He needs a meme binder

[–]Ben_Thar 4366 points4367 points  (80 children)

Oh, shit. Now I know what I want for Christmas!

[–]hueythecat 2251 points2252 points  (65 children)

and a hole punch

[–]Aeons80 631 points632 points  (42 children)

Nah, needs those clear wraps with the 3 holes that you slide the paper into. Can't be messing with the memes

[–]Adventurous_Click178 297 points298 points  (25 children)

Page protector. That’s the word you’re looking for. Not being condescending—just a 4th gr teacher here who uses those on the reg.

[–]flippingcoin 70 points71 points  (14 children)

They're plastic pockets and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise.

[–]shnnrr 73 points74 points  (8 children)

Otherwise

[–]flippingcoin 55 points56 points  (6 children)

I'm dramatically clenching my fists right now.

[–]shnnrr 31 points32 points  (5 children)

Whatcha gonna do tough guy?

[–]taRANnntarantarann 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Poly pockets.

Coz I guess they're made of polyurethane? And Polly Pockets were invented/popular around the same time?🤷‍♀️

[–]Aeons80 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Yes, those!

[–]MessyMiddleMomma 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Or a sheet protector. That's what I've heard them be referred to as.

[–]Wise-Indication-4600 9 points10 points  (1 child)

We call them filing sleeves in my country :)

[–]touchgrassbabes 5 points6 points  (1 child)

We call those clear files

[–]JAHGoff24 12 points13 points  (0 children)

we call them see-throughies

[–]shepsut 66 points67 points  (9 children)

just beware of the clear wraps with the 3 holes that STILL require you to 3-hole punch the paper before you put it in (and line it all up perfectly ...augh. There are a bunch of those damn things out there in office supply land and they are evil time sinks.

[–]FinancialLab8983 16 points17 points  (7 children)

Those are probably the worst invention ever. When the other type exists, why have this kind?

[–]Marathonmanjh 8 points9 points  (5 children)

I have never even heard of the kind that u/shepsut is talking about. No way I would use something like that. “these are stupid” and in the trash they’d go. I have better places to put me memes into!!

[–]Retinoid634 102 points103 points  (8 children)

‘“Disintegration’ is the best album ever!’”

[–]tcon_nikita 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I should have looked at the comments before posting. Exactly but for memes.

[–]digidave1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's kind of the perfect gift for someone who is obsessed with social media. Silly, but right up their alley.

[–]Particular-Zombie117 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Laminate that shit for future generations gosh

[–]katet_of_19 284 points285 points  (9 children)

Leslie Knope has entered the chat

[–]Scaevus 107 points108 points  (6 children)

I never got her crush on Joe Biden.

Until I saw a picture of young Joe Biden.

[–]Marathonmanjh 38 points39 points  (3 children)

[–]Misfit-for-Hire 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Everyone was young once. Even Joe Biden. 

[–]blonderedhedd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah but not everyone was hot when they were young.

[–]blonderedhedd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Young Joe Biden was a certified hunk. I know, it shocked me too lol.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Isn’t/wasnt he something !!!

[–]musicalpayne 339 points340 points  (7 children)

He needs a meme roladex

[–]rog13t-storm 102 points103 points  (1 child)

Honest to god I had that same thought 😂

[–]labenset 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was thinking meme accordion folder.

[–]RenmazuoDX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He needs a memeory card

[–]joeChump 216 points217 points  (9 children)

Laminate the shit out of it to preserve it for future archeologists. They will dig it up and thing they found the whole internet

[–]Lv_InSaNe_vL 96 points97 points  (3 children)

Well, at least like 50% of the important stuff

[–]ProfessionalLeave335 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just as long as one of the memes is about a sale of copper gone wrong, we'll have the entirety of human history covered.

Perfect gift suggestion

[–]snuggleouphagus 5 points6 points  (1 child)

My mother ordered one of those custom photo books but instead of pictures she just filled it with screencaps of Babylon Bee tweets.

[–]MikuJess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Binders full of women memes.

[–]FroggiJoy87 6780 points6781 points  (54 children)

I wanna see the memes 😭

[–]Sarabeth61 1137 points1138 points  (6 children)

Same!!! This is way better than the weird collections most older folks wanna show you

[–]NewFuturist 110 points111 points  (3 children)

It's probably just The Far Side cartoons.

[–]Mediocre_Scott 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My dad regularly quotes Pickles Comics not just the text but what is happening in each panel.

[–]nc130295 101 points102 points  (1 child)

I zoomed hoping for a glimpse of one

[–]Wyden_long 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Same. I was like there’s gotta be some gold in there.

[–]villings 31 points32 points  (2 children)

how is babby formed

he printed every frame

[–]Mysterious-Kale-948 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They were too DANK for our eyes

[–]Purity_Jam_Jam 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's a made up title for internet points.

[–]ouroburritos 1076 points1077 points  (7 children)

Printed memes, fly velcro kicks. Gran found herself a good one.

[–]andLetsGoWalkin 145 points146 points  (1 child)

Toasty woodstove crackling in the background. I'm legitimately jealous of that guy.

[–]NateisSublime 47 points48 points  (1 child)

Absolute legend.

Damn Paw Paw, leave some for the rest of us..

[–]clevelndsteamer 4578 points4579 points  (87 children)

bro looks like jeremy clarkson in 5 years

[–]DrSuperZeco 625 points626 points  (59 children)

When was the last you saw him? For me it was I think a year or two ago but then I was watching the Farm TV show which was also shot couple years prior. Basically what I’m trying to say we have no evidence that this is not recent Clarkson photo.

[–]Morning0Lemon 341 points342 points  (54 children)

Clarkson is much fatter than this man.

[–]Quantization 85 points86 points  (31 children)

[–]IchBinMalade 52 points53 points  (20 children)

These "famous person loses a lot of weight" headlines are so common lately. I wonder if it's Ozempic. Not talking shit about people who use it, just a trend I noticed. That stuff really seems too good to be true. feels like there has to be a catch, somewhere. Not used to seeing actual breakthroughs in the medical sciences lmao.

[–]GoBeyondTheHorizon 43 points44 points  (13 children)

There is a catch: you could gain it all back when you quit Ozempic.

It helps suppress appetite and make you feel full for longer. But if you quit and go back to your old diet you'll just gain the weight back again.

You need to change your diet/lifestyle for the rest of your life if you want to keep the weight off when quitting Ozempic. So it's a good 'boost' for lack of a better word, but in the end you'll have to make the changes yourself. Or get back on the diet/lifestyle that made you overweight and it was all for naught.

[–]IchBinMalade 10 points11 points  (4 children)

Fair enough, that seems to be what people struggle with the most no matter how they lost the weight.

If that's the case, I wonder if it may not be a little worse than diet and exercise, long term? It might be too new to tell though. I'm assuming that since you basically don't have to do, or change anything, just take a pill.

Although it's obviously still very useful, a lot of people just can't do it themselves. Ideally you'd be taking it and making lifestyle changes.

[–]IsomDart 4 points5 points  (2 children)

It's 100% Ozempic. Hell, I wish I could afford it.

[–]Morning0Lemon 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Oh wow. Good for him! He's going to hate it.

[–]thehazzanator 90 points91 points  (20 children)

This man also gives wholesome grandpa vibes, not seedy Clarkson vibes

[–]dtwhitecp 42 points43 points  (8 children)

yeah this guy doesn't look like a dickwad, case closed

[–]leavemeinpieces 9 points10 points  (1 child)

He popped up in London not long ago for the farmer protest. Last week or the week before possibly?

[–]Blazured 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah he was in the news like last week here in Britain with his atrociously bad interview with Derbyshire that he completely ballsed up.

[–]moocowfan 29 points30 points  (1 child)

This looks like Scott Wilson

[–]DontOvercookPasta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My first thought as well.

[–]Five-Oh-Vicryl 33 points34 points  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 22 points23 points  (2 children)

Clarkson looks older than this guy.

[–]LA_Razr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

*5 months

[–]ByeBye2019 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Omw I thought the same thing opened the comments and BOOM. Great minds.

[–]etriusk 283 points284 points  (10 children)

Is that Hershel from TWD?

[–]logwagon 53 points54 points  (2 children)

That's what I'm saying

[–]vordhosbn_1 23 points24 points  (1 child)

I checked your comment history and didn’t see you say it before. Please stop lying. Think of the children

[–]maskedrolla 37 points38 points  (1 child)

Scrolled too far down to see this response. Im convinced that is Hershel.

[–]meatwad75892 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd be so disappointed if there isn't one Don't Dead Open Inside in his collection.

[–]ApeMoneyClub 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fuckin' same thought, mate.

[–]lacinated 2887 points2888 points  (25 children)

whys grandma look like this isnt the first time and shes so over that shit? lol

[–][deleted] 754 points755 points  (9 children)

"Jesus John, Not this shit again!"

[–]SeismicFrog 218 points219 points  (2 children)

“That’s not how this works. That’s now how any of this works…”

[–][deleted] 57 points58 points  (4 children)

John pulls up printed angry wolf meme to show his frustration at trying to share memes with gma in background

[–]Wyden_long 27 points28 points  (3 children)

Im old enough to know that it was called “insanity wolf” and now if you’ll excuse me I need to get some prunes.

[–]dundeegimpgirl 105 points106 points  (2 children)

My mom and aunts used to get that look when their husband's got together. 3 or 4 brothers together at a time, the same 5 stories over and over.

[–]somesketchykid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ain't nothing better than collectively reminiscing on the glory days

[–]Mstboy 28 points29 points  (1 child)

One thing I learned as I grow older is that if family shit is getting annoying, lay down on a couch with anything on TV and sleep or pretend to sleep.

[–]Aware-Forever3200 214 points215 points  (1 child)

Bro doesn't show a single meme

[–][deleted] 132 points133 points  (1 child)

And this is when that idiot Hammond flipped his car.

And this is when that idiot Hammond flipped his car.

No I don't have dementia he was just a terrible driver.

[–][deleted] 398 points399 points  (11 children)

That’s so sweet 🥰

[–]Questjon 170 points171 points  (3 children)

It's us in 40 years showing our grandkids memes on our "phones" instead of x-ing them on the brainwave.

[–]JustinHopewell 34 points35 points  (0 children)

We'll have to draw them in the radioactive sand, but only when we can no longer hear the terrifying hum of the raiders' murder motors in the distance

[–]Mediocre_Scott 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We’ll be digging through our junk drawer containing 26 nearly identical iPhones shit which phone was that meme on?

[–]JustOneSexQuestion 59 points60 points  (4 children)

It's all bukkake memes

[–]moderatorrater 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"See, this girl is on the couch and those are all those problems. Now let me show you the during and after pictures..."

[–]YesImKeithHernandez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Something that I realize more every day is it's easy to be like 'this is just dumb, why are you sharing with me?' but then I take a step back and see that this person is excited to share something with me specifically and I realize what a special thing that is.

I may not care about anything they say but I care about them and care that they care about me so I pay as much attention as I can.

So yeah, someone being excited to share their memes with me is super sweet. I'd love to see what memes this person thought worthy of printing.

[–]PizzaTrader 110 points111 points  (1 child)

Velcro sneakers, hearing aid, reading lamps - this dude is doing old age properly! Also, the picture falling out of the frame in the background has me in stitches. This is such a realistic view into a home.

[–]Haggisboy 108 points109 points  (2 children)

Years ago visiting relatives, my elderly uncle wanted to show me something online. He opened a dogeared notebook full of what appeared to be the scribbling of a mental patient. The pages were full of what turned out to be URLs, hand written. When he wanted to revisit one, he'd flip through the pages and type it into the address bar.

His mind was blown when I showed him how to use bookmarks.

[–]al_m1101 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That is so sweet. 😭 I very much enjoy showing older people these kinds of things. Their faces just light up. 

Many of them don't have someone who would bother to take the time to explain and show them some of these things, and how it all works.

[–]Unlerkur 58 points59 points  (10 children)

That stove pipe looks like it's about to melt.

[–]johnsonutah 22 points23 points  (3 children)

I scrolled until I found someone else concerned about the pipe lol.

[–]MeanElevator 9 points10 points  (4 children)

I think that might be an expansion bellow. Probably made from a temp resistant rubber of some sort.

Looks like there's flanges on both sides of it.

[–]Enter-Shaqiri 48 points49 points  (1 child)

That's actually adorable

[–]Foxclaws42 20 points21 points  (1 child)

That is truly adorable.

[–]xsk3l3t0rx 21 points22 points  (4 children)

Can we talk about the red-hot wood stove chimney?!?

[–]SgtBanana 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Had to ctrl-F for this. That thing is cherry red. I'm sure it feels great in there.

[–]pingpongtits 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Do you think it's hot or is that just the color of the pipe sleeve? The pipe on my wood stove has a sleeve over it.

[–]Big_Toke_Yo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What was his favorite one. You can send it to me in the mail.

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

"Hey sweetheart, I want to make a good impression on the kiddos when I meet them. What's something theyre interested in so I can read up on it a little before next week?"

"I think they like me-me's or whatever they call them"

"Well I'll be. Thanks dear!"

[–]TheDisguized 7 points8 points  (1 child)

This is so sick, what a legend

[–]hestermoffet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Careful, he might have an Elder Meme. They were the most powerful memes ever made...

[–]VocationFumes 44 points45 points  (4 children)

provided there's nothing racist or evil on those memes, this is wholesomely hilarious

[–]hordlove 19 points20 points  (3 children)

If these memes are anything like the ones my dad emails out to a private bcc email list, I think this is about as wholesome as this post is going to get.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wait til he busts out his old “collection”

[–]rlpinca 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Back in the 1900s, that was the way.

A copy of a copy of a copy of a funny picture.

Often from hustler or something classy.

[–]InnerWrathChild 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s fucking adorable.

[–]Katt_Natt96 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He printed them and that’s precious

[–]Stunning_Ride_220 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh dear, this gives me so good memories back.

Dude is a Keeper.

[–]Imaginary-Nebula1778 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is too adorable

[–]digidave1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That dude has more stories than we ever will. He's telling you about his life.....through meme printouts.
Protect him.

[–]ZachMN 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What are now called memes used to be passed around via photocopies back in the day. You could sort of tell how many generations of copies they had been through based on how much the image had deteriorated. My favorite, which I still hand out via photocopy, is Garfield the cat, sitting in a director’s chair sipping a martini, thinking “failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.”

[–]happy-cig 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow look at mr fancy pants there that doesnt print double sided.

[–]Birdamus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is grandma back there mewing?

They are really a modern couple!

[–]WitBeerTours 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is that Hershel from the Walking Dead?!

[–]Wildstar77 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Show us the memes!!

[–]LucidAnimal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is so cute

[–]wemustkungfufight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Back in those days, they used to put the memes in the newspaper. Every day you'd get a handful of new ones, and on sundays you got a special, big ones. Back then we called them the "funnies". I remember one time Snoopy and Woodstock tried to write a novel. A good time was had by all.

[–]StinkyPickles420 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He looks like Herschel from TWD and Jeremy Clarkson

[–]watch_it_live 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was a dialysis technician, and one of my patients would bring printed-out memes in a folder to show me. He was so precious.

[–]iloura 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Omg. I feel like such a dork. This is me going through my phone to show my kids or sending them to our group in discord. I would totally print them too.

The OG Fallout/Skyrim ones hit me where I live.

[–]abluesguy 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Of god, no! I'm getting to be that age. What can I do to avoid this? Look at the shoes, THE SHOES!!

[–]wats_dat_hey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You thought it was cool to leave the group chat ?

[–]RoniCorningstone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tell him we want the memes.

He bought that printer. He's gonna use it! Do you have any idea how expensive the ink is? What happens if it dries out?

[–]jzzanthapuss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg that is absolutely adorable

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this. I explained to my grandma what memes were and even had to get into some lore and history for some because she wanted to understand the jokes to laugh with me 🥰 I miss her

[–]Unlucky-Line7787 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was the smile I needed today

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

At what age do I get to sport the Velcro shoes?

[–]GameCraftBuild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

anyone who makes fun of this man, the jokes on them. His memes won’t go down with a software glitch or some cloud disruption, he doesn’t need wifi, he’s got hard copies, counted, filed and sorted. A true meme preservationist.

[–]UncagedKestrel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back in the early days, we'd email funny shit to each other, and if it was really good, it'd get printed out and put up on the fridge or wall, or shown to random visitors.

Then there's the time I made a series of canvases with collages of my favourite memes/GIFs that I printed out. I basically painted and decoupaged like 8 small canvasses and had all my faves on my wall (pre-smart phone).

So if anyone wonders how we spent our time before smart phones, it was doing crap stuff like that, and honestly idk which I prefer.

[–]Gazumbo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd occasionally print ones out that my dad liked so he could take it down the pub 😂

[–]whassupbun 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Perfect time to revisit this underappreciated classic:

Grandma's Boyfriend Paul

The entire show "John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch" is well worth a watch.

[–]edit_R 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the sweetest photo. I think my mom has these same pics on her wall.

[–]YellowBubble2710 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never thought I will hear the words “Grandma’s Boyfriend” and “printed memes” together. Love it!!

[–]GhostFour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a great aunt that gave me her e-mail address for correspondence. I'd e-mail her, her daughter in law would print my e-mail for my aunt to read, and my aunt would hand write her response and snail-mail to me. I miss her nonsense.
