Glad I made this post lmao, it’s interesting to see what memes have survived on peoples phones the longest

just the audio of this masterpiece

Metadata on this one shows Oct 2018

I downloaded this from Reddit on 6/22/12:

i make memes and drop them into the void, no save button

This one occasionally comes in handy:

Specially good for when people comes up with serious BS

I just showed my partner the trololo guy

smartphones and memes. two things I avoid like the plague.

Downloaded this one as a contact photo.

idk if it counts as a meme, but I downloaded this image a long while ago to make memes with it. Thus, the oldest meme in my gallery. It probably isn’t that old anyways

Google photos has a date tag attached to this of 9/10/2008

A whole lot of stuff has traveled with me through the years swapping SD cards from one phone to another, and eventually things getting backed up to the cloud, etc. this is probably the oldest thing I have saved that can count as a meme. I don’t know if that date is when I actually first found it, when it first somehow got backed up, if maybe that’s just from some metadata left over from whoever made the meme originally, or something else entirely

But that date does generally feel about right, and the humor feels about right for high school-aged me.

This is dated 2017, so must have been through a few phone-to-phone days transfers to be on my current one.

But in my main store of files that’s synced across machines, I have this from 1999

Memes were still finding their feet back then.

This is a screenshot dated 2013, but it could also be a copy of an older screenshot. I would normally crop it, but I also feel weirdly nostalgic about the old UI.

I’m a feminist but I still can take a good joke. Had this for at least 8 years. Put it on my new phones and send it to new friends when I get them

i’m so old i keep all my memes on my personal microcomputer, not my telephone.

File date says May 2003. I converted it from wmv to mp4 for your convenience.

I have no idea about the context

2015

Dated to 2018

Slumber Hulk (2004)

I didn’t realize so many people stored memes on their phones

i don’t have any memes on my phone. never have, never will.

This, apparently:

And this is the second oldest:
