Even that one wasn't that early. That was like 2000/2001 or something like that. I remember listening to the mp3 of the song on my drive to college.

Actually it was found that Rick roll was originally inspired by an old Internet video dated back to the late 70s. They did a research on that if you're interested.

Knew what "a research" was linking to, but I clicked it anyway.

[-] blindjezebel@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----
