It’s an older meme, but it checks out. This meme is from the peak meme era, circa 2004.

Conventionally, rather than two panels with captions, it’s made using four separate image panels. For that reason, the meme format is known as gaijin 4koma. You can search that term to learn more about it. Apparently the guys were IGN reporters.

Nissin, but you gotta get the Demae Ramen, not that Top Ramen shit.

I don’t follow any blogs particularly consistently/regularly, but the one that I find myself coming back to at intervals is Raymond Chen’s The Old New Thing. It’s got a pretty heavy programming focus, but also occasionally covers interesting little trivia from Windows history. I’m not a professional coder, and I no longer even do any coding as a hobby, so take it from me when I say that there’s content of interest to programmers and non-programmers alike.

References and phrases don’t make a culture. The words may change, but the culture here is absolutely the same as Reddit. Which is why it’s so damned cringe when you see someone on Lemmy offer a smug, self-satisfied criticism of some supposed inferiority in the Reddit userbase. That kind of smugness is peak Reddit-culture.
