When did that happen?

It definitely predates that, though. 4chan had them beat in that regard years ago.

Since before anyone called them "memes" in the first place.

Remember that some of the most prevalent memes have always come from some of the most septic places on the Internet. Before there was Reddit, there was 4chan. Before 4chan, GameFAQs itself had LUE. And so on, and so on, ad infinitum.

Considering the entire premise of "dank memes" is itself inherently hot garbage, that would make them a perfectly appropriate pairing.

Regardless, what you consider or not doesn't actually matter compared to the actual objective fact of where a lot of those Internet in-jokes came from in the first place.

There's no such thing as a dank meme since you can't create memes underwater.

Probably the latter. Almost everything I've seen that guy post is extremely questionable and reeks of the persecution complex that alt-righters have

It doesn't fucking matter what some people use it as. It doesn't make the entire meme racist.

tbh, the most successful jokes are offensive in nature. As such, its no surprise when jokes are sexist, albeist, racist, etc.

It means "slightly wet". I was just making a joke either way since it works anyway. You can't make memes with a wet computer.

You can make memes in a dank cave, though.

A lot of stuff that ends up on Reddit is just stuff culled from 4chan. Before 4chan there was Something Awful, and Newgrounds. Before that it was just random websites, IRC, AIM, and bbs.

I kind of hate how 'memes' has become synonymous with 'joke' 'fad' or 'image macro' though. A meme to me was always something that started as one way and overtime it changes and propagates in different ways. So that it becomes far from its original purpose.

You don't have to be nazi to be antisemitic. Or was Luther, Voltaire, Wagner, Patton, Mencken, Ford, Nixon, Aquinas, Cicero, Franklin, Washington, Jackson, Truman etc. nazi's?
