called c/antiquememesroadshow, so that's kinda the point there.
You are in antiquememes sooo...yes?
In the sense that we are trying to get back to a time when our platform of choice wasn't a cesspool, yes.
I see Reddit's toxicity is leaking into lemmy.
I mean, in this specific community? Yeah... Just look at the name.
We are just regular millennials. Oldest millennials are in their 40s.
I knew what I was going to see and I clicked through anyway. Why did I do that? Why did I keep on clicking past the 18+ filter?
Obligatory "I remember when that was first posted" comment.

One of the greatest memes of all time.
Oldie but a goodie
Thank you for your service.
