why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

as children still smarting from their most recent authoritarian beating their only consolation was the thought of one day being an adult and meting out the same tough love

I'd say that was otm. I think a lot of the time, memes reflect more about the mindset of the individual sharing them than the world they're supposedly observing. Like the people who share really passive aggressive macros about how you shouldn't say mean things behind other people's backs always seem to be the people who invite and exhibit that kind of behaviour IRL.

So maybe, yeah either they want retribution for how they were treated when they were younger, or they were the ones who grew up as 'selfish disrespectful assholes' when they were kids and now have to make a point in protesting too much.

but a lot of the people sharing stuff like this didn't have childhoods like this. That 'I remember the comic sans of my childhood' thing paints a science fiction past that's a mix of post-war and Victorian times where women didn't work and people lapped at warm cream straight out the cupboard and children smiled and said thank you after being slapped.

Basically the conservative version of ''oh if only I'd lived in the glorious Sixties'' or whatever.

i have never actually heard anyone say that. thankfully

share if u... I dunno, rode a bike or some shit when u were a kid

I'm trying to remember... I think that's from a Wonder Showzen bit.

The men didn't go to the wife?

I don't know about that anonymous doggerel poet, but bread was really shitty when I was growing up in the 50s and 60s.

This is the creepy thing about this - you'll see people whose childhoods took place in the 90s or early 2ks sharing this stuff

And also the sort of free-roaming 'adventure holiday', or as someone here said Swallows and Amazons, lifestyle that kids are supposed to have lived in the past ... somehow that gets equated with hitting kids in the face ... and telling girls their future is in the house ...

I see fellow members of Generation X sharing those macros. I'm always like, didn't they have to invent missing children ads on the back of milk cartons when we were kids?

Yeah, we got to ride in the front seat and didn't have to use seatbelts, whoooo. My sister's head cracked the windshield not once, but twice. She's a concierge in Vegas now.

When we were young, we didn't have mobile phones to tell us when to come in, we had standing stones and a curfew. My mother would climb onto a dirt mound with two rocks and call for us in her pre-laryngial bark as she banged them together. We cut our stegosaurus steaks with a knife. We played outside, and cave-paintings were unheard of.
Share if you drank from Lake Natron and lived to tell the tale

Share if you got dumped out on the doorstep every night by your pet sabre-toothed tiger and it never did you any harm

hah

Yeah, we never had to wear crash helmets on bikes, which is why I nearly knocked myself unconscious twice as a kid. Still, some hot crusty unsliced bread and a slap from my parents and I was fine.

Stupid blue liberal arts family.

"hilarious parallels between a thing and a thing that was more or less explicitly modeled on and referencing that thing"

xxp People on the internet really seem to hate the liberal arts

Yeah and I thought according to the logic that it would be unlikely for blue liberal arts woman to be telling kid to work hard

looks like some hypernerd inserted the liberal arts thing in there. though maybe he's onto something considering i just spent my time digging it up.

cool that terms and conditions of waste disposal workers never get attacked

Enjoy this lifehack video. Can anyone explain to me what is happening after the homemade pudding pops?

Making some good old fashioned plastic ribbon twine out of a plastic bottle. It's the dog bowl and upside down bottle that confuses me.

That's a gravity feeder. Refills the bowl with water.

what actual year do we think that photo is from?

Looks like the late 90s/early 2000s

that original story is awesome and the photos are crazy awesome but why someone felt it needed to be transformed into a series of macros to really work is beyond me
