This is hilarious. God I miss how passive aggressive you could get with pictures with embedded links.

Hey best friend!

“Oh. Heyyyy level 4 out of 8 friend.”

What are we looking at here?

MySpace had a top 8 friends on everyone's page

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 5 points 9 months ago (2 children)

And someone sets a copy of the list as an auto-signature? Or keep it in their clipboard??

[–] bane_killgrind@kbin.social 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Automatically would be a very sophisticated integration for 2007

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 1 points 9 months ago

Which is why I presume it was done manually

[–] rookie@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

this is someone manually doing it themselves as a joke to simulate the leaderboard on your myspace page.

I know, there is no integration between the two platforms. But why set an autosignature or keep the list in clipboard? Both is terribly inconvenient for such a stupid gig.

Thanks for making me feel old in my 30s.

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 23 points 9 months ago

My top 8 was always shit like Grimlock, Optimus Prime, etc. specifically to avoid this sort of thing.

Thanks, I am too young for MySpace

It’s not even 8:30 AM and the internet has already made me feel old. Brb gotta go take my medication for my back pain and queue up some techno on WinAmp.

[–] FrostyTrichs@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Look at this guy whipping the llama's ass first thing in the morning.

[–] colforge@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

And I still never saw the way the orange slayed the rake!

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah yeah, call me when IRC and BBS.

I'm disappointed I missed out on that but I did telnet into a bunch of stuff back in the day. It just wasn't much of a thing anymore.

I did enjoy connecting directly with my buddy over a landline to play Command and Conquer though, that's pretty old school.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago

Hell yeah lol, I was just kidding btw not actually trying to be rude!

[–] SkyeStarfall@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 9 months ago

God, that seems so utterly fucked lmao holy shit

If it's not a race for a royal pussy and becoming a king somewhere they can fuck right off.

Come on, this 8-friend scheme is really like the fairy tales of princes coming to the king to ask his daughter's hand.
