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 I believe he got banned as a result but not sure if it ever was rescinded or just expired.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.
Pictures you can smell.
The aroma of stale cheap pizza, days old sweat, and poop.
I never realized how important MtG was to the plumber community.
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
9 years?!... Damn, I'm getting old.
I know right? Once you hit 10, you might start seeing some new hairs...
Amazing
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.
Fucking legend
One of the greatest memes of all time.
🙏
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?
So is lemmy just geriatric millennials reliving their reddit heyday?
The community is called c/antiquememesroadshow, so that's kinda the point there.
I see Reddit's toxicity is leaking into lemmy.
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 mean, in this specific community? Yeah... Just look at the name.
We are just regular millennials. Oldest millennials are in their 40s.
Obligatory "I remember when that was first posted" comment.
Thank you for your service.
Oldie but a goodie
