minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink47•2 years agoIs the joke that they didn’t waste any time arming with the new tech?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink33•2 years agoI get that, but I don’t get the joke. Is the joke that after bows were invented, people started using them?
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink10•2 years agoI think the joke is that people who don’t know how years work would think 4999 BC was before 5000.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink4•2 years agoI think he is trying to use c/memes as r/technicallythetruth.
minus-squareJackbyDevlinkfedilinkEnglish47•2 years agoThe joke is that the format of this is normally Thing began in X People in X - 1 So when you first see it you’re like “haha, but wait that’s a bow…” then you remember “ah yes, it’s BC”

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink44•2 years agoOh ok, so it’s a play on an existing meme format. I’m not a memexpert so didn’t understand the joke.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink9•edit-22 years agoI’ve also never seen an original of the format this is from, glad I wasn’t the only one confused
minus-squareThe Picard ManeuverOPlinkfedilink27•2 years agoIt’s a meta meme, playing off of the format that usually has people doing something silly before the time something was invented. But it’s backwards because it’s BC. Examples:
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•2 years agoThis format is hilarious, it should have its on sublemmy
minus-squareThe Picard ManeuverOPlinkfedilink146•2 years agoLol, the joke is just that this is the inverse of how this meme usually works, since counting backwards in BC is forward in time.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink3•2 years agoOh… I see. I was trying to figure out the humor… I wasn’t getting the reference to the other memes at first lol.
minus-squareThePuylinkfedilink5•2 years agoMy man I think he was making a joke by pretending that the inversion is so obvious he was trying to understand the joke
minus-squareSpliffman1linkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-22 years agoThe inversion is obvious… Well then again, maybe not for most Americans lol

This is so fucking stupid.
