The internet is wild, people spend most of their time in small echo chambers and they think that is the whole internet.

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago

I mean, back when this was a meme the whole internet was like a single echo chamber, especially in the early days of YouTube and even more so prior.

[-] pjhenry1216@kbin.social 89 points 1 year ago

No. No it wasn't. I've been here since YouTube started and have never seen this. People thinking they're experience is everyone's experience is wild.

[-] gonzo0815@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago

Had a colleague that told me about some memes with a gay porn star. He couldn't grasp that I neither know the guy nor the memes. Allegedly they were all over the internet for years. I've never seen any of them since.

This guy is a libertarian right wing incel, so I'm pretty sure our internet experiences are completely different.

[-] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 8 points 1 year ago

I mean, there is a shared experience for people who were online when things started. I remember Newgrounds, eBaum’s World, Nyan Cat, Epic Rap Battles of History, StumbleUpon.com.

I imagine you also experienced some or most of that short list to some extent.

[-] pjhenry1216@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

Eh, maybe. While I am familiar with those things, I don't think I'd ever assume everyone my age and on the Internet would as well. Different strokes for different folks. Moreover, this didn't even take into account age at all. So not only did it appear to strike out with many of the same age, it'll likely strike out with most users who simply weren't on the Internet for that relatively small period of time.

[-] snooggums@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

Eh, my mom was on the internet at that time and would know absolutely zero of those things because she didn't visit humor sites. I knew them because that is the stuff I looked for.

Kind of like how most people watched MASH when it was the most popular show ever, but not everyone did.

Deeply offended at the lack of Homestar Runner in your list.

hmmm... I'm pretty sure I've been around since before YouTube started and don't have any idea, so I still think is the case.

I think people tend to not understand how big internet is, even back then. This makes it difficult to know which memes really made it all the way to become THAT popular (and even those are not know by everyone, some people just don't follow memes)

You ever click on a link while thinking 'this is a bad idea"....

In no particular order, it would contain the words:
"Use" "a" "grapefruit" "to" "satisfy" "your" "man"

The people commenting with the context so others can understand it kind of highlights the absurdity of the original claim.

The video is called "the grapefruit technique".

[-] Black_Gulaman@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 1 year ago

I may be from the other side of the internet, I haven't seen this.

I must be the internet equivalent of the high school weirdos playing MTG during lunch period because I've never heard of this particular meme.

My old ass was definitely thinking "goatse".

Okay I've just watched the video, very informative. I don't have a man to grapefruit though, so-

...has anyone tried it?

[-] Dee@lemmings.world 11 points 1 year ago

The citrus, it stings. Or so I've heard.

[-] InvaderDJ@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I recognize this meme, but that’s because I’m a fairly old Internet degenerate. I’m sure most people don’t recognize it.

It’s a legendary video though.
