Kids these days are running around with their TikToks and YouTube shorts, and honestly, we feel bad for them. They can't focus on anything. They need their phones in order to survive, whereas we had to print our directions from MapQuest in order to get to a friend's house. Life was simpler back then. We had Reddit, Ebaumsworld, and MySpace… that was it! We went home and played Neopets, did some homework, and burned CDs to make the best mixes for our next car ride.

Back in the good old days, when memes were still original and fresh, we think we can safely say that those were happier times. To be fair, we didn't have any bills to pay, so that is definitely part of it. But it's also the nostalgia, just remembering those early Lolcats memes where everyone spoke like a cat would crack us up like crazy. They were the best of times. If you're feeling a like taking a stroll back in time, give yourself a nice scroll below with these vintage memes below. 2000s, here we come!

  • When was the last time you read a newspaper? We haven't seen one in at least 15 years. We used to love going through the comics section with our dad on Sunday meowrnings. He always had a big mug of black coffee, and for us, a glass of milk. We probably had a glass of milk about as long ago as we saw a newspaper.

  • We have no idea what is going on in this photo, but it's hissterical. The internet used to be full of these kinds of cat pictures, and now, they're all getting replaced with weirdly creepy AI videos of cats dancing and doing hooman things. We don't like it. It's not nearly as silly.

    we're buying a home. when we first viewed it i jokingly said does the kitty come with the house? if so? sold! realtor laughed and said she didn't think so but she'd ask. today was final walkthrough and she told us the seller said they really don't have space for him in their new home (older couple who downsized considerably) and if we want him...he's ours. this is garfield y'all. tomorrow we close on a cat...i mean a house.

    REI tilthat TIL that a cat once co-authored a physics paper. In 1975, a physicist had just finished writing a paper and was ready to publish but realized that he had used 'we' instead of 'I' throughout, despite being the sole author. Not wanting to edit the paper, he listed his cat, Chester, as a co-author. via http://ift.tt/2pvbu4c mikkeneko This is the cat, by the way:

    Adopted my cat six months ago from a local rescue and I don't think she had ever seen carpet before. She laid like this for about 30 minutes without moving
