A pristine example of 2000's era internet humour. Note the self-indulgent repetition, the demotivational formatting, and the whimsy unalloyed by irony or self-deprecation. The creator would have had no stubble, denim pants that touch the ground and are usually wet, and hope for the future. It would have been quite the sight.
I wonder if we were the last unsullied generation who were allowed to have regular childhoods without the weight of soul crushing despair over the future.
Say instead, one of the few in history.
Coming soon to a natural history museum near you.
