    Philosoraptor is 15 years old, Bad Luck Brian and Success Kid are 12 years, but Doge (without that background) is 10 years. Best I can do is $3.50

    Its funny how AI in 2024 can’t come up with content as amusing or original as shitposts cooked up by teenagers from over a decade ago.

    I’m the original creator of the “Still waiting on OP” meme from The Shining and have a mildly interesting story behind its creation if anyone would care to hear.

        This is a mildly interesting story at best.

        In 2010 I was working at a video rental store (RIP) and got access to new movies before they were available to the public. Every day I’d grab one, and every night I’d stream them online for 4channers on /tv and /r9k. There was a chat built into the stream and we had a lot of fun for months and months, hanging out watching movies and chatting. It built a pretty big following. Think Twitch before Twitch existed.

        One night there were no new movies so I grabbed The Shining. We watched through it, and when that scene came on the screen I paused it to take a closer look. We joked and carried on about it in chat, and I screenshotted it and opened Photoshop and made the meme then and there. Everyone loved it. Several folks posted it on 4chan boards and it took off in a big way. We finished the movie and had a great night.

        One of my favorite young adult memories.

            Agreed. The modern internet is so locked down that it’s difficult to find those kind of fun, niche communities. Lemmy has a similar feeling at least.
