By this definition, almost all memes are history memes.

Elder Scrolls IV is officially history. That’s too recent… wait…

Context? Where's the context?

Context: Sir David Attenborough's silly ass chased a giant anteater in 1955

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's really amazing how the anteater starts going into defense mode, and he reacts like he has no idea what was about to happen.

Did this guy really survive until recently?

Sir David is still alive, and may he live another 100 years.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oh, I though I saw news about him dying, but I probably mixed it up.

Fuck. You may have triggered the curse.

When you catch a ~~tiger~~ anteater by the tail....

[–] epicshepich@programming.dev 7 points 1 month ago

Everyone is so focused on how ridiculous anteaters' faces are that I've never noticed how ridiculous their tails are.

What's he trying to achieve? And why is that man trying to stop him?
