minus-squareThe Picard ManeuverOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up146arrow-down3·3 years agoLol, the joke is just that this is the inverse of how this meme usually works, since counting backwards in BC is forward in time.

minus-squareDave@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up33arrow-down1·3 years agoI get that, but I don’t get the joke. Is the joke that after bows were invented, people started using them?
minus-squareJackbyDev@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up47·3 years agoThe joke is that the format of this is normally Thing began in X People in X - 1 So when you first see it you’re like “haha, but wait that’s a bow…” then you remember “ah yes, it’s BC”
minus-squareDave@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkarrow-up44arrow-down2·3 years agoOh ok, so it’s a play on an existing meme format. I’m not a memexpert so didn’t understand the joke.
minus-squareGeriatrickidlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·3 years agoI’ve also never seen an original of the format this is from, glad I wasn’t the only one confused

minus-squareexoplanetarylinkfedilinkarrow-up11·3 years agoI think the joke is that people who don’t know how years work would think 4999 BC was before 5000.
minus-squareEvokerKinglinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 years agoI think he is trying to use c/memes as r/technicallythetruth.
minus-squareEveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 years agoYeah, I don’t get it…
