I don't always use memes / but when I do, i use the wrong one

A 1889 [10] guy post.

An old studio portrait of an elderly gentleman with a white goatee, a tuft of hair and a waistcoat, holding his spectacles and smiling smugly. Who he is hasn't been confirmed. He looks like a man who has just won an argument by being older. That's the job: he's the internet's grandfather, and everything was better in his day. The top line is usually "Back in my day", the bottom line is the boast. "Back in my day" / "we hand-painted each meme." "Back in my day" / "Apple and BlackBerry were just fruit." "Back in my day we played football" / "with bricks." The more absurd the claim, the better. He walked to school uphill both ways, through a war, and he didn't complain. Well, he's complaining now. At length. With his glasses off, for emphasis. **Why it caught on:** a real Victorian face made "kids these days" grumbling feel properly ancient.
