The “now” of this comic is actually 2014, almost a decade ago.
Wonder what the actual “now” cell would contain today. I guess a screenshot of this comment about it being a decade old.
2014 wasn’t a decade… ago, oh my fucking god.
As far as I’m concerned, it was the 90s about a month ago.
That’s it, I’m going to my local skate shop and buying a skateboard. Electric of course, because my knees are fucking shot.
The fact that there are still skate shops proves my point. I truly am 2 Legit 2 Quit.
It’ll be this https://xkcd.com/1683/
But how to decode that data. Better hope they find some info on character encodings too.
That, and it would be in portrait mode, with a video playing. And ads taking up a third or the screen.
That explains why there was no 2010s panel
TikTok, and not being able to break away from it
It would contain just a big “E”
Deep fried memes were also 5 years ago though
No, not deep fried, surreal or absurd
Same thing, but on a phone :v
That’s the point of the comic, it would basically just be the same panel with more ads each time. We’re caught in a techno-cultural recursion.
Think about the difference between pre-smart phone and post-smart phone. Now think about the difference between the last generations of iphones.
2010’s = You show your IRL friends the cool fresh meme you found
2020’s = Endless doomscrolling to escape a dystopian, sick & crumbling world
2030’s = 💥 💀
2040’s = The Missing Decade
2050’s =

I keep trying to get this through to my wife, who burns herself out frequently with some dire consequences.

It’s suicide by meme
Facebook??? Think I remember MySpace having most of the 2000s. Even then, I used Yahoo!, AIM, and MSN way more lol.

You’re not allowed to do this to me 😭
Instead of tamagochi it should be messenger
Messenger? Like blackberry messenger or something?
msn messenger mostly, but also mIRQ and stuff like that
Edit: damn I just discovered that msn messenger was introduced in 1999. I thought it was older
Worlds between worlds
Very clever
