    This is exactly how confused I would expect my mom to be if I sent her a meme. I feel like this would be more on me than her

      I don’t get how parents can be this fucking stupid. They have lived on this planet at least twice as long as we have. They should know more than us not less. Instead, they actively refuse to learn new things.

        Oh, you’re a youngin. You’ll understand as you get older that not only are there things that will pop up in popular culture that are clearly targeted towards those younger than you, you will realize that you actively don’t care what stupid shit the kids are up to now. That your day will be better if you don’t sacrifice mental energy trying to understand.

            You don’t understand. It’s possible not to understand any meme template. To not understand the concept of a meme template. My mom was probably in her 40s when image macros started taking off. She doesn’t give a fuck who Thanos is, wouldn’t understand the text over the image, wouldn’t understand the “this is you” comment.

            Imagine someone walking up to you and saying, “Knock knock” and waiting expectedly and you’ve never heard a knock knock joke before. That’s my mom (and lots of moms) and memes.
