Back then a busy-body hag at the shops asked me where my mask was. I said “Why, doesn’t yours work?” and “If you’re so worried about your health, how come you’re so fat?” Good times.

The best were the "outdoor" restaurants in NYC that hundreds of dogs pissed on as they walked by and or all the dog shit all over the same sidewalks (that housed the outdoor seating) that people picked up but not thoroughly removed - but the very very best were the rats that inhabited all of them at night once they closed. Or the homeless people that sought refuge inside of them. I would take video's while totally laughing my ass off - I can think of few thing LESS hygienic than eating on the rat infested, dog shit and piss saturated laden streets of NYC! At least INSIDE they have to adhere to CODES! And yet people believed this was SAFER! Only in New Yawk folks only in New Yawk!

I loved those times because the narcissists were extremely easy to spot.

Thank you for posting these. They must never be forgotten. They are history.

I had forgotten some of the insanity of those times. The outdoor/indoor restaurant tables were admittedly counter-intuitive but were the only options for dining out. Our jumbo sized governor loved the power the vid lock gave him and he abused it. He mandated us into segregated sheepdom. Thank you for this reminder of that tyranny.

Never. Again.

For me, the propaganda and obvious PSYOP really separated those who prioritize material over those who value immaterial... https://eccentrik.substack.com/p/6-ridiculous-propaganda-lines-of

I took a picture of a traffic sign in Southern California that flashed “OC BEACHES CLOSED” to remind me that the police were arresting solo surfers out alone in the ocean.

While things weren't quite so ridiculous where I am, if they try anything like that again I'm going full-on vigilante. They radicalized me.

If you've ever seen the movie, "Idiocracy," you'll realize after looking at these memes that things are now far worse. The world is filled with idiots.

Some nice ones today. The squirt-gun baptism apparently was a put-on, after they "did the real thing first." https://cafemom.com/parenting/225456-squirt-gun-baptism-viral/345979-a_water_hose_was_just_a_bit_too_much_so_the_family_settled_on_something_smaller_instead

the longer ago it is, the more hilarious! thankfully I did not see the masker at the store this morning. I am going to remember to go a half hour later to escape her.

Thanks for the memories! A great compilation, but my absolute favorite was missing. It's the photo of "dancing" at the prom. The couples stand back to back, with their arms entwined behind them at the the elbows. They look like they are trying to throw each other over their heads.

Fabulous compilation and only a fraction of the stupidity.

Like Jeff said, "Make it make sense!"

The only meme you are missing is the band students in a Wenatchee, Washington high school, each playing their instruments inside their own green standing-room-only tent...
