The "now" of this comic is actually 2014, almost a decade ago.

Wonder what the actual "now" cell would contain today. I guess a screenshot of this comment about it being a decade old.

2014 wasn't a decade... ago, oh my fucking god.

As far as I'm concerned, it was the 90s about a month ago.

That's it, I'm going to my local skate shop and buying a skateboard. Electric of course, because my knees are fucking shot.

FlyingSquid@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 2y

The fact that there are still skate shops proves my point. I truly am 2 Legit 2 Quit.

But how to decode that data. Better hope they find some info on character encodings too.

That, and it would be in portrait mode, with a video playing. And ads taking up a third or the screen.

That explains why there was no 2010s panel

SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 2y

TikTok, and not being able to break away from it

SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 2y (2 replies)

It would contain just a big "E"

Deep fried memes were also 5 years ago though

SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 2 pts · 2y

No, not deep fried, surreal or absurd

dopeshark@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y

Same thing, but on a phone :v

2010's = You show your IRL friends the cool fresh meme you found

2020's = Endless doomscrolling to escape a dystopian, sick & crumbling world

2030's = 💥 💀

2040's = The Missing Decade

2050's = ::: spoiler divulgâche 🐱‍🐉⚔️🐒

That's the point of the comic, it would basically just be the same panel with more ads each time. We're caught in a techno-cultural recursion.

Think about the difference between pre-smart phone and post-smart phone. Now think about the difference between the last generations of iphones.

Time enjoyed is not wasted.

I keep trying to get this through to my wife, who burns herself out frequently with some dire consequences.

Memes are free. Everything else is a subscription.

It's suicide by meme

Mikelius@lemmy.ml · 12 pts · 2y

Facebook??? Think I remember MySpace having most of the 2000s. Even then, I used Yahoo!, AIM, and MSN way more lol.

Interlinked

Instead of tamagochi it should be messenger

Trollception@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Messenger? Like blackberry messenger or something?

PM_ME_FEET_PICS@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 2y

MSN messenger likely. But that didn't come out until 1999.

criticon@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 2y

msn messenger mostly, but also mIRQ and stuff like that

Edit: damn I just discovered that msn messenger was introduced in 1999. I thought it was older
