I wonder what the oldest internet meme is? The oldest one I know of is "lemon chicken", but I think that possibly "kites" is older.

What about that weird dancing baby?

ETA: So I was thinking about my old Geek Code and realized that Kibo predates the dancing baby. If we go way back into Usenet, there are a lot of dead tree memes that became popular internet memes, Hitchhiker's Guide memes, Discordian memes, Python memes etc. There are some memes that were popular among the tech crowd, like the use of "Magic" from the "Magic/More Magic" switch story at MIT. Even old memes in coding like variables named foo, bar and baz... I guess it really depends on where we draw the line on defining a meme and defining what group it would need to be popular among; the general public (which would push the date forward) or old school geeks, which have loads of memes within that subculture (ala the Jargon File).

I think the oldest actual internet and not fidonet meme I can remember right now is Godwin's Law.

Other than KnowYourMeme, I wonder if anyone's actually tried to archive and carbon-date popular internet memes back to the beginning.

OH NO

OH NO NO NO NO

I remember an older one! "You have died of dysentery".

I'm sure there are much older internet memes, but that's the oldest one I was on the internet for.

Not a meme, really, but a behavior:  At one time, people honestly expected that putting their argument partially or entirely into Latin added to said argument.  In fact, by 1998, it had become a running gag.

Not sure if that was inherited from FIDONET or TALON, though.

:lulz: I remember that. In fact, it was an incredibly formative time for me, during which I vowed to never, ever do that because it's intolerably douchey.

Almost everyone who did it was in their 50s.  I don't know if that's significant.

Could be something that was taught in college in the sixties, that has since fallen out of favor?

Given that the people doing it were invariably wrong, they probably thought it made them LOOK like they were in college in the 60s.
