Yeah same here. Anyone have some context or backstory with the meme so I too may partake in the funny?
I’ve been around so many sites trying to figure it out but the consensus is that no one really knows… it just kind of happened. It’s a legit photo and not shopped though
Thanks for sleuthing. At the very least, it’s pretty funny and I got a good chuckle
looks like the whole point IS that it's just absurd, but real.
this is new to me too. I'm always up for a new-old meme! 🥰

incidentally, it looks like the academic papers published by the the guy in the photo are in that same category . . .
Super villain energy right there
Nostalgia. Feels good man.
It's not too late, it's never too late
Please explain. I don’t get the joke.
The joke is the absurdness of the photo.
Older memes were more simple, meant to be weird and bizarre cause it was different from what people were used to getting from traditional media like magazines and TV... Try not to overthink it.
Also shock/random humour was a lot bigger back then.
You are more likely too old for late memes. I happens to us all…
