minus-squareRaiderkev@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·1 年前Tbf, waiting a day n a half for a video to load, only for it to be a Rick roll would have been way funnier. Too bad the meme didn’t exist yet then.

minus-squarethallamabond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up14·1 年前No, only goatse existed in the '90s, and that’s 1999. Everything else on your list was from the 2000s.
