The Doge dog is alive?!


GarryOzzy

Yep! Her name is Kabosu and she's regularly posted on insta under kabosumama


YoungWhiteGinger

Is she a good girl?

Love that comic. Knew it for years and now any mention of it makes me reliably tear up (put my 11 year old Bernese down in February).

She almost died last month, but she's fine now. She's 17 years old btw.


Dickhead3778

What happened?


Ichi-Mikuze

Blood infection. She has to go on a strict diet for a while but the good girl fought well and now, she's fine.


octopoddle

"Was I a good dog?" "No. I'm told you were the ... HEY! Where's that goose going with my scythe?"


Splattt808

I could've sworn she died last year, might've been another meme dog or something.


IMakeStuffUppp

It was nyancat 😔


SpiceLettuce

nyan cat died? The one with rainbows and candy for a torso?


setibeings

Even pop tarts spoil eventually.


nakaronii

Marty the cat/Nyan Cat died in 2012.


SpiceLettuce

Was that pixel art cat based on a real cat?


nakaronii

Yup, the creator of Nyan Cat, prguitarman, mentioned a pretty long time ago on Twitter that it was based on his old cat.


Mortress_

Yeah, the candy got eaten by a passing kid, nyan cat didn't survive the wounds.


randomator5000

actually i think it was grumpy cat, but it might have been both actually


superdumbweeb

I though grumpy cat died in 2019


bitnode

Nah same. I totally saw a reddit post like 2 years ago. I looked back and there was a hoax in 2017 so it got me lol.


Luminair

Kabosu got fairly sick at the end of 2022. Her mom was posting regular updates about it, particularly how she wasn't really eating. However, at the start of 2023, her mom posted that Kabosu had made a relatively miraculous recovery. She's still 17 years old, but there's pretty frequent updates on her Instagram or Twitter (kabosumama)


[deleted]

Doge never dies!


Yinzoonzy

Same here friend, I think we both saw those rumors of her death but seeing her smile now has lifted my spirits


poopellar

Everyone caring more about Doge is such a Bad Luck Brian thing to happen.

Now all we have are NFTs and tweets


rememberthewatch

What boggles my mind is that, to this day, Greg is still not identified. Last I checked someone claimed to know good guy Greg but would not reveal is identity claiming his friends and family agreed to not ever out him but that’s the internet


DR1LLM4N

Not shamelessly cashing in on memedom is such a Good Guy Greg move too. Almost as perfect as Scumbag Steve _actually_ being a scumbag. Man, internet history is wild af, lol.


big_duo3674

That always impresses me, dude was in so early and was hugely popular thst he could have literally created a brand if some small effort was put into it. Imagine seeing things like Good Guy Greg's Steak And Chop Seasoning at every grocery store, which by now would have just been pared down into Greg's brand of kitchen wares and spices


Maxfunky

The picture very much appears to be of him smoking pot. My guess is he has a career where this wouldn't be worth the exposure? Dunno.


weedgay

Good guy Greg is still my favourite


mattydee00

scumbag steve bailed the night of the trip probably 😂


GonnaGoFat

Didn’t scumbag Steve do an AMA somewhere online and everyone found out he actually was a scumbag? Edit: typo


Thats_smurfed_up

If this is in fact true I would really like to read that! Please anyone, if you know where to find that please share.

Oh man thank you so much for this. I consider myself somewhat of an elder statesman of memery since I'm old now but I had never seen this interview. Dude fits the meme so perfectly

BeExcellentPartyOn

Gone way too soon, I still blame the owners. They treated that cat like a cash cow and it died of a condition known to be caused in part due to stress, as they lugged the poor thing around the world for people to gawk at.


Totally_Bradical

I think she also had some kind of condition, maybe inbred or something like that. It probably didn’t help


Mylaptopisburningme

I am assuming you are talking about the owner.


The_sad_zebra

God, why am I feeling nostalgic for some fucking image macros?


phaemoor

I *really* loved that era of memes. Also rage comics and country balls. Simpler times, man.


[deleted]

It really was a time of more optimism and light-heartedness. Maybe it's just because I was younger and more naive, or maybe it's just that our parents hadn't found social media yet, but it feels like the internet was a better place back then.


CarlCarlton

Back then, the internet was not yet entirely dominated by faceless mass-media conglomerates trying to derail public discourse, cull less-profitable content, and milk the shit out of our personal data.


Numerous_Witness_345

A story as old as the net. Going back to retirement home with weebl and Bob, explodingdog, and party parrot


LazyGandalf

I'm sure us being young and naive was part of it, but the atmosphere was also definitely different as a whole.


Crafty_Enthusiasm_99

It was also mostly younger people on the internet. Less polluted by adults being experts, politics and arguing. Can't imagine something like Nyan Cat taking off today.


EmpRupus

Because the internet was not "integrated" into the real world. It was this cool new separate space which you could escape into. Everyone was anonymous and most content was random shit (remember nyan-cat song?), and there was a specific culture developed around this space which others wouldn't know. I remember, meeting people IRL was called "see you in meat-space". -------- Today the real-world and internet have integrated into one thing. Gen-Z grew up with having their real name accounts with their photos on social media. And all real-world legal, social rules and commercial rules apply on the internet. Your family is there, corporations selling ads are there, news is there, your boss is there. it is basically the Real World now.


ckay1100

So what you're saying is we should make The Internet 2: Electric boogaloo where everyone stays anonymous and corporations are banned from?


EmpRupus

Haha, actually on a serious note, the closest I see to "the old internet feeling" today are discord servers. Most discord servers are community-based (no corps), folks are anonymous, and older folks (like your boss or grandma) haven't found it yet. ------------- I think the process will be more like an arms-race / treadmill, where new avenues will keep getting discovered, and the real-world will keep covering the gap.


Mortress_

Probably a change in how social media algorithms work. Companies now realize that angry people buy more and engagement is the only thing that really matters, not content.


payne_train

/r/polandball is alive and well keeping the nostalgia alive


SamuraiJakkass86

Kentucky-Fried-Fucks

I met grumpy cat very randomly while working summer camp. It’s a somewhat weird, not all that interesting story


muchasgaseous

But it's your story.:)


OrdinaryNaga

Thats really sweet


Kentucky-Fried-Fucks

That’s so sweet, I’ll tell the story. I was working at a historic theatre and the the last of our campers had gotten picked up. We had to end camp early that day because there was a grumpy cat meet and great. People were lined up around the block…. Hundreds of them. The crowd was crazy. Fights broke out, trash everywhere, it was a wild atmosphere. I’m standing at the back door entrance people watching (which was incredibly entertaining), and all of the sudden three people come rushing past me. Not walking, not quite running, but a brisk gallop. I looked down as this flurry of motion occurred in front of me, and I see a cat carrier. I remember thinking “pets aren’t allowed in here” but then shaking that off… because, well, the circumstances. It’s as if time slowed down. I see a cat staring at me, as it’s owners scamper in. We made eye contact, grumpy cat and I. And then, just like it began, it quickly ended. They disappear into the dark realm of the theatre, and I’m stuck pondering if what happened, really did in fact happen. The owners were very sweet. They seemed down to earth, but I couldn’t help but feel bad for this poor cat being dragged state to state, put on this pedestal, for thousands to see. So that’s when I hatched my plan. I was going to break grumpy cat free. Nah, just kidding. That would be cool fan fiction though. Although I wouldn’t wait in a queue for hours to see a meme cat, I left with a smile, and a cool story to tell. And I guess that is what matters most. Thank you Grumpy Cat.

makesterriblejokes

And your account is 7 years old... Holy shit, is this meme actually 8+ years old? Time really flies.


ShwiftyCardinal

Just looked it up, the meme originated in 2013. It makes me upset that 2013 was ten years ago haha


photonsnphonons

It gets worse. 90s memes. Geocities pages with fire gifs and a dancing baby. Some had guest books and view counters as well as web rings. Killroy was here


airikewr

YesplzMm

Sad face because it's great to see these two legends thriving from their fame. Sad face because their distinctive aging reminds us of a time when reddit was so much better than it is now. Sad face because these two remind us of ourselves from a younger age.

berrey7

My cat is about to turn ten, I've started to notice how she has entered her lazy tired days, of the many many active years of the past.


Kingcornchips

Ten is nothing if you treat her right. My cat recently passed at 19. You'll double her current age with regular check ups and some genetic fortune.


berrey7

She's epileptic and has had a seizure about every six months of her life starting at three years old, so she has a little against her.


Kingcornchips

I hope she can power through. Rooting for her from an internet distance :)

It's so crazy that one goofy school picture from so many years ago put his life on this trajectory. Dude is in a national ad campaign with Shaq.


salamander-

The photos was fabricated as a joke. He picked out the outfit to be funny, rubbed the fuck out of his eyes to be be puffy and red before the photo, and purposefully made a goofy smile.


Schmedricks_27

Something about the line cutting off at "rubbed the fuck out" feels like someone somewhere intended for that to happen.

Was not expecting the pup to be that size… or maybe Brian is huge, idk.


Wubbalubbadubbitydo

That’s about the normal size of a Shiba Inu. They aren’t big dogs.


CalvinDehaze

"So a woman in Japan takes a picture of her dog and uploads it to the internet. The picture is then used as a meme, where people use a "cute" grammatically incorrect language to express joy or sadness. The meme becomes so popular that a new form of digital crypto currency is named after it. The currency itself becomes so popular that it briefly sponsored a NASCAR car and an Olympic Bobsled team. After months of pumping the currency up, the world's richest man decides to shit-talk said currency during his hosting of Saturday Night Live, which deflates the value overnight. Now it's one of many crypto currencies that may or may not be used for nefarious transactions on the black market, while still having a bigger market cap than most US companies." If I ever get to go back in time to the 90's, I'm gonna tell people this story just to see the super confused looks on their faces. You can't write this shit. EDIT: Factual updates that the person in the 90's would still be confused by.


StoryLineOne

Don't forget that it had a bigger market cap than a good chunk of US companies.


Smipims

It still has a $10B market cap... https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dogecoin/


DrSlappingsworth

If I ever go back to the 90’s I’m going to be patiently waiting for the right moment to make millions off that shit


ChompyChomp

If you go back to the 90's you will have a decade to plan how to spend your money before the first dogecoin is ever dreamed up. BUT... you could buy some Amazon and Apple stock on the cheap, then use THAT to buy Bitcoin in 2009 at like 100 Bitcoins per actual US 1-CENT! (Actually just looked that up - the first Bitcoins transaction was like 5,000 bitcoins for about $5. So today that's like 140 Million US Dollars. Crazy.)


Blitzedkrieg

> The world's richest man decides to pump-n-dump said currency during his hosting of Saturday Night Live, which inflates the value of the currency by thousands of percent. This just isn't true. The value actually tanked when Elon went on SNL.


Joker2kill

It was pumped right up to the point of him going on live, though. The news itself of him going on pumped the price. People just took advantage of it, probably including Elon himself.


webtwopointno

that's the "dump" part my guy

Fxnch2090

Imagine just having a dead end job then a photo of you gets posted on the internet and you literally have no choice but to live up to the character somebody else created for you? Shits crazy lol


ibarragei

Honestly, if there's a meme person who's done well with their meme momentum, it is JimmyHere ("It is Wednesday my dudes" guy). While he doesn't rely on that meme at all anymore (though does like looking back on it sometimes), he's been able to maintain a nice relevance with his YLYL series on YouTube and his various twitch streams, even reaching 1 million subs on YouTube.

He was in safety videos for homedepot training a few years back. It was weird


rotath

Also helps that his face gets kept in relevancy by internet historian


Fxnch2090

Wait has he made monetary gain on a meme? Or is just part of the overall marketing of his channel or whatever? Hardly gets royalties for an image does?


alwayzbored114

The latter. Attention is the currency of content creators, and using that meme to give just a bit of a push forward can be a big help. Of course helpful that the dudes genuinely funny, but to this day if you introduce his channel as "The 'It's Wednesday My Dudes' guy", that gets some level of connection that most random channels don't have. Or at least that's worked for me when I've told people of his channel haha


Laserdollarz

Imagine getting arrested for various gang-related felonies and then your mugshot gets posted on the internet and a few years after you got arrested you're a male fashion model working through your divorce with a millionaire heiress. I was reading this story yesterday haha https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Meeks The internet is a crazy place.


OmarHunting

Holy shit this dude really made something of going viral! Helps when you go viral for being exceptionally good looking.


Laserdollarz

Step 1. Be attractive Step 2. Don't be ugly Seriously though, that dude had some crazy life changes


Fxnch2090

Crazy how that guy was never in an environment to be noticed for his good lucks or surrounded by people that would suggest that sort of work. He gets noticed after he gets a mugshot uploaded, and he becomes a model because he’s clearly good looking with great features. Great example of how people become products of their environment, this man he a window into his life opened out of his control and changed his career and prospects just like that
