The fact that this video was uploaded to Youtube on 10th of February 2006... and Youtube was founded on the 14th of February 2005... is NUTS!

Also, this is a meme by definition. "A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme."

it's just in video/clip format.

And finally, this is not an antique meme. This is a freaking artifact of a bygone 'era,' and I love it!

I haven't torrented in many years. But I wanted to give a shoutout to all of the seeders that come back online, so ~~I~~ we could finish. There were many movies I had qued. Most were fine and finished up in three days or less, some started then stopped before they even reached the 15% mark, and several would make it to 98% then stop. Thankfully, there were some people out there who finally came back online and seeded enough for me to finish the dls. I made sure to seed enough peers to where there would be 10 seeders before I would consider removing it.

And a huge fucking thank you to whoever the hell came back online to let me get some obscure TV show called The Legend Of Mick Dodge. I started to dl when there were only 2 seeders. Then it soon became 0 seeders. I held out because I wasn't able to find a trusted torrent for the show. So I ended up sitting on that for a bit over a month. Then one morning, I checked my list and found to my surprise that both season 1 and season 2 were complete. I was shocked when I found out that there were now 7 seeders including me. And because of the annoying wait I had to endure, I made sure to seed the MFer for 2+ months before transferring it.

((Turns out, the TV show is on archive.org https://archive.org/details/the-legend-of-mick-dodge/))

And it has a porpoise—a porpoise to kill.

Well dang. Now I want to play Guitar Hero. (GH3 was my favorite by far.)

What unholy abominations is this, Batman!?!

Check out The Boat That Rocked. It's based on true events from the 1960s.

First time hearing about this YT channel. Thanks for sharing.

In no particular order as to why I left Reddit to join Lemmy:

• Reddit became a chore just to see good content. (This is even after the fact of filtering out unrelated or unwanted subreddits in my feed.)
• The comment sections on Reddit became worse and worse with more joke/meme comments than actually related comments, low effort comments, bot spam, and the burial of your comment for no one to see, (or care to reply to,) if you were to comment on a post or comment more than 24 hours after it's original posting. (Most of the time it felt like you had maybe 8 hours before it seemed to be a waste to comment.) Why would anyone stick around to comment or reply if nearly no one is going to engage?
• (Like many others have mentioned in the comments,) if you mentioned or talked about anything that wasn't considered good, you were often blasted with downvotes and/or comments.
• How often you saw rinse and repeat content, questions, and sometimes comments. (I'll admit. I took part in the rinse and repeat content 'sharing' and I wish I hadn't done it for so long. The karma whoring was real for me.)
• Concerns (then later the reality check,) about how much Reddit is an echo chamber.
• /u/Spez showing us who he really is.
• Not liking the direction Reddit was heading. Writing on the wall when they fired Victoria Taylor
• The API fiasco.
• Movement towards IPO.

Lemmy doesn't have any of these problems that I've experienced. Lemmy feels very much like a grass roots movement and I like that. I wish the communities that I am a part of had more active users, but that will more likely come with time.

No worries. The attempt to recall a memory was good enough.

Happy New Year.

I'd like to give a shoutout to all of the Wikipedia editors who created, edited, and updated obscure Wikipedia pages. The sure number of interesting things I wouldn't have learned about if it wasn't for you would be quite limited.

(FYI: There is a community on here for Wikipedia pages worth sharing.)

Haha. Yeah, I found it a bit too fast as well. Setting it to 75-80% playback speed worked well.
