Remember when You used to see pictures like this and laughed at the thought of someone posing for it. Or wondering how it happened. Now we just assume it's AI and move on.

A lot of these ancient weird memes were photos from GISHWHES.

Never knew about this. Shame it ended, I would like to participate.

I have a feeling it will come back. Misha has been dropping hints for a while. If it does and you decide to join, be sure to join up with a local group or drag your family and friends into it - it's way more fun with a big group of people.

I just assume it's someone who voted for trump.

That's how dumb/evil it is.

It's someone having fun at the beach.

I... What? Do you know how the past works? And humor, too. Like, just..... What?

Or even just “some influencer did this entirely for likes.”

Obviously the thing that makes least sense in the image is Darth Vader visiting the beach. All that coarse sand, it gets everywhere!

[–] StellarExtract@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

He doesn't like it!

Mr. Big Stuff

Who do you think you are?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

🎵 You're so drunk. You probably think this drink is about you 🎵

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I thought this was the YMCA.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

It's fun to stay at the

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 16 points 4 months ago

Call them back and tell them I want my youth back!

[–] ChowJeeBai@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Great. Now I feel old.

[–] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago

Damn, I remember when this was first “going viral”

[–] Undearius@lemmy.ca 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

This makes perfect sense. Darth Vader just wants some high quality H2O.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 4 months ago

He's literally from a desert planet and his family farmed moisture. I guess you never really get used to the abundance of water...

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 4 points 4 months ago

Thanks for a genuine laugh!
