I for one am certainly glad, YTMND is iconic as the ascension of the shitpost and is a core element of the Internet As It Was.
When aliens discover the burned out husk of our planet, they too will know the joys of static images and audio clip loops.
I hope they've kept:
Cap-tain, Jean Luc Pi-card-ofthe U-S-S, En-ter-prise.
Please stop making me feel so old. I know I wasn't the man then, I know I am still not the man now...dawg.
Wrong. You are the man now, dawg.
I know I'm lame, but I came back and I saw your comment and let me just say this internet friend. I spent the day helping my demented mom move across the state to be closer to me, and i really needed that morale boost. Thank you, truly.
YTMND was the tits! A lot of it is still available again too! https://ytmnd.com/
For us beggars what does YTMND even mean?
As far as I recall, you're the man now dog
You screwing with me because that makes no sense. No offense.
None taken, here's the wiki https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/YTMND
Holy shit did not know that...thanks for the education....no sarcasm.
You're the man now dog
It's a line from a movie where some old white dude (Sean Connery) is trying to speak jive.
It’s the ultimate white savior movie
It's the alternate universe version of PTKFGS
Ah man, there were so many good ones riffing on initial d. Different segments of the opening theme became their own memes. ytmnd was/is a beautiful surreal artform.
Is that one Ridin' Spinnaz with the swinging D in the Library of Congress?
Probably. A lot of things that have been copyrighted were required to have a copy sent to the copyright office and, by extension, the library of congress. At least in the past
In a ruling, opens new tab for Richmond, Virginia-based Valancourt Books, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit said the Copyright Office's demand amounted to an unconstitutional government taking of Valancourt's property.
The applicable portion related to these older works here
The Copyright Office requires a physical copy of any work published in the United States to be deposited with it. The office has said the requirement ensures that the Library of Congress "has an opportunity to obtain copies of every copyrightable work published in the United States"
If the website ever filed for copyrights then the site contents itself may fall under the same purview.
Not what I was expecting but that's interesting in its own right.
