they become old when they get posted on facebook. They become vintage when most of the facebook boomers stop using them.

I doing think IM CHARGING MY LAZER ever made it to Facebook. Probably died before Facebook tbh

Charging ? It’s firing dude. IMMA FIRING MAH LAZOR !

I knew it sounded wrong.

Give me a break it's been like 15 years and I didn't feel like looking it up.

This is fresh my dude πŸ˜ŽπŸ˜ŽπŸ‘πŸ’―πŸ€ŸπŸ›Ή.

Margaret will get a tickle out of this on the Facebook πŸ’»πŸ˜ŽπŸ‘

When will the minion memes become vintage, will the Facebook mom's ever let them die?

I don't know when they become old but this is a straight fossil. It feels like my whole life has passed since this meme

You were probably young when you saw this meme, so i'd imagine the majority of your life did pass since you saw it. Memes get old when we get old, but now their cool again, so we are too.

Prehistoric: appears in a Usenet forum

Ancient: MySpace

Decomposed: Facebook

Fresh corpse: Instagram

Elderly: Twitter

Midlife: Discord

Teenage: Reddit

Actually fresh: Lemmy

That’s a pretty generous early placement for Reddit

You might be right. I just couldn't think of anything else to put ahead of it without throwing shade at Lemmy's federated allies.
