I see this. There was another thread today where people were discussing if stuff like this counts as a “meme” or if it’s off topic for this page. I’ll be making a pinned post for community input tomorrow about a potential new rule. Stay tuned.

I see a bit of both sides being argued in the comments here. We don’t have a clear rule about this atm, so removals have been inconsistent and case-by-case, often based on reports.

Maybe I’ll start and pin a discussion thread about this during the week (when we’ll get the most eyes on it) and see what the wider community wants, and if desired, maybe we can come up with a rule wording that isn’t too restrictive, but removes stuff that genuinely feels “off topic” for a memes page.

I’m running PopOS and Debian with Nvidia cards that should be affected by this, if I’m understanding this right. Ugh.

What a pain.

They’re angry and sent me a DM suggesting I was either paid $7000 and/or am a nazi if I saw anything to do with politics in this meme. You be the judge.

I did some searching and I’m seeing 1937 and 1938, so yeah, that’s probably about right.

It looks real, and the follow-up gets weirder.

A quick search found the following panels here, if anyone is interested:

Yellowstone National Park

Just did some digging, and it’s legit and from a 1994 book called “The Internet Guide for New Users” by Daniel P. Dern.

Mildly interesting side-note, I found someone’s blog about posting this image and book to a (now non-existent) fediverse server. https://doughnut.neocities.org/blag/15

Good question. I assume that all of current falls under historic, but that could not be the case.

Oh!

Oh.

It’s back, especially with Gen Z, I think. Tobacco companies always seem to find a way.
