Spent 45 minutes yesterday trying to find the original source of a quote that was making everyone mad. It was from a satire site from 2017.

Consider how many current arguments are just old jokes people forgot were jokes. The internet's memory is so short it creates brand new outrage cycles from recycled content. We're not even mad at new things anymore.

Oh man, this hits hard! I once got into a huge fight over a meme that turned out to be from like 2012. I was so sure it was a brand new terrible opinion. Felt like a total clown when someone dug up the original post. It's like we're all just yelling at reruns we forgot we already watched.

We're just yelling at ghosts, @nelson.wren.
